Installation

Step 1

Setup your Laravel ^7.2 application as required. Then run the command:

Composer require duncanrmorris/backupmodle

This will then download and install the package.

Step 2

Update your ./config/app.php file to include the new providers:

 'providers' => [

        /*
         * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
         */
        Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
        Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastServiceProvider::class,
        Illuminate\Bus\BusServiceProvider::class,
        ///
        duncanrmorris\backupmodule\BackupServiceProvider::class,

Step 3

Once the composer has completed the download and installation, you need to run:

php artisan migrate

This will now create the required database tables.

Step 4

Setup the navigation to acccess the new module. Within the ./resources/views/layout/app.balde.php add the link for left navigatio:

<li class="nav-item"><a href="/backup" class="nav-link">Backup Module</a></li>

Or use the href "/backup" in your app design as required.

Step 5

Insert your AWS s3 storage details in the ".env" file:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=eu-central-1
AWS_BUCKET=

You will be able to obtain these information from your Amazon account. From within the IAM module -> Users -> Username -> Security Key:

duncanrmorris / backupmodule
