How to Run​

  1. To start Apache, PHP-FPM, and Postgres in the background, run devbox service start.
  2. Once the services are running, you can start your shell using devbox shell. This will also initialize your database by running initdb in the init hook.
  3. Create the database and load the test data by using devbox run create_db.
  4. You can now test the app using localhost:8080 to hit the Apache Server. If you want Apache to listen on a different port, you can change the HTTPD_PORT environment variable in the Devbox init_hook.
