Installation

1. Upload the admin package to your server and extract it into the domain's folder.
2. Point the domain's document root at the public folder.
3. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your database credentials and APP_URL (your full https domain).
4. Install dependencies and generate the application key (see the commands below).
5. Run the migrations and seed the starting data.
6. Link public storage and make storage and bootstrap/cache writable.
7. Open your domain in the browser and sign in with the admin account created by the seeder.

cp .env.example .env
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate --seed --force
php artisan storage:link
chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache

Database settings in .env

APP_URL=https://admin.yourdomain.com
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_database
DB_USERNAME=your_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_password

Scheduler and queue

Add a cron job that runs the Laravel scheduler every minute, and keep a queue worker running so emails and notifications are sent in the background.

* * * * * cd /path/to/admin && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

Important: Sign in as soon as the install finishes and change the default admin password immediately. Never leave the seeded password in place on a public server.
