🚀 Getting Started

To get started with Osclass, follow these easy steps:

---

1. Download the latest zip package of Osclass from GitHub Release and unpack it in your web-server root, i.e. public_html directory.
2. Execute the Osclass installation script by accessing index.php oc-includes/osclass/install.php from your browser:
   • If you’ve installed it in the domain’s root directory, you’ll have to go to: http://example.com/index.php or directly to http://example.com/oc-includes/osclass/install.php
   • If you’ve installed it in a subdirectory inside the domain, classifieds, for example, go to: http://example.com/classifieds/index.php or directly to http://example.com/classifieds/oc-includes/osclass/install.php
     This will lead you to osclass inbuilt installer.
3. Follow Osclass installer instructions:

   • Step 3.1

     
     Make sure the server has the required permissions to write in the files and directories specified. This will allow you to create a basic configuration file as well as upload images, documents, etc.

   • Step 3.2

     
     Add your access details to the database. If you haven’t created it yet, the installer will ask for another account with permissions that will allow to do it for you.

   • Step 3.3

     
     Add the basic installation details and select your classifieds site’s country.

   • Step 3.4

     Installation finished. Use the automatically-generated password to access your admin panel (example.com/oc-admin).

📚 How to get latest version of Osclass

Checkout our GitHub Release section to get latest version of osclass.

Do not use master branch for your deployment, it may include untested code. Only use zip file provided in our release section.

Run osclass locally using Docker

First Clone the repository and the submodules.

$> git clone --recursive [e-mail]:mindstellar/Osclass.git

Dependencies:

• Docker engine v1.13 or higher. Your OS provided package might be a little old, if you encounter problems, do upgrade. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation

Once you're done, simply cd to Osclass directory and run docker-compose up -d. This will initialise and start all the containers, then leave them running in the background.

• Services exposed outside your environment

  You can access your application via localhost, if you're running the containers directly. nginx and mailhog both respond to any hostname, in case you want to add your own hostname on your /etc/hosts

  Service	Address outside containers
  Webserver	localhost:5080
  PhpMyAdmin web interface	localhost:5800
  MySQL	host: localhost; port: 5306
  Mailhog web interface	localhost:5025

• Hosts for osclass docker environment

  You'll need to configure osclass to use enabled services:

  Service	Hostname	Port number
  php-fpm	php-fpm	9000
  MySQL	mysql	3306 (default)
  Memcached	memcached	11211 (default)
  SMTP (Mailhog)	mailhog	1025 (default)

• Docker compose cheatsheet

  Note: you need to cd first to where your docker-compose.yml file lives.

  • Start containers in the background: docker-compose up -d
  • Start containers on the foreground: docker-compose up. You will see a stream of logs for every container running.
  • Stop containers: docker-compose stop
  • Kill containers: docker-compose kill
  • View container logs: docker-compose logs
  • Execute command inside of container: docker-compose exec SERVICE_NAME COMMAND where COMMAND is whatever you want to run. Examples:
  • Shell into the PHP container, docker-compose exec php-fpm bash
  • Open a mysql shell, docker-compose exec mysql mysql -uroot -pCHOSEN_ROOT_PASSWORD
