Installation on Raspbian 10 buster (nginx + php7.3)

PiGardenWeb is an web application based on Laravel, Backpack and piGarden. To work on your Rasperry Pi, it needs php 7.1.3, nginx web server and other packages.

1. Installs the necessary packages on your terminal:

   sudo apt install nginx php-fpm php-cli php-mcrypt php-sqlite3 git

2. Configure php: modify the file /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini, search and uncomment the line with cgi.fix_pathinfo and assigned the value zero:

   cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

3. Enable php modules:

   sudo phpenmod sqlite3

4. Download piGardenWeb in your home:

   cd
   git clone https://github.com/lejubila/piGardenWeb.git

5. Configure nginx with the configuration file present in piGardenWeb and personalize it if necessary:

   cd
   sudo cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/default.original
   sudo cp piGardenWeb/virtualhost/nginx/default-php7.3 /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

6. Configure piGardenWeb

   • Create configuration file .env

     cd 
     cd piGardenWeb
     cp .env.example .env

   • Create sqlite and initialize database, generate application key, assign owner and permission

     touch database/piGarden.sqlite
     php7.3 artisan key:generate
     php7.3 artisan migrate
     php7.3 artisan db:seed
     sudo chown -R pi:www-data /home/pi/piGardenWeb/
     sudo chmod -R g+w storage database database/piGarden.sqlite

   • Modify .env to your liking

7. Start nginx web server

   sudo systemctl restart nginx

8. Install piGarden script and start socket_server (skip this point if you have already installed the pigarden on your Raspberry Pi):

   • Download and install piGarden script in your home, see github.com/lejubila/piGarden
   • Start piGarden socket server

     cd
     cd piGarden
     ./piGarden start_socket_server force

9. Remove piGarden crontab scheduling if already present (skip this point if you have NOT already installed the pigarden on your raspberry pi)

10. Open your browser on http://ip_address_of_your_raspberry_pi and register your user.

11. Sign in to piGardenWeb with the newly created user

12. Goto in to menu "Users, Roles, Perm / Users" and assign admin role to your user

13. Perform the initial setup from the menu "SETUP / Initial setup"

14. Now you can disable open registration by editing the .env file and setting REGISTRATION_OPEN with the value "false". Also disable ALLOW_MANAGE_USER and ALLOW_MANAGE_ROLE_AND_PERMISSION. You can also change the language of the interface (LOCALE = en / it) and smtp parameters for sending email notifications to reset the user password.
