Repositories :

Pura-Back-End uses two mysql databases :

the main one is pura-db
the second one is puralogin which takes care of username and passwords for the authentication on pura-back-end

You can see the schemas in the sql folder of this repository.

Here are the instructions to install the pura back-end. They have been tested on Ubuntu 18.04.

Clone repo

git clone git@github.com:swissbib/pura-backend.git

Create the 2 Databases based on the schemas in the sql directory.

Adapt the configuration to use the correct databases :

cd config/autoload
cp development.local.php.dist development.local.php

In development.local.php, update :

Install dependencies

composer install

Run with php development server

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public/ public/index.php

To enable Pura for a new library (let's say it has library code A999) :

Add a user for pura-back-end :

Use PHP interactive mode :

php -a

To encrypt the \'new_password_to_encrypt\'

> echo password_hash('new_password_to_encrypt', PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
> $21ruoigdyfhngfkjjThisIsTheEncryptedPassword

In the database

sudo mysql

use puralogin;
INSERT INTO `users` VALUES ('puraA999','$21ruoigdyfhngfkjjThisIsTheEncryptedPassword','A999');
