Use the following commands to create a new project:

composer create-project sumocoders/application-skeleton my_project
git init
git add .
git commit -n -m "Initial commit"

Start you project by running:

symfony server:start
npm run-script watch

Open deploy.php and check the configuration, replace the example values (prefixed with $) with correct values.

Try to deploy to staging by running:

symfony php vendor/bin/dep deploy staging

Log in thru ssh on the dev-server and alter the .env.local-file to use the correct credentials.

Each time something is merged into the staging branch it can be deployed automatically. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Open the project in Gitlab.
2. Open Settings → Repository → Deploy Keys.
3. Click the tab "Privately accessible deploy keys" and enable the key called "Sumo deploy user".
4. Open Settings → CI / CD → Variables.
5. Add a variable called SSH_PRIVATE_KEY, the value can be found in 1Password under "Sumo Deploy User private key". You can check the "Protect variable" flag.
6. Add a variable called SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS, the value should be the output of ssh-keyscan -H dev02.sumocoders.eu.
7. Open .gitlab-ci.yaml, scroll to Deploy - to staging.
8. Alter the url under environment → url.

Building assets:

# compile assets once
npm run-script dev

# or, recomile assets automatically when files change
npm run-script watch

# on deploy, create a production build
npm run-script build

For more information about Encore, see the official documentation.

There is a test-script scripts/test.sh which you can use:

COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 ./scripts/test.sh BRANCH-TO_TEST TARGETDIR

This will create a new project that uses the commited code in the selected branch. The new project will be located in the TARGETDIR
