Mixpost Lite Install Guide for LAMP App

[jdaviescoates]

@humptydumpty it seems like a pretty decent app to me (certainly the best open source app of it's kind afaik) and the developer seems fairly responsive too.

It might never be packaged for Cloudron (which is sad) and hard to update when hack to runn on Cloudron as some have attempted, but it sounds like if one were just running it on a dedicated small VPS and installed it using Docker that it'd be pretty straight forward to update, at least according to the docs https://docs.inovector.com/books/mixpost-pro/page/update-with-docker

@jdaviescoates totally valid points but this app made me realize how much i prefer hosting the Cloudron way. I’ll drop any app/service in a heartbeat if it’s incompatible. I used to enjoy tinkering with tech but my interests changed in life. Cloudron simply works. Why mess with that?

Btw, the dev might be responsive but he wants things to work his way or the highway. I supported him financially and spent more time than I should have trying to get mixpost to work on here and to nudge the dev in the right direction to no avail.

@humptydumpty did you get an early adoptor lifetime license? Wanna sell it to me?

[humptydumpty]

@jdaviescoates yes I did! I’m planning on waiting about a year to see the app’s progress. If i decide that it’s not for me, the license is yours.

@humptydumpty fair enough, thanks!

After following steps I get this error when launching app: ERROR Command "artisan" is not defined
any idea how to fix it?

I found the solution, there were some typos:

Step 7, you should use:

#!/bin/bash

# Place custom startup commands here
sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /app/data/mixpostapp/artisan horizon

sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /app/data/mixpostapp/artisan queue:work --queue=high,standard,low --sleep=3 --tries=3 &

but now logs say:

=> Healtheck error: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED <ip_here>:80

where <ip_here> is my ip
does someone know what is happening?

[humptydumpty]

@reactive i think you need to cd into the mixpost app folder and then proceed with the install steps

Okay I managed to make it work, there was another typo in step 7, this is the correct script to make it work:

#!/bin/bash

# Place custom startup commands here
sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /app/data/mixpostapp/artisan horizon &

sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /app/data/mixpostapp/artisan queue:work --queue=high,standard,low --sleep=3 --tries=3 &

fyi I'm just using it in the cron section:

* * * * * cd .. && cd data/public/mixpost-enterprise-app && php artisan schedule:run >> /app/data/null 2>&1
@service cd .. && cd data/public/mixpost-enterprise-app && php artisan horizon
