[Part-DB-server] New Guide for Part-DB-Server or mixin with PartDB Guide

[sunflower-seed]

PartDB-Server is the new symfony based version of PartDB, which has already a guide in the Uberlab.

The new version offers several new features so it might be a good idea to add a second guide or update the current one.

You can also upgrade from an PartDB (legacy) installation - which i did on my uberspace. Therefore you can basically follow the upgrade guide

Currently i'm not able to work out a full text guide, maybe i'll do it in the future, but i will already note the (few) caveats here, if your are nosy.

TL;DR

You can basically run the Part-DB-server by their installation instruction.

You only have to replace the yarn install command with node --max_old_space_size=800 ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js

Step-by-Step in condensed version for Uberspace

• Download and unpack curl -L https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-server/archive/refs/tags/v1.2.0.tar.gz | tar -xzf - --strip-components=1
• Copy configuration file cp .env .env.local
• Edit configuration file
  • Change DATABASE_URL to mysql://isabell:password@127.0.0.1:3306/isabell_partdb?serverVersion=10.6.12 The server version can be gathered by calling mysql --version (Left the current value here for better understanding).
  • Change DEFAULT_LANG as needed
  • Change DEFAULT_URI to https://isabell.uber.space/
  • optional set SMTP Server (MAILER_DSN) smtp://isabell:password@host.uberspace.de:587
  • Change APP_SECRET to a new value, e.g. the output of hexdump -vn16 -e'4/4 "%08x" 1 "\n"' /dev/urandom I'm not sure if this is necessary
• Run composer composer install -o --no-dev
• Run yarn yarn install
• Run build node --max_old_space_size=800 ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js Just running yarn build would not work because an uberspace has a fixed memory limit. The current memory value of 800 worked for me, but may differ, depending on the amount of apps running on your uberspace.
• Run php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
• Change your domain symlink to public/ This is also known from other symfony based apps
• Edit public/.htaccess file and change FollowSymLinks to SymLinksIfOwnerMatch There are two occurrences in the file, keep in mind you change at least the one that is not commented out
• Recommendation: Limit access to installation by using .htaccess/authentication

@sunflower-seed is PartDB (legacy) completely obsolete or would there be some kind of benefit in keeping both guides? I see that you replaced the guide in your PR #1717, but mention adding a second guide in the description of this issue.

@SalocinHB According to the project site https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-legacy and the commits, there is no further development and the author calls it "deprecated".

In my personal opinion i would suggest to remove PartDB (legacy) now. This was unclear when i initially opened this issue.
