Tech Stack

Layer	Technology
Framework	Laravel 12
Admin UI	FilamentPHP v5
Modules	nWidart/laravel-modules v11
Auth/Roles	Spatie Laravel Permission
Frontend	Blade + TailwindCSS + Vite
Database	PostgreSQL (required for demo mode)
Cache/Queue	Database or Redis

Quick Start (Docker)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/openclassify/openclassify.git
cd openclassify

# Copy environment file
cp .env.example .env

# Start with Docker Compose (production-like)
docker compose up -d

# The application will be available at http://localhost:8000

Default Accounts

Role	Email	Password
Admin	a@a.com	236330
Member	b@b.com	36330

These accounts are seeded by Modules\User\Database\Seeders\AuthUserSeeder. In demo mode, demo preparation still auto-logs the visitor into the schema-local admin account.

Admin Panel: http://localhost:8000/admin Frontend Panel: http://localhost:8000/panel

Development Setup

Option 1: GitHub Codespaces (Zero Config)

1. Click Code → Codespaces → New codespace on GitHub
2. Wait for the environment to build (~2 minutes)
3. The app starts automatically at port 8000

Option 2: Docker Development

# Start development environment with hot reload
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d

# View logs
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs -f app

Option 3: Local (PHP + Node)

Requirements: PHP 8.2+, Composer, Node 18+, PostgreSQL for demo mode

# Install dependencies
composer install
npm install

# Setup environment
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

# Database (SQLite for quick start)
touch database/database.sqlite
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed

# Start all services (server + queue + vite)
composer run dev

Demo Mode

Demo mode is designed for isolated visitor sessions. When enabled, each visitor can provision a private temporary marketplace backed by its own PostgreSQL schema.

Requirements

• DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
• DEMO=1
• database-backed session / cache / queue drivers are supported and will stay on the public schema via pgsql_public

If DEMO=1 is set while the app is not using PostgreSQL, the application fails fast during boot.

Runtime Behavior

• On the first guest homepage visit, the primary visible CTA is a single large Prepare Demo button.
• The homepage shows how long the temporary demo will live before automatic deletion.
• Clicking Prepare Demo provisions a visitor-specific schema, runs migrate and db:seed, and logs the visitor into the seeded admin account.
• The same browser reuses its active demo instead of creating duplicate schemas.
• Demo lifetime defaults to 360 minutes from explicit prepare / reopen time.
• Expired demos are removed by demo:cleanup, which is scheduled hourly.

Environment

DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DEMO=1
DEMO_TTL_MINUTES=360
DEMO_SCHEMA_PREFIX=demo_
DEMO_COOKIE_NAME=oc2_demo
DEMO_LOGIN_EMAIL=a@a.com
DEMO_PUBLIC_SCHEMA=public

Commands

php artisan migrate --force
php artisan db:seed --force
php artisan demo:prepare
php artisan demo:cleanup

Panels

Panel	URL	Access
Admin	/admin	Users with admin role
Frontend Panel	/panel	All authenticated users

Roles (Spatie Permission)

Role	Access
admin	Full admin panel access
