It's not recommended to run this application with public access. Ideally, run it on private network.

This is a basic Symfony PHP application and the requirements are:

• PHP >= 7.3
• BCMath PHP Extension
• Ctype PHP Extension
• Iconv PHP Extension
• JSON PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• Redis + PHP Extension

For Apache or Nginx, setup a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the project.

Make sure that var/ directory is writable by www-data user or the appropriate web server user.

Create .env.local with custom variables (how to and which is described in .env).

Configuration files are in config/packages/ directory (a specially: app.yaml, bird.yaml, cache.yaml). They could be rewritten with environment equivalents in dev/, prod/, test/ subdirectories.

You need to give the www-data user permission to run the birdc script. Add to /etc/sudoers:

www-data        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: /project_path/bin/birdc

The best way to install dependencies is using Composer and Yarn from project_path:

$ composer install
$ yarn install

And then build assets:

$ yarn build

For Commands List run from project_path:

$ php bin/console

Import invalid routes for all servers:

$ php bin/console app:import-invalid-routes

Or specifically for one server:

$ php bin/console app:import-server-invalid-routes nix-rs-1

Import filtered routes for all servers:

$ php bin/console app:import-filtered-routes

Or specifically for one server:

$ php bin/console app:import-server-filtered-routes nix-rs-1

For automation commands use:

$ crontab -u www-data -e

And add similar:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=""

# NIX/BirdSpy Invalid Routes
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /project_path/bin/console app:import-server-invalid-routes nix-rs-1 -q

# NIX/BirdSpy Filtered Routes
*/7 * * * * /usr/bin/php /project_path/bin/console app:import-server-filtered-routes nix-rs-1 -q

It's recommended, but not necessary to change time format to match BirdSpy looking glass:

timeformat base         iso long;
timeformat log          iso long;
timeformat protocol     iso long;
timeformat route        iso long;
