4. Install npm dependencies

./vendor/bin/sail npm ci

5. Build the frontend

Deployment

The fastest way to deploy Website Factory is by using our first-party Docker image.

Prerequisites

Generate an application key

Before deploying Website Factory, make sure you generate a valid application key. If you are not sure what an application key is, you can read more about it here: APP_KEY And You blog post on Tighten's website.

To generate an application key, you can run the following command in your terminal.

docker run --rm -it code4romania/website-factory php artisan key:generate --show

The generated application key will look like this:

base64:yEtz1eacKMwq0iVT5BUjMMvcn4OAD7QpCgz1yDoXroE=

Running the image

Download the example docker-compose.yml and configure the environment variables. Here's where you use the APP_KEY generated earlier. After you're done, save the file and run it with:

docker-compose up -d

You should now be able to access your instance admin area by visiting <your-ip>:8080/admin and logging in with the ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD you specified in the configuration.
