About LaraTracker

LaraTracker is a BitTorrent tracker TDD app written using Laravel.

Legacy code is any code without tests. Code without tests is bad code. It doesn't matter how well written it is; it doesn't matter how pretty or object-oriented or well-encapsulated it is. With tests, we can change the behavior of our code quickly and verifiably. Without them, we really don't know if our code is getting better or worse.

Docker setup for local development

Docker 18.06.0+

Docker-Compose 1.22.0+

0. Clone the project (note the --recursive flag)

   git clone --recursive git@github.com:X-Coder264/tracker.git

   (if you did not run clone with --resursive then run git submodule update --init docker/.dokman)

1. Install the project

   docker/install dev -v

2. Add tracker.loc mail.tracker.loc pointing to 127.0.0.1 to your /etc/hosts file.

3. You can now access the project on tracker.loc:8888 and Mailhog on mail.tracker.loc:8888. If you wish to change the default port create a new .env file in the docker folder and change the NGINX_HTTP_PORT to whatever port you want.

Note: All default values can be seen in the same docker folder in the .env.dist file. After changing any of these settings you'll need to rebuild your Docker images with docker/env dev build.

The docker/install dev command will automatically up your Docker containers, but you can up and down them later using these commands:

docker/env dev on

and

docker/env dev off

You can restart all containers in the dev environment with this command:

docker/env dev restart

You can enter a specific container using (example for the PHP container):

docker/enter dev:php

If you need to inspect the logs you can use the following commands:

docker/env dev logs php
docker/env dev logs nginx

If you want to for example run composer install in the dev environment on a fresh container you can use this command:

docker/run dev:php composer install

After that the freshly created container will be removed.

These are just the basics of what Dokman can do, for other features please check Dokman's documentation here.

By default you can use Xdebug on the project. All you have to do is configure it in PHPStorm. Put a breakpoint in some file where you want to debug and the first time you do this PHPStorm will tell you that the remote file path is not mapped to any file path in the project. You should map your local project folder to /app (in the Absolute path on the server column). This must be mapped because the paths in the Docker container and the paths on the local machine do not match.

You can also debug CLI scripts, for example:

docker/enter dev:php xdebug ./artisan peers:delete

If you want to run CLI scripts without debugging just ommit xdebug from the command.

At the moment there is only the dev environment in the Docker setup (as it can be seen in the docker/environments folder), but new environments can be easily added in the future.
