Usage in production

The master branch of this repository is a development branch and should not be used in production. Changes are merged into the release branch when they are considered stable and may then be tagged for release at any time. It is recommended that you use the latest tag release for production. For information on contributing see contribution guidelines.

Requirements

• PHP 5.5.9+ or newer
• A database, either MySQL or PostgreSQL are recommended but SQLite can be used
• Composer
• Redis
• Node.js
• A suitable queue for Laravel, Beanstalkd is recommended but Redis can also be used

Optional extras

• Supervisor to keep the queue listener and Node.js socket server running
• A caching server, unless you expect a lot of traffic the default file cache is probably enough
