Cachet

Cachet is a free and open source status page. It is a powerful and easy to manage service like Statuspage.io and Status.io

Documentation: https://docs.cachethq.io/docs/welcome

Demo: https://status.cachethq.io/

Installation

• Requires PHP5.5 or higher and the Composer package.
• Install Apache2 or Nginx.

 aptitude install apache2 mysql-server

Because Cachet needs PHP5.5 and Debian Wheezy only comes with 5.4 by default, we add the following to the source.list file:

 nano /etc/apt/source.list

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy all
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all

We load keys and update source.list and install the required packets.

wget http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg
apt-key add dotdeb.gpg
apt-get update
apt-get install php5 php-pear php5-mysql php5-mcrypt php5-apcu php5-cli php-db php5-intl php5-readline openssl

Enable the rewrite module for Apache.

 a2enmod rewrite

Restart the apache service:

 service apache2 restart

Install Composer

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Download the git (install git if you haven't) installation packet for the web directory:

apt-get install git-core
apt-get install vim
cd /var/www
git clone https://github.com/cachethq/Cachet.git
cd Cachet

Updating

Make a backup of the Cachet database and installation files (especially the .env file, which is the configuration file).

Remove old files and replace them with the new ones.

Run cachet in a directory:

 composer install --no-dev -o

  php artisan migrate

 chown www-data -R /cachet-dir

Configuration

Open .env.example and save it as a .env file. After this open the .env file and modify it.

APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=http://cachet.io.dev
APP_KEY=LWvqPaQWVeaBKc8yEYz6Z1xYe92lIFMQ

DB_DRIVER=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DATABASE=cachet
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

CACHE_DRIVER=apc
SESSION_DRIVER=apc
QUEUE_DRIVER=database

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ADDRESS=null
MAIL_NAME=null

Create a database for your server along with a user which Cachet can use.

Go to the Cachet directory and run the installation command

 composer install --no-dev -o

After this run the database migration command

  php artisan migrate

and generate a security key

 php artisan key:generate

Configure for instance Apache2:

  <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName cachet.dev # Or whatever you want to use
    ServerAlias cachet.dev # Make this the same as ServerName
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/Cachet/public"
    <Directory "/var/www/Cachet/public">
        Require all granted # Used by Apache 2.4
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

E-mail orders

E-mail orders can be enabled by adding MAIL_ADDRESS and MAIL_NAME to the .env file. For instance:

[email protected]
MAIL_NAME=Cachet HQ

After this go to the control panel and enable Allow people to signup to email notifications? which is is in the Application Setup settings menu.

Tämän jälkeen sinun tulee tyhjentää välimuisti:

 php artisan config:cache

Määritä croniin ajastus miten s.postit lähetetään, esimerkiksi 5min välein:

 */5 * * * * php /path/to/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
