Pullet

Pullet

A checkin platform that uses Open Data (mostly OpenStreetMap)
Status: very early alpha. I'm using this project to learn Laravel and get more familiar with OSM.

Requirements

Pullet is built with Laravel 5.1, which requires the following:

• PHP >= 5.5.9
• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension

You'll also need composer and nodejs to complete the installation.

Alternatively, you can use the Laravel Homestead virtual machine.

Database configuration

Only MariaDB (MySQL) has been tested.

1. Create a new database
2. Create a new user (or use an existing one) and give it access to the new DB
3. Rename .env.example to .env
4. Change the settings starting with "DB_" for your environment

App configuration

1. Download/clone this repository
2. In the root folder, run composer install
3. Run npm install -g gulp
4. Run npm install
5. Run gulp

Webserver configuration

You can find a nginx configuration sample file (nginx.conf.example) in this directory.
You'll need to change the server_name, and paths at the very least.
You'll probably want to setup HTTPS as well.

Contribute

As mentioned above, I'm using this to learn. If you'd like to learn with me (or teach me a thing or two), get in touch or just dive right in!

It's pretty obvious that I'm no designer, so if you can make things look good & usable and want to help out, definitely give me a shout! You don't need to know HTML/CSS; if you've got an image mockup I can implement it.
