Installation

Installation with Docker

This is only recommended to those who are familiar with Docker setups. It's recommended to use a reverse proxy, a Nginx instance is included in the example Docker compose file. You should configure the virtual hosts by yourself.

  1. Install Docker on your host: https://docs.docker.com/install/
  2. Install docker-compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
  3. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/bytefury/crater
  4. Go into the repo directory and deploy using example docker-compose setup:
$ cd crater
$ mv docker-compose.yaml.example docker-compose.yaml
$ docker-compose up -d
  1. You can check the logs with docker-compose logs
  2. Go to your crater domain and follow the installation wizard.
  3. For Database Name, Database Username, and Database Password, use crater.
    db for Database Host.

If you ever want to check the Laravel logs:

$ cd $(docker volume inspect --format '{{ .Mountpoint }}' crater_app)/storage/logs
$ ls
$ tail -n200 log_file_name.log
