Pibbble

Pibbble is a web application developed with the Laravel framework. It is a show and tell for developers who would like to showcase their side projects for fellow developers, investors and other software enthusiasts.

Pibbble is a community of developers where they can ask one another about what they are working on. They can talk about current work, challenges and help analyse each other's project.

Pibbble is a place to promote, discover, and explore web applications.

Running the Pibbble Application

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/andela/pibbble.git

Then enter into the directory

cd pibbble

Make sure you have composer installed and use it to install the project dependencies:

Setting Environment Variables for the Pibbble Application

After running the application on your machine, it is important to set up the environment variables.

This is done in the .env file which is in the root folder of the project.

Credentials for the database, mail service, cloudinary service and social login are in the .env file.

For the database, each of the following are supplied with corresponding values.

DB_HOST
DB_PORT
DB_DATABASE
DB_USERNAME
DB_PASSWORD

For the mail service, each of the following are also supplied with corresponding values.

MAIL_DRIVER
MAIL_HOST
MAIL_PORT
MAIL_USERNAME
MAIL_PASSWORD
MAIL_ENCRYPTION

For cloudinary service, each of the following are also supplied with corresponding values.

CLOUDINARY_API_KEY
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME

For login using Github and Facebook, the values for the following are needed.

GITHUB_ID
GITHUB_SECRET
GITHUB_URL

&

TWITTER_ID
TWITTER_SECRET
TWITTER_URL

To get up and running, we provide a database seed. To run this however, your environment should have a Postgres database. Setting up all these environments can be tricky, which is why we opted to use laravel\homestead instead.

If you are using laravel\homestead and have the necessary config:

vagrant up

Then ssh into the homestead box:

vagrant ssh

Database Seeding

The run the database seed in the project directory

php artisan db:seed

The application should be up and running. So entering pibbble.app/ into your browser brings up the application.
