Kanka is built to run on an Apache/Nginx and MariaDB stack. Community contributors have provided docker scripts to run with Kanka, but these aren't kept up to date and frequently stop working for users.
Support for Docker and Vagrant isn't provided by the Kanka core team, but you might be able to get help on the Kanka Discord's #development-talk channel.
You can run Kanka with docker.
You need docker installed on your machine.
Copy the docker env file and edit it to your needs (you can leave it as is), then copy it to the root of the project dir:
cp .docker/web/variables.env .env
nano .env
chmod -R a+w publicNext, Edit the docker-compose.ymlfile. Uncomment DB_CONNECTION,DB_DATABASE,DB_USERNAME, & DB_PASSWORD. Make sure they match the variables in.docker/web/variables.env`
nano docker-compose.ymlStart the containers with the following command:
docker-compose up --buildOpen the url http://localhost:8001 (8001 is the port by environment variable DOCKER_WEB_PORT).
We recommend always running from the master branch. You can check which branch you are on by going git branch in the kanka root folder on your machine (not in docker). If you want to test new features, you can use the develop branch, but it tends to come with bugs and errors, and potential loss of data.
When a new version of kanka is released, from your host machine you want to do git pull to get the newest updates. Updates usually include changes to the database, so run the following to run the migrations:
docker-composer php artisan run:migrationCommunity contributors have provided vagrant scripts to run with kanka, but these aren't kept up to date and frequently stop working for users.
Todo: someone to detail how to set it up?
