Mautic EB

Deploy Mautic in a scalable Amazon Elastic Beanstalk cluster.

Mautic and AWS , _(*1)

The goal here is to make it simple and safe to scale Mautic up to millions of leads per week, while maintaining HIPAA & PCI compliance. Other helpful services such as CloudFlare and Newrelic are supported, but optional., _(*2)

Requirements

1) AWS EB environment running PHP 7.1 with environment variables described below 2) AWS RDS MySQL instance (Aurora recommended, preferably encrypted) 3) AWS EFS Volume (used for shared media/spool/etc) 4) Add the AmazonEC2ReadOnlyAccess policy to the aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role (for the cron script to run on leading instance only) 5) We recommend having the Elastic Beanstalk CLI installed locally., _(*3)

Travis CI Environment Variables

You will need to set these up if you wish to deploy your fork to an Elastic Beanstalk environment automatically from Travis., _(*4)

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY         - From your IAM console (keep hidden).

ELASTIC_BEANSTALK_DESCRIPTION - Description of the new version (optional). Defaults to the last commit message.

Mautic Customizations

File structure in /mautic_eb will be copied (destructively) into the /mautic folder on composer install or update. For configuration files and other changes that cannot be plugin-based. Similarly you can use /mautic_custom for customizations that are brand-specific. Third party plugins that use the "mautic-plugin" installer will have their folders symlinked into the correct location., _(*5)

mautic_eb/* --> mautic/*
mautic_custom/* --> mautic/*
plugins/* --> mautic/plugins/*

Custom dependencies can be included in a root composer.custom, _(*6)

Local setup

Pretty much the same as working with Mautic core:, _(*7)

Clone & composer:

git clone https://github.com/TheDMSGroup/mautic-eb.git
cd mautic-eb
composer install

Set up local host at http://mautic.loc that points to the .../mautic-eb/mautic sub-folder.
Browse to http://mautic.loc and go through the standard setup.

Traditional deployment (from local)

Should you not wish to use Travis to deploy for you, you can do it manually from your local machine:, _(*8)

Make sure you've set up the Requirements above.
run bash ./scripts/build.sh
run eb init if you haven't already.
run eb deploy

Local tips and commands

Important: Do not run composer install from within the ./mautic folder, only in the root project folder.
composer cc to clear all Mautic/Symfony caches.
composer custom to update symlinks for all customizations to mautic core (from mautic_eb and mautic_custom).
composer less to compile LESS styles (should you need to extend or modify the core styles using SCSS).
composer assets to regenerate core CSS and JS files for deployment (should you need to modify core JS or SCSS).
composer test to run the full codeception suite.
The file composer.custom can be created for third-party dependencies/plugins/customizations

Additional Plugins / Customizations

Need to process a million new contacts every day? Need to add a custom integration every day, without writing code?, _(*9)

These are the kinds of requirements we have in Performance Marketing. With that in mind, we include optional plugins to augment this build. You can access them all at once by renaming composer.custom.dev to composer.custom and running composer install., _(*10)
