Statamic 3 - highly extendable, standalone capable, Laravel CMS package

[warg]

Hello,

I just saw that Ghost, WordPress and Grav are supported, furthermore Kirby 3 being discussed. Thus I thought maybe Statamic 3 would be an idea as well. I have no experience with it but I thought about trying out Grav or Statamic 3 as they are quite similar to Kirby 3 and it might give some nice impressions to learn more like how other similar CMS' work.

@warg if it is composer, then maybe possible to try it out using a Cloudron LAMP app

On first reading, V3 is not available without a licence (but I didn't read very far).

[warg]

@timconsidine Yes, usually you have to pay (like Kirby 3) but there's also a free solo license, see https://statamic.com/pricing.

Maybe use these for installing in LAMP: https://statamic.dev/installing/docker

The "free" version actually already works on Cloudron from what I can tell so far (testing for a few days). I've had this setup for a bit and basically followed their installation using Composer. I'll work and try and post a how to sometime this weekend.

So this is the "quick and dirty" how to guide I've put together pretty quick. It should give you the basics to get everything running. I'm still working through a few minor issues -- such as installing addons (currently troubleshooting the composer "home" directory).

If anyone has any feedback let me know. I'll work on a polished article here in the next few days and run through another installation and get this updated.

1. To get started, install the LAMP app
2. After the LAMP app has installed, increase the memory on the app to 512mb / 1gb so that composer will run efficiently
3. Follow the guide posted on the Statamic Docs to install Statamic using Composer.
4. You will need to adjust the permissions on files and folders within the {project-directory} during the Statamic installation

chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/{project-directory}
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; 
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

5. You will need to update the .env file with the MySQL, Redis, and Mail user names, passwords, and server information.
6. After you have followed the above instructions, you will need to configure Apache to serve your updated "public" directory. Futher instructions can be found here.
7. For good measure, I restarted the app which seems to have solve a few minor issues.
8. After the restart, launch the terminal and cd to your Statamic directory and complete the following commands. If you need further information refer here.

cd /app/data/{project-directory} composer php please make:user

8. Update your healthcheck information by using the following information. I added the following to /app/data/{project-folder}/public/.htaccess

    # CloudronHealth Check
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} CloudronHealth
    RewriteRule ^ - [R=200]

9. Afterwards, you can login to https://{domain}/cp

For further information and resources, I would refer to the following articles:

• Cloudron Docs: Composer
• Cloudron Docs: Laravel

Update: Add COMPOSER_HOME=/app/data/{project-directory}/composer/bin to .env

Thanks for publishing this information/guide. Really appreciated. Sadly I can't try it out at the moment because I reached my max. app limit of 2 so first I need to evaluate my main goal and then I can try out other fancy/interesting apps. That's a bit ... pitty.

@warg you can by using the demo server. Just make sure to save progress frequently since many people use it.

@warg appreciate that you want to know this app will work before committing to Cloudron
but then do go and get a Cloudron subscription : it will save you time and therefore money, as well achieving more
after all, as you said, Statamic is not free,
