README

SeAT-Info is a SeAT module that adds a small article systems for example as a corporation bulletin, or for explanations on how to use seat.

Usage

Editor

The editor supports a markup language that's kinda close to HTML, but not quite.

Please read the documentation.

Access Management

Access is managed on a per-article and per-resource level using roles provided by the seat core. This allows for automatisation over squads as it is normally known. Additionally, there are a few fixed permission related to creating/modifying articles and resources.

Installation

This plugin requires special installation steps, please read the whole installation section!

I can also recommend reading through the official seat documentation.

Docker Install

Open your .env file and edit the SEAT_PLUGINS variable to include the package.

# SeAT Plugins SEAT_PLUGINS=recursivetree/seat-info 

Now run

docker-compose up 

and the plugin should be installed

Barebone Install

In your seat directory:

sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'php artisan down' sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'composer require recursivetree/seat-info' sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'php artisan vendor:publish --force --all' sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'php artisan migrate' sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'php artisan seat:cache:clear' sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'php artisan config:cache' sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'php artisan route:cache' sudo -H -u www-data bash -c 'php artisan up' 

Changing the server settings

Per default, the configuration for the max allowed file size of php is rather low, meaning you can't upload big files in the resources tab. This step isn't necessary if you don't want to upload files above 2 MB.

Barebone

1. Open the /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini file, for example with nano:

   nano /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini 

2. Change this line

   upload_max_filesize = 2M 

   to

   upload_max_filesize = [the max size you want in megabytes]M 

3. Do the same for post_max_size, and if required for memory_limit. The value should be slightly larger than the value ofupload_max_filesize.
4. Save and exit
5. Reload the config with:

   service php7.3-fpm reload service nginx reload 

6. Reload the management page, and it should state a higher value as the limit.

Docker

1. Go to the directory with your docker-compose.yml file, per default /opt/seat-docker.
2. In this directory, create a new file seat_info.ini.
3. Put the following in the seat_info.ini file:

   ; Increase the maximum file upload size for the seat-info plugin upload_max_filesize = 40M ; increase this to a value larger than the largest file you intend to upload post_max_size = 41M ; must be larger than upload_max_filesize ;memory_limit = 512M ;you might need to increase this too if you have huge files, don't forget to uncomment 

4. Adjust the values as you like
5. Open the docker-compose.yml file and got to the front section
6. In there, add the following to the volumes section:

   - ./seat_info.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/seat_info.ini:ro 

   It should look something like this(details might differ):

   seat-web: image: eveseat/seat:4 restart: "no" command: web volumes: - ./packages:/var/www/seat/packages:ro # development only - ./seat_info.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/seat_info.ini:ro env_file: - .env ... 

7. Restart the container and reload the management page.

Upgrading

4.x -> 5.x

Seat 5 finally supports storing resource files persistently out of the box, but it also means we have to import them to the new system.

The following has to be run in your installation directory, per default /opt/seat-docker.

First, migrate to seat 5 as normal and start up the stack once. Stop it again using docker-compose down. This ensures that the new storage location has been created.

Run the following command:

docker volume ls | grep $(basename $(pwd))_seat-storage 

The output should look like this(the name might differ slightly):

local seat-dev-5_seat-storage 

If there is no output, please contact me on discord: recursive_tree#6692.

Next, run

docker run --rm -v $(basename $(pwd))_seat-storage:/storage -v $(pwd)/recursive_tree_info_module_resources:/backup ubuntu bash -c "cp -a /backup/. /storage/app/recursive_tree_info_module_resources/" 

If you changed the directory you store your resources in, you need to change the following part $(pwd)/recursive_tree_info_module_resources:/backup to /path/to/your/resource/location:/backup.

This creates a temporary container, adds both the old and new data storage and copies them over.

Restart the stack as usual with docker-compose up -d and your files should be back.

Donations

Donations are always welcome, although not required. If you end up using this module a lot, I'd appreciate a donation. You can give ISK or contract PLEX and Ships to recursivetree.

Development is supported by the eve partner program.
