🚀 Installation & Setup

Requirements

• PHP 8.1.12 or higher
• Composer 2.x
• MySQL / MariaDB
• Apache / Nginx with mod_rewrite enabled
• Docker Desktop, if using Docker

---

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/pulse-board.git
cd pulse-board

2. Run with Docker

Make sure Docker Desktop is running, then start the app:

docker compose up --build -d

Open the app at:

http://localhost:8080

The MySQL container is exposed on host port 3307. The pulseboard.sql dump is imported automatically the first time the database volume is created.

To stop the containers:

docker compose down

To reset the database and re-import pulseboard.sql:

docker compose down -v
docker compose up --build -d

3. Manual setup without Docker

Install dependencies

Run following command:

composer install

Configure environment

Copy env to .env or update app/Config/Database.php:

cp env .env

Update the following in .env:

CI_ENVIRONMENT = development

database.default.hostname = localhost
database.default.database = hackathonss
database.default.username = root
database.default.password = 
database.default.DBDriver = MySQLi

Import the database

mysql -u root -p hackathonss < pulseboard.sql

Start the development server

php spark serve
