OrgManager

OrgManager takes Github Organization invites to a new level! Read more about OrgManager on Medium.

Hosted version

Not everyone can afford a server, nor do they have the skills to set up a modern PHP application, so OrgManager provides a hosted version you can use for FREE. You can access the hosted version at https://orgmanager.miguelpiedrafita.com. In return, please report any bugs you encounter, so we can continue improving!

On joining the OrgManager Github organization

As you may have guessed, you can use OrgManager to join the OrgManager organization.

Development version

These instructions will get you the beta version of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

To install OrgManager you'll need:

• A web server of your choice - (We recommend hotel, as it is easy to setup and doesn't require any configuration.)
• PHP - (At least v5.6.4, although v7.* is recommended. Installing PHP)
• Some PHP libraries - (OpenSSL, PDO, Mbstring, Tokenizer, XML) (Google is your friend 😄)
• Composer - (Install Composer)
• MySQL database - (You can get one online for free)
• Git - (Install GIT)

Installing

Now that you've verified that you have that, let's start...

1. Download beta version (Just clone the master branch)

Just open your terminal/console and run

git clone https://github.com/orgmanager/orgmanager

and you'll have the beta version on your new orgmanager folder.

2. Add OrgManager to your server.

Just google instructions for your server. If you're using hotel, just open the OrgManager folder with the terminal/console and run

hotel add 'php artisan serve --port $PORT'

Now, if you configured custom domains, you can now access orgmanager.{yourtld}. If you didn't, access localhost:2000 and click OrgManager. Yeah, it should be showing that huge error, don't worry 😄

3. Setup .env

Copy the .env.example file to a .env file. Open the .env file with your favorite text editor/IDE and fill the database, reCaptcha and GitHub settings. (You can leave the rest as they are)

4. Finish the setup

Open the OrgManager folder with the terminal/console and run

php artisan key:generate && php artisan migrate

5. Done!

You have now the OrgManager beta version up an running in your server! (Note that OrgManager is not auto-updated, read the updating section for more info).

Testing

We use the Laravel testing functionalities and PHPUnit to add automated testing to OrgManager.

Setting up the testing enviroment

By default, the tests will run in a special database called orgmanager_test in localhost with username root and password root. If you need to change this, edit the .env.testing file. This is an example of a customized .env.testing file:

APP_ENV=testing
APP_KEY=base64:GIkaQ57IIVtTeTQOIh7eAFo1FAcoWkfwYPkfcOyusW4=

DB_CONNECTION=travis

DB_TEST_HOST=database_host
DB_TEST_DATABASE=database_name
DB_TEST_USERNAME=database_username
DB_TEST_PASSWORD=database_password

CACHE_DRIVER=array
SESSION_DRIVER=array
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync

Once you've customized your .env.testing file, you have to migrate the database to your test database. You can do this by running php artisan migrate --env=testing.

To run the tests, just run composer test.
