Install Myddleware

Download Myddleware

You can download Myddleware in 2 different ways :

Git clone

If you are familiar with Git, Github & command lines, you can clone our Github repository

Setting up the project

At the root of your webserver (for example /var/wwww/html), open a terminal and type the following command:

git clone git@github.com:Myddleware/myddleware.git 

or

git clone https://github.com/Myddleware/myddleware.git

Then, navigate to the newly created Myddleware folder with :

cd myddleware 

Install PHP dependencies with Composer

composer install 

Install Javascript libraries

yarn install 

Build assets

yarn build 

Donwload zip archive

Download the Myddleware zip file here

Installing from the archive

Once you've downloaded our ready-to-use Myddleware archive, you need to unzip it at the root of your webserver directory (for example /var/www/html). You can unzip it manually or using the following command :

unzip myddleware.zip -d <myddleware_dirname>

Docker install

You can use the Docker config files provided to install Myddleware if you want to reproduce our developer's environment or deploy it using Kubernetes for example.

Using the Myddleware Makefile

Make isn't available on Windows systems. If you want to use them on your Windows machine, you will need to set up WSL.

Various useful commands are available on our Makefile. For instance, you can use the following to build & run the Docker container for Myddleware :

## List all your Docker containers
make ps

## Run Myddleware with Docker Compose
make run-with-compose

## Run Myddleware with Docker
make build
make run

Build the Myddleware image with docker-compose (developer's mode)

Build the container locally

Run the following commands in your myddleware directory :

docker-compose up --build

This will build a Myddleware image containing the Myddleware container (PHP with Apache) as well as a Node.js container to handle assets and a MySQL container for your database.

Once the images are up and running, you need to go to the Node.js terminal and type :

yarn install
yarn build

Once your assets are built, you can now go to http://localhost:30080, where you should see the Myddleware homescreen.

To connect to the MySQL database, use the following credentials :

• username : myddleware
• database : myddleware
• password : secret

Build the Myddleware image with Docker(developer's mode)

Build the container

If you choose to build Myddleware using Docker on its own, you will need to set up your database environment variables and connect Myddleware to it as this image doesn't provide a Myddleware database.

docker build . -t myddleware

Run

docker run -d -p 30080:80 myddleware

You can then access your Myddleware instance by going to http://localhost:30080/index.php

Setting up your Myddleware environment

At this stage, to set up Myddleware, you can either follow our installation wizard by going to your Myddleware URL or if you're comfortable with using a terminal, you can execute a series of commands.

Setup from the web browser

You need to go to the URL where Myddleware will be located, for instance : http://<yourdomain>.com/<myddlewarefolder>/myddleware/public/ From there, you need to click on "Install Myddleware" and follow the directions of the Installation Wizard.

Check requirements

Here, Myddleware will check whether your server meets all the requirements for Myddleware to be able to run (are there any missing PHP extensions ? are there any permissions issues ?)

Connect to your Myddleware database

Before proceeding to this step, please ensure you've already created the database you intend to use for Myddleware. Then you can fill in the form. Once you've saved & clicked next, Myddleware will attempt to connect to the database using the information you've provided. If there are any errors, a message will appear to let you know what went wrong. If everything is OK, you can continue to the next step.

Create your Myddleware admin user

Fill in the form to create your Myddleware credentials (email, username & password). Once this is done, you should be redirected to the Myddleware homepage.

Setup from a terminal

Create your environment file

At the root of your /myddleware directory, you need to create a .env.local file (it should be at the same level as the .env & .env.example files). If you've followed the installation from GitHub above, all you will need to do here is to fill in the .env.local file with the following information :

DATABASE_URL="mysql://username:password@host:port/dbname"
APP_ENV=prod
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_SECRET=ThisSecretIsNotSoSecretChangeIt
MAILER_URL=gmail://smtp.example.com:465?encryption=ssl&auth_mode=login&username=&password=

The DATABASE_URL variable will contain the values used by Myddleware to connect to your actual database, so you must replace each placeholder value with your credentials.

The MAILER_URL is optional. It is used by Myddleware to send you notification emails on some occasions such as when a task failed or some documents are in error. You need to configure it to match your SMTP server's credentials.
