# think.greaterchiangmai.com

Two Laravel 10 apps sharing one MySQL database (`greaterc_db2024`):

- `think.greaterchiangmai.com/` — public site
- `think-backend.greaterchiangmai.com/` — CMS (`/login`)
- `upload-large-file/` — standalone S3 multipart upload helper (Node)

## Local development

Requires [Nix](https://nixos.org) with flakes.

```sh
nix run                # installs vendors on first run, starts MariaDB, serves both apps; Ctrl-C stops all
```

- site: http://127.0.0.1:8000
- CMS:  http://127.0.0.1:8001

### Database

The schema is owned by the CMS: `think-backend.greaterchiangmai.com/database/migrations/`
(10 tables; no `category` table — `category_id` 1/2 is hardcoded). `dev db start` runs
`artisan migrate` there on every start, so a fresh checkout serves empty pages with no 500s.

`2025_11_03_000000_create_content_tables` is a baseline that reproduces the production
tables byte-for-byte (verified by diffing `mariadb-dump --no-data` against the prod export);
its creates are guarded with `Schema::hasTable`, so running `migrate` on production only
records it. Add new migrations in the backend for any schema change; the site app has none.

Real content: drop the production export at `.dev/greaterc_db2024.sql` (or the `.sql.zip`
phpMyAdmin produced — it's unzipped on demand; both are git-ignored). A fresh DB seeds
itself from it on first `nix run`; existing data is never overwritten on restart.

```sh
nix run . -- db reset                 # wipe + reseed from the dump (or empty schema if none)
nix run . -- db import other.sql      # load a different dump
DEV_DB_DUMP=/path/to/x.sql nix run    # use a dump elsewhere
```

`nix run . -- <cmd>` forwards to the `dev` script; `nix develop` drops you into a shell with
`dev`, `php`, `composer`, `mariadb`, `node` on PATH (direnv: `.envrc` → `use flake`).

Other commands: `dev db start|stop|status|shell|reset|import`, `dev serve frontend|backend`,
`dev artisan <app> ...`, `dev down`. See `dev help`.

The local DB listens on `127.0.0.1:3307` (override with `DEV_DB_PORT`); the `dev` script
injects `DB_*`, `APP_DEBUG=true`, `TEST_LOCAL=true` via the process environment so each
app's `.env` is left untouched. Ports: `DEV_FRONTEND_PORT`, `DEV_BACKEND_PORT`.
