README

Getting started

1. Download. Require wikimedia/excimer-ui-server from Packagist.org, or run composer install --prefer-stable --no-dev in this directory to fetch the dependencies.

2. Create database schema. We recommended creating a dedicated mysql user and database. Refer to tables.sql for the schema.

3. Expose public_html/ from a web server. Either as the document root for an entire domain, or from a subdirectory.

Configuration options

Prety URLs

When using choosing a subdirectory, we recommend using an Alias in your Apache httpd configuration. This produces URLs like https://perf.example/excimer/speedscope/

<VirtualHost *:80>
Alias /excimer /var/www/excimer-ui-server/public_html/index.php
</VirtualHost>

Alternatively, if you use the document root, or if you don't have root access to Apache httpd config (i.e. only .htaccess), then you can use a RewriteRule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/excimer/(.*)$ /excimer/index.php

Load config from /etc/

If you install Excimer UI from Git, you can place the configuration file at config/config.json, which is automatically discovered.

To read it from a custom location, set the EXCIMER_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. Example for Apache:

SetEnv EXCIMER_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/excimer-ui-server/config.json

Local development

This requires PHP 7.4+ and a MariaDB (or MySQL) server on localhost.

• Create database and user: mysql < install_dev.sql
• Create table from schema: mysql -D excimer < tables.sql
• Run composer serve

You can now access http://localhost:4000/index.php/speedscope/.
