Skylab is a 100% backwards compatible PHP port of the Python based hosting scripts used at Kunstmaan. By using the Cilex, Symfony Components and lot's of good code samples from the Composer project we hope to create an application where everyone in our organisation can work with, and if issues or new needed features should arise, be able to work on.

Skylab

Skylab is a 100% backwards compatible PHP port of the Python based hosting scripts used at Kunstmaan. By using the Cilex, Symfony Components and lots of good code samples from the Composer project we hope to create an application that everyone in our organisation can work with, and if issues or new needed features should arise, be able to work on., _(*1)

Kunstmaan wouldn't be Kunstmaan if we didn't open-source this, so here it is. MIT licensed., _(*2)

Installation

To install Skylab, run this command:, _(*3)

$ curl -sSL https://raw.github.com/Kunstmaan/skylab/master/installer | php

This will just check a few PHP settings and then download skylab.phar to your working directory. This file is the Skylab binary. It is a PHAR (PHP archive), which is an archive format for PHP which can be run on the command line, amongst other things., _(*4)

You can install Skylab to a specific directory by using the --install-dir option and providing a target directory (it can be an absolute or relative path):, _(*5)

$ curl -sSL https://raw.github.com/Kunstmaan/skylab/master/installer | php -- --install-dir=/bin

You can also install Skylab globally by running:, _(*6)

$ curl -sSL https://raw.github.com/Kunstmaan/skylab/master/installer | php
$ mv skylab.phar /usr/local/bin/skylab

Configuration

You can override the default configuration by creating a file /etc/skylab.yml and give it a secure chmod, _(*7)

sudo chmod 700 /etc/skylab.yml

For example if you installed skylab on a developer OSX machine:, _(*8)

users:
    wwwuser:        apache

webserver:
    engine: apache
    hostmachine: XXXXX.kunstmaan.be

mysql:
    user:     root
    password: XXXXXXXXX

postgresql:
    user:     postgres
    password: XXXXXXXXX

debug: true
develmode: true

Or on an ubuntu system:, _(*9)

users:
    wwwuser: www-data

webserver:
    engine: apache
    hostmachine: XXXXX.kunstmaan.be

mysql:
    user:     root
    password: XXXXXXXXX

postgresql:
    user:     postgres
    password: XXXXXXXXX

debug: true
develmode: true

Special Skeletons

SSL skeleton

The ssl skeleton can be used to configure the SSL configurations in apache via the config.xml, _(*10)

You start by adding <item value="ssl"/> to the skeletons in config.xml. Then you need to add <var name="project.sslConfig"> to the config.xml to configure the SSL configuration., _(*11)

You can specify different SSL configuration that has to be used per environment. The syntax for each environment is the same, _(*12)

<var name="{environment}">
  <dir value="{the location of the ssl files (cert, key, ca)}"/>
  <certFile value="{the name of the cert file}"/>
  <certKeyFile value="{the name of the key file}"/>
  <caCertFile value="{the name of the ca cert file}"/>
</var>

Example (we assume three environments (dev,staging,prod))., _(*13)

<var name="project.sslConfig">
    <var name="dev">
      <dir value="/home/myproject/ssl/dev/"/>
      <certFile value="myproject_dev_ssl.crt"/>
      <certKeyFile value="myproject_dev_ssl.key"/>
      <caCertFile value="myproject_dev_ssl.ca-bundle"/>
    </var>
    <var name="staging">
      <dir value="/home/myproject/ssl/staging/"/>
      <certFile value="myproject_staging_ssl.crt"/>
      <certKeyFile value="myproject_staging_ssl.key"/>
      <caCertFile value="myproject_staging_ssl.ca-bundle"/>
    </var>
    <var name="prod">
      <dir value="/home/myproject/ssl/prod/"/>
      <certFile value="myproject_prod_ssl.crt"/>
      <certKeyFile value="myproject_prod_ssl.key"/>
      <caCertFile value="myproject_prod_ssl.ca-bundle"/>
    </var>
  </var>

Which ssl configuration will be used depends on the value env in you skylab.yml file. Locally you should have env: dev in you skylab.yml configuration file. If you do then when running maintenance it will add the dev SSL config in apache., _(*14)

Letsencrypt skeleton

The letsencrypt skeleton can be used to generate ssl certificates for your site using the Let's Encrypt service., _(*15)

To enable the use of letsenecrypt you have to add <item value="letsenecrypt"/> to the config.xml., _(*16)

The skeleton will create a ssl certificate for the urls project.url and all the aliases in project.aliases., _(*17)

IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. The letsencrypt skeleton will run the command only on a production server. 1. Make sure the urls resolve to the IP where the command will run, otherwise it will fail. 1. You can use the ssl and letsencrypt skeletong together, BUT when enabling both the skeletons you must remove the prod ssl config. If the prod ssl config is available it will use that config instead of running letsencrypt. 1. The letsencrypt skeleton also creates a cronjob to renew the certs (e.g. 0 0 * * 0 letsencrypt --apache -n certonly -d myproject.com), _(*18)

Commands

NewProjectCommand

Usage: php skylab.phar new [--hideLogo] [--no-interactive] [--] [<name>], _(*19)

The new command creates a new project. It will setup the directory structure and apply the "base" skeleton which is responsible for setting up users, permissions and ownership., _(*20)
