v3 Status

Notice:

v3 is currently in Alpha developement. Thing change rapidly, and no update ability is available yet(you'd be stuck with composer for updates). If you need a stable release right now consider Pubvana v2. Thanks for considering Pubvana!

Prerequisites

  • PHP 8.2+ with required extensions
  • MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+
  • Composer (getcomposer.org)
  • A web server (Apache with mod_rewrite, or Nginx)

Create an empty MySQL database and a user with full privileges on it. You'll need the database name, username, and password for setup. Composer is optional in production builds (see Release Download .zip file).

Automated Installation

See the Pubvana Website for v2 web installer or v2 Docker Compose on Github.

Manual Installation (v3)

Production (clone and install): Browser and Docker based installers coming soon.

cd ~/public_html/
git clone https://github.com/Pubvana-CMS/pubvana.git .
composer install

Development:

git clone https://github.com/Pubvana-CMS/pubvana.git
cd pubvana
composer install

Configuration

Generate a session key if you don't have one (don't reuse keys):

php -r 'echo bin2hex(random_bytes(32));'

Copy the sample environment file and edit it:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env: At minimum, set these values:

APP_ENV=production
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_NAME=your_database_name
DB_USER=your_database_user
DB_PASS=your_database_password
SITE_URL=https://your-domain.com/
SESSION_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<64 hex characters>

Initialize the Database

php runway migrate:all

This runs the foundation packages (sessions, Shield, CSRF), core migrations, and every enabled plugin's migrations and seeds.

Create an Admin User

php runway shield:user create -n yourusername -e you@example.com
php runway shield:user password -e you@example.com
php runway shield:user addgroup -e you@example.com -g superadmin

Web Server

Point your web server to the public/ directory. If you use Apache or LiteSpeed, the included .htaccess handles clean URLs and security. For Nginx, add a location block that rewrites to public/index.php.

Log In

Visit https://your-server/auth/login and sign in with the admin credentials you created.

CLI Commands

Command Description
php runway migrate:all Run all pending migrations and seeds
php runway routes List all registered routes
php runway shield:user create -n <name> -e <email> Create a user
php runway shield:user password -e <email> Set a user's password
php runway shield:user addgroup -e <email> -g <group> Assign a user to a group
