<div class="post-content"><p>The official website of Laravel has already a <a href="https://laravel.com/docs/11.x">documentation</a> on howto install it on a Linux OS, but it requires to trust the installer script. This would have been run directly on the local machine without prior checking the contents and what is really done.
42+
Of course I manually checked the install script and did not like what I found. The installed elements would not be tracked by the package manager, it would install another certificate authority list for the local installation. Things I consider non-maintainable or unsafe. So I wanted to go another (more clean?) way on a Raspberry Pi.</p>
43+
44+
<ol>
45+
<li>First I needed to install the necessary tools using the commandline.
46+
<ul>
47+
<li>I wanted to use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">nginx</code> to serve the websites.</li>
48+
<li>I wanted to use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">php-fpm</code> because it is faster than the apache and/or cgi combinations. And of course because it runs on a Raspberry Pi.</li>
49+
<li>I needed <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">composer</code> for php packages.</li>
50+
</ul>
51+
52+
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>aptitude <span class="nb">install </span>nginx php-fpm composer

54+
</li>
55+
<li>
56+
<p>I then configured nginx to serve a new site by adding a file <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/etc/nginx/sites-available/laravel-www</code>:</p>
57+

<div class="language-nginx highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="k">server</span> <span class="p">{</span>

</code></pre></div> </div>
85+
<p>This already contains the necessary parts for serving on a HTTP server (no SSL here at the moment!) using the installed PHP version.
86+
I used the version-free <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">php-fpm</code> symlink so updating/changing to another PHP version is easier later.</p>
87+
</li>
88+
<li>The site was then activated to be served already, as it was not public on the internet:
89+
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nb">ln</span> <span class="nt">-s</span> /etc/nginx/sites-available/laravel-www /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/laravel-www
90+
nginx <span class="nt">-s</span> reload
91+
</code></pre></div> </div>
92+
</li>
93+
<li>Now I used <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">composer</code> to get the basic laravel installation:
94+
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nb">cd</span> /var/www/
95+
<span class="nb">mkdir </span>laravel-www
96+
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-www
97+
</code></pre></div> </div>
98+
</li>
99+
<li>For the installation to work, I needed to setup some access rights, as <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">nginx</code> is running as <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">www-data</code> user:
100+
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nb">chown</span> <span class="nt">-R</span> www-data.www-data /var/www/laravel-www
101+
</code></pre></div> </div>
102+
</li>
103+
<li>For the Laravel project itself, my first start should used the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">sqlite</code> database to just show that the laravel part is working. So I initialized it using the default configurations in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/var/www/laravel-www/.env</code> file via:
104+
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nb">cd</span> /var/www/laravel-www
105+
php artisan migrate
106+
</code></pre></div> </div>
107+
</li>
108+
<li>Now I had the basic laravel project up and running (For later reference: Laravel v11.41.3 (PHP v8.2.7))</li>
