Installation

Installation is pretty simple and we have made it as automated as possible. Follow the steps below and you should be good to go.

1. Clone Repo

By executing the commands below you will install the software to /usr/local/webserver. You can change this path to whatever you like but for ease of use and for upgrading (below) we recommend sticking to this.

$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/webserver
$ sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local/webserver
$ cd /usr/local/webserver
$ git clone https://github.com/justinhartman/lamp-ssl.git .

2. Run Initial Homebrew Install

Running the ./brew command below will install Homebrew along with these core dependencies: httpd, php, mysql and wget. If you already have Homebrew installed you can skip the installation of this by answering N when the script prompts you to install Homebrew. If you do skip the Homebrew installation, please be sure to run the rest of script or else this software may end up not functioning correctly.

Open up a terminal and execute the following commands.

$ cd /usr/local/webserver
$ ./brew

3. Run Install Script

Once Homebrew and its dependencies have been installed you are ready to install the main software. Run the following commands and follow the prompts in order to complete the installation of this software.

$ cd /usr/local/webserver
$ sudo ./install

Usage

Once you have installed the software (see above) you are then able to add domains/projects via the command line. To add a new project/domain simply execute the following command via the terminal and follow the prompts:

$ cd /usr/local/webserver
$ sudo ./lamp-add

The lamp-add script will output everything you need to know about your newly configured domain/project.

Upgrades

There is an automated upgrade script that you can run which will keep all the software, including this repo and any linked third-party repos, up to date. Simply run the following command to upgrade the software:

$ cd /usr/local/webserver
$ sudo ./lamp-upgrade

Testing

Details of the testing available for this project are found below.

Coding Standards

We use the Google Shell Style Guide as the standard for writing our code. We use shellcheck to ensure our coding standards are adhered to.

To run shellcheck tests locally, execute the following command.

$ shellcheck -xa -e SC2154 tests/brew tests/install tests/lamp-add \
  tests/lamp-upgrade tests/scripts/*.sh

Bash Automated Testing System

The project uses Bash Automated Testing System for all automated shell script testing.

To run the BATS tests locally, execute the following commands.

$ cd ./tests # Tests must be run in this directory.
$ bats -t bats

NB: It is important to note that bats installs the software in macOS's $TMPDIR directory and then performs the tests from there. This is to avoid running tests on a production environment. If you need to change this path, or any other variables, please make changes to ./tests/bats/globals.bash and ./tests/bats/globals.bats accordingly.

Caveats

• BATS does not install brew. There would be too many conflicts in trying to install brew in an isolated environment so the brew.bats test always returns true on the brew_install() test.
• The other tests in brew.bats will try and install existing versions of the software on a machine that already has the packages installed. This doesn't cause any conflicts and shouldn't pose a problem on a machine already running brew packages.
• The domain name for the enter_domain.bats test is already preconfigured to www.test.localhost. This part of the script process normally relies on user input but as we can't use this the domain has been defined upfront.
• The tests in keychain_certificate.bats and setup_ssl.bats will add www.test.localhost to your macOS keychain. I don't know how to run this test successfully without running it on the default keychain.

Automated Testing

Remote testing is done using Travis CI. We test on all macOS software versions from 10.13 up to and including 10.15.
