If you've run across a bug or have a feature request, open a GitHub issue for it.
For quick fixes, go ahead and submit a pull request!
For larger features, it's best to open a ticket before sinking a ton of work
into building them, to coordinate with Pony.fm's maintainers.
# Starting a dev environment
To begin development, you must do three things:
1. Install the `vagrant-hostmanager` plugin: `vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager`
2. Install the `vagrant-bindfs` plugin: `vagrant plugin install vagrant-bindfs`
3. Create the directory `pony.fm.files` in the repository's parent directory
4. Run `vagrant up` from the folder in which you cloned the repository
5. Run `vagrant ssh`, `cd /vagrant`, and `php artisan poni:setup`.
6. Follow the instructions in the "Asset pipeline" section below to set that up.
Once everything is up and running, you'll be able to access the site at [http://ponyfm-dev.poni/](http://ponyfm-dev.poni/). You can access the MySQL database by logging into **192.168.33.11:3306** with the username **homestead** and the password **secret**. Pony.fm's database is named **homestead**.
# Asset pipeline
Pony.fm uses [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) to mange its asset pipeline.
**Important:** Run `npm` and `gulp` from your host machine and not within the VM. You must first have it installed globally:
npm install -g gulp
And then install all of the required local packages by invoking:
npm install
Finally, build all of the scripts by executing:
gulp build
During development, you should make a point to run "gulp watch". You can do this simply by executing:
gulp watch
This will watch and compile the `.less` and `.coffee` files in real time.
# Configuring the servers
Pony.fm uses nginx, php-fpm, redis, and MySQL. You can modify the configuration of these services by locating the appropriate config file in the `vagrant` folder. Once modified, you must reload the configuration by running the appropriate shell script (`reload-config.sh`) or bat files (`reload-config.bat` and `reload-config.vmware.bat`). These scripts simply tell Vagrant to run `copy-and-restart-config.sh` on the VM.
If you need to change any other configuration file on the VM - copy the entire file over into the vagrant folder, make your changes, and update the `copy-and-restart-config.sh` script to copy the modified config back into the proper folder. All potential configuration requirements should be represented in the `vagrant` folder **and never only on the VM itself** as changes will not be preserved.
**NOTE:** currently, Redis's configuration is not reloaded by the `copy-and-restart-config.sh`
