000webhost flarum installer

ChristopherKhawand

I am working on an installer that does not require SSH access for 000webhost compatibility, is that ok?
The installation is a 10KB file, that installs flarum, to their app.

Because Flarum is MIT licensed, you are allowed to redistribute files and modify them, yes. Significant modifications would probably make your version a fork and require a name change, but as long as you're only looking to modify the installation method it should be fine.

Do note that others have already adapted Flarum for non-SSH installation. Check out Pockethold and other tutorials on the subject. You may not need to adapt Flarum yourself.

I am adapting flarum to the whole 000webhost community, because we have limitations there

And, pockethold just isn't working with it...

I got pockethold working on 000webhost earlier in pocketholds development, but that was on a newly registered account without any other use.

The inode limitations seems to be the limiter for a long time solution.

With only flarum installed, I get this message from them weekly:

Currently your website is using 100% of allowed resources (20000 out of 20000).

That said, I am very interested in seeing what you come up with! ?
Do you have, or plan to have a github repo or similar for the project?

ChristopherKhawand

Yes, will create a git repository when I am done with creating the project ?

ChristopherKhawand

Oh and, the installer is a 29KB file ?
No need for SSH.
All plugins pre-installed ?

The process is easier than the official installation, and comes with all the plugins disabled.
