Installation - As a standalone app
Coming soon...
This method is still under development
If you don't know Laravel, but have basic PHP knowledge and know how to deploy to a server, you can follow these instructions.
You can create a new Laravel application with Mixpost preinstalled using Composer.
Getting a license
In order to install Mixpost, you'll need to get a license first.
Creating the application
You can create the application with Mixpost pre-installed using this command
composer create-project inovector/MixpostProTeamApp
During the execution of this command, Composer will ask for a user and a password. The user is the email address of your mixpost.app account. The password is the key to your Mixpost license.
Configure the app URL
You will need to modify the value of the APP_URL in the .env
file to your project URL.
For example: APP_URL=https://your-domain.com
Configure the database
You will need to modify the values of the DB_* entries in the .env
file to make sure they are aligned with your database.
Then, run the migration to create all tables.
php artisan migrate
Configure Mixpost Package
This step is not mandatory.
If you have experience and want to explore more, you can publish the Mixpost config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=mixpost-config
Open the config file: config/mixpost.php
Server configuration (Manual)
Visit the UI
After performing all these steps, you should be able to visit the Mixpost UI at /mixpost.
Deploying to production
Caching Configuration
When deploying to production, you should make sure that you run the config:cache
command during your deployment process:
php artisan config:cache
Once the configuration has been cached, everything you change in the .env file will have no effect. To have an effect, you must repeat the execution of the cache command.
Caching Routes
To improve Mixpost application performance, run:
php artisan route:cache
Once the route has been cached, you have to repeat it every time you deploy/update/upgrade the Mixpost application.
