# Install And Update
|
|
|
|
Provider Exchange is a Laravel application. A server install needs PHP-FPM, Nginx, Composer, Node/npm for asset builds, and a database.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Ubuntu Install
|
|
|
|
From a fresh Ubuntu host:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo APP_URL=https://example.com \
|
|
APP_DIR=/var/www/technical-services-exchange \
|
|
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jasonybird/technical-services-exchange/main/scripts/install-ubuntu.sh)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The installer defaults to SQLite for a small test deployment. For production, use MariaDB/MySQL or PostgreSQL and set the database values in `.env` before running migrations.
|
|
|
|
## Update Existing Install
|
|
|
|
From the app directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash scripts/update.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or from anywhere:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
APP_DIR=/var/www/technical-services-exchange bash /var/www/technical-services-exchange/scripts/update.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Important Notes
|
|
|
|
- The installer is a first-pass Ubuntu/Nginx helper, not a universal hosting panel installer.
|
|
- Local and CI test runners need PHP SQLite support: `pdo_sqlite` and `sqlite3`.
|
|
- Review `.env` before production use.
|
|
- Configure real mail before inviting users.
|
|
- Move sessions, cache, and queues to Redis before serious traffic.
|
|
- Move uploads to shared or object storage before multi-server deployment.
|
|
- Use a real database server before treating the platform as production data.
