How to create database ahead of time?

codefx9

I am working on a Docker image for Flarum. It have it mostly working. One issue is that I would like to create the DB ahead of time instead of on first run. This way, I can restart the container and still have everything work as is. My questions are:

How do I create db ahead of time?
Which files do I modify so that Flarum thinks that it does not need to create DB? (just config.php ?)

Thanks.

Check out the install files, they may be in flarum/flarum via Github. That should have the dB setup files and the calls to run them.

I have tried commands like,

php /var/www/flarum install --file=/var/db/flarum/config.yaml

I am getting exceptions

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Class flarum.config does not exist' in /var/www/vendor/illuminate/container/Container.php:741 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vendor/illuminate/container/Container.php(741): ReflectionClass->__construct('flarum.config') #1 /var/www/vendor/illuminate/container/Container.php(631): Illuminate\Container\Container->build('flarum.config', Array) #2 /var/www/vendor/flarum/core/src/Foundation/Application.php(486): Illuminate\Container\Container->make('flarum.config', Array) #3 /var/www/vendor/flarum/core/src/Console/Server.php(52): Flarum\Foundation\Application->make('flarum.config') #4 /var/www/vendor/flarum/core/src/Console/Server.php(26): Flarum\Console\Server->getConsoleApplication() #5 /var/www/flarum(18): Flarum\Console\Server->listen() #6 {main}

codefx9 To be honest, that stack trace looks like your flarum/core code is not quite up-to-date.

Most importantly, you need this commit.

Please make sure you're running the latest dev-master code.

Franz, I was using beta-5 release.
