box, by Hyperf

Box is committed to helping improve the programming experience of PHP applications, expecially for Hyperf, managing the PHP environment and related dependencies, providing the ability to package PHP applications as binary programs, and also providing reverse proxy services for managing and deploying Swoole/Swow applications.

This is still an early experimental version, have fun ~

Usage

Install box

Mac

wget https://github.com/hyperf/box/releases/download/v0.5.5/box_x86_64_macos -O box
sudo mv ./box /usr/local/bin/box
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/box
// Make sure /usr/local/bin/box in your $PATH env, or put `box` into any path in $PATH env that you want

Linux x86_64

wget https://github.com/hyperf/box/releases/download/v0.5.5/box_x86_64_linux -O box
sudo mv ./box /usr/local/bin/box
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/box
// Make sure /usr/local/bin/box in your $PATH env, or put `box` into any path in $PATH env that you want

Linux aarch64

At present, we are short of AARCH64 Github Actions Runner, so we cannot timely construct the bin file of AARCH64 version.

wget https://github.com/hyperf/box/releases/download/v0.0.3/box_php8.1_aarch64_linux -O box
sudo mv ./box /usr/local/bin/box
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/box
// Make sure /usr/local/bin/box in your $PATH env, or put `box` into any path in $PATH env that you want

Windows

curl -o box.exe https://github.com/hyperf/box/releases/download/v0.5.5/box_x64_windows.exe
// Put `box.exe` into any path in $PATH env that you want, and use `box.exe` instead of `box` when executing on Windows

Init Github Access Token

Box needs a Github Access Token to request github api, to retrieve the versions of the package.

1. Create Github Access Token， the workflow scope have to be selected.
2. Run box config set github.access-token <Your Token> to init the token.
3. Have fun ~

Setting the Box Kernel

By default, Box is supported by Swow Kernel, but we also provide Swoole Kernel, you can switch to Swoole Kernel by box config set kernel swoole, but it should be noted that Swoole Kernel only supports PHP 8.1 version, and The Build Binaries feature and Windows Systems are not supported.

// set to Swow Kernel [default]
box config set kernel swow

// set to Swoole Kernel (NOT supported on Windows)
box config set kernel swoole
