GitHub - peon-dev/peon: Save time by delegating work to your new virtual colleague

Development

For development, clone repository and run it via docker-compose up

When running for the first time, user will be automatically created for you, with username and password peon.

To get into Docker container (etc for development or debugging):

docker-compose run --rm dashboard bash

Testing

vendor/bin/phpunit (in PHP container)
or docker-compose run --rm dashboard vendor/bin/phpunit outside of container.

To run application tests, webpack must be built: yarn install && yarn run dev
If you are using Docker for development, this is take care of already by js-watch service.

In order to run end-to-end tests, you need to create .env.test.local and provide variable values there (see .env.test for list of variables).

Xdebug

Xdebug extension is installed and enabled. If you need to overwrite defaults, please set PEON_XDEBUG_CONFIG which gets propagated into XDEBUG_CONFIG variable. Read more in the xdebug documentation:

export SHARRY_XDEBUG_CONFIG="client_host=localhost log=/tmp/xdebug.log"

Production use

Peon is available as Docker image: ghcr.io/peon-dev/peon

Inspiration for docker-compose.yml:

version: "3.7"

volumes:
    unit-state:
    postgres-data:

            - caddy_config:/config
        ports:
            - "8081:80"

Then run docker-compose up

It is recommended to set up daily cron that will pull newer Docker images:

0 0 * * *    docker-compose -f /path/to/docker-compose.yml pull

It is good idea to restart containers after pulling new image as well.

Troubleshooting

Process failing with docker permission error:

docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/create": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.
See 'docker run --help'.

Possible fix:

Check out who owns the Docker socket, for example by running ls -l /var/run/docker.sock and set the group id to the worker process:

Overwrite worker service group/user in docker-compose.override.yml:

version: "3.7"
services:
    worker:
        user: "peon:<docker group id or name>"
        
        # in safe environment, you can use root user
        # be aware of it can mess with ownership of the peon source code (for example cache files owned by root)
        user: "root"
