README

This backend will handle configuration files, font management and uploading files for the shirtnetwork designer. This backend is used for all implementations. Feel free to adapt this skeleton to your own needs.

❗ We recommend using the nodejs based version whenever possible

Installation

Use git to clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/aggrosoft/designer-backend-skeleton.git

Then install the dependencies using composer inside the created folder

composer install

Configuration

The repository comes with a config.inc.sample.php file, copy this file to config.inc.php and adjust it to your needs. If you do not copy the file before first request it will be created automatically. Files are stored in the var/ subfolders by default.

Point your webserver to serve the root of the application, it is pre configured to work with apache webserver. We recommend using a subdomain or a separate domain for the app e.g.: https://config.example.org

Usage

Depending on your consuming system you will need to configure upload and config urls. Use as following:

Upload Endpoint

https://config.example.org/files

Config Endpoint

https://config.example.org

Fire up the settings interface to define fonts:

https://config.example.org/settings/fonts

Security

❗ Be sure to add at least one user in the auth section of the config file, otherwise authentication is skipped and everybody will be able to modify your settings.

Also be sure to set allowed-origins in config.inc.php so only specific endpoints can upload files and configurations.

NGINX

You can use NGINX as a webserver, as the designer backend is a slim application you will have to configure NGINX as following

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    index index.php;
    error_log /path/to/example.error.log;
    access_log /path/to/example.access.log;
    root /path/to/public;

    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    }
}

❗ Since nginx will not route /config routes using this method you can rename config.inc.php to cfg.inc.php as a workaround. See the Slim v4 Documentation for further information. Contributions to improving the nginx config are very welcome.

Cron

To cleanup old uploaded files including their metadata the server ships with a symfony console command. Execute as following

bin/console uploads:cleanup

This will delete all files older than 30 days, if the file was manifested it is valid 3 years instead.

Updating

Similar to installing, if you did not change the skeleton do the following:

git pull
composer update

Omit git pull if you did any changes to the skeleton.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.

Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.
