    So I've got this running in a LAMP App, but there are some scenarios to keep in mind:

    • Both services listed for the "automation" portion of imports (Spectre and Nordigen/ seem to be most other countries, except the United States

    • There doesn't seem to be an authentication gateway to prevent "public" access and your Personal Access Token is embedded in the .env file.

    @girish, @nebulon or others might be able to provide more information if we can place the Cloudron Auth gateway similar to what is used for the Firefly App.

    NOTE: This was a quick run at getting this up and running, so ensure you review your configuration properly.


    Instructions for Installing the Data Importer Application

    1. Install a fresh LAMP App from the Cloudron Store.

      • I typically disable indexing via App > Security.
    2. Open the file manager and open the PHP_VERSION file and change the value to PHP 8.2:

    ; Set the desired PHP version in this file
    ; Restart app for changes to take effect
    PHP_VERSION=8.2
    
    1. Save your file and restart the LAMP App.
    2. Launch the terminal and complete the following commands:
    cd /app/data/
    composer create-project firefly-iii/data-importer
    
    1. Stay in the Terminal and next you'll want to make sure the permissions are correct by running the following commands:
    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/data-importer
    sudo chmod -R 775 /app/data/data-importer/storage
    
    1. Next, you're going to need to update your Apache configuration to point from the default /app/data/public/ folder to /app/data/data-importer/public/. Open /app/data/apache/app.conf and update the following lines:

    FROM
    Find the lines that have the previous public route of /app/data/public and change them to /app/data/data-importer/public.

    • For good measure, I would disable phpMyAdmin also in the apache.conf file:
      # Include "/app/code/apache/phpmyadmin.conf"
    1. Restart the LAMP App

    2. Launch the file manager and go to /app/data/data-importer and open the .env file and update the file as required.

      • Sample .env: Link to copy of sample env. You can also find the values required to be changed below.
      • Personal Access Token: You're going to need to generate a Personal Access Token from Firefly at: https://firefly.domain.tld/profile > OAUTH > Personal Token
    FIREFLY_III_URL={https://firefly.domain.tld}
    VANITY_URL={https://firefly.domain.tld}
    FIREFLY_III_ACCESS_TOKEN={ACCESS-TOKEN}
    AUTO_IMPORT_SECRET={GENERATED_SECRET}
    TZ={America/New_York}
    ENABLE_MAIL_REPORT=false
    MAIL_DESTINATION={EMAIL-ADDRESS}
    MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=getenv('CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM')
    MAIL_HOST=getenv('CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_SERVER')
    MAIL_PORT=getenv('CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PORT') 
    MAIL_USERNAME=getenv('CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME')
    MAIL_PASSWORD=getenv('CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD')
    MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
    REDIS_HOST=getenv('CLOUDRON_REDIS_HOST')
    REDIS_PASSWORD=etenv('CLOUDRON_REDIS_PASSWORD')
    REDIS_PORT=getenv('CLOUDRON_REDIS_PORT')
    
    1. Restart the LAMP App and you can access the interface at: https://firefly-importer.domain.tld

    If anyone has any feedback or sees that I missed anything please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Many thanks for this, very helpful !
    However after doing all this configuration, I cannot access to the data-importer at https://firefly-importer.{my-domain.tld} I have a DNS error.

    I don't see in the .env where the URL is set ? Also, I guess I need to create manually add an entry to my DNS record for the firefly-importer sub domain ?

      @cylon Did you update the app "public route" in your Apache configuration from /app/data/public to /app/data/data-importer/public and restart the app? You'll also want to double check the permissions:

      sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/data-importer
      sudo chmod -R 775 /app/data/data-importer/storage
      

      The DNS is handled by the LAMP app from the settings you chose when you deployed the app.

                @dadams-AU More than likely along the lines of what @robi said.

                You'll need to retrace your steps and ensure you completed the configuration change in the public routes in /app/data/apache/app.conf and ensure that you set the permissions correctly using:

                sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/data-importer
                sudo chmod -R 775 /app/data/data-importer/storage
                

                If you haven't restarted the LAMP app, you'll need to do that before all of the previous settings work correctly.

                  Hello all!
                  I am following this tutorial but apparently, recent versions of the data importer tool require PHP 8.3 which isn't supported by the LAMP app. Any workarounds?

                  Thank you
