Afterlogic Aurora

Aurora is a unified environment for common corporate tasks. With a single installation and a single interface you can focus on doing business, not solving puzzles of integration of different services.

Aurora includes Paranoid Encryption module which provides strong AES-256 browser-based encryption. When enabled, encryption process occurs right in the browser, file content is transmitted to the server in encrypted form only, encryption keys are never transmitted to the server at all. Thus, even if the entire data from the server was stolen, your encrypted data is still safe: any data on the server cannot help decrypt encrypted files without the keys.

Installation instructions

During installation process you will need:

• Git

• Composer

• Node.js + NPM

  Note! npm 3.0 or later is required

1. Download and unpack the latest version of Aurora Corporate into your installation root directory https://github.com/afterlogic/aurora-corporate-8/archive/latest.zip

We're assuming that you wish to install the latest stable version of the product. If you're looking for the latest code (e.g., to contribute changes), the following steps needs to be taken:

• Instead of unpacking the archive, clone the repository into the installation directory:

git clone https://github.com/afterlogic/aurora-corporate-8.git INSTALL_FOLDER_PATH

• change modules' versions in composer.json file to "dev-master"

1. composer.phar file is available in repository, but you can download its latest version 2 from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar

2. Start the composer installation process by running the following from the command line:

   php composer.phar install

   NB: It is strongly advised to run composer as non-root user. Otherwise, third-party scripts will be run with root permissions and composer issues a warning that it's not safe. We recommend running the script under the same user web server runs under.

3. Next, you need to build static files for the current module set. First of all, install all npm dependencies via

   npm install

   then install the dependencies required for adminpanel to work

   cd modules/AdminPanelWebclient/vue
   npm install
   npm install -g @quasar/cli

   or you can execute all the actions mentioned above by using the following command

   chmod +x builder.sh
   ./builder.sh -t npm
   

4. Now you can build static files. Run the following commands in main directory

   npm run styles:build --themes=Default,DefaultDark,DeepForest,Funny,Sand
   npm run js:build
   npm run js:min

   and build adminpanel

   cd modules/AdminPanelWebclient/vue
   npm run build-production

   or use all-in-one command

   ./builder.sh -t build
   

5. In case you want to use the product in development mode and work with JS, you need to run webpack dev server. But before that rename .env.dist to .env and specify the Web API host. For example, http://localhost/aurora/. Please note that if the backend responds on a domain other than localhost, you will have to specify custom headers in the index.php file to avoid CORS blocking cross-domain requests.

   Now you can run webpack dev server:

   npm run serve
   

   This will compile JS script files. If you need to work with CSS, you need to run the following command:

   npm run styles:watch --themes=Default,DefaultDark,DeepForest,Funny,Sand
   

   You can modify the themes list and specify the themes you are currently working with.

6. Now you are ready to open a URL pointing to the installation directory in your favorite web browser. Be sure to add /adminpanel/ to main URL to access admin interface.

7. Upon installing the product, you'll need to configure your installation.

IMPORTANT:

1. Make sure data directory is writable by the web server. For example:

   chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/webmail/data

2. It is strongly recommended to runs the product via https. If you run it via http, the majority of features will still be available, but some functionality aspects, such as authentication with Google account, won't work.

To enable automatic redirect from http to https, set RedirectToHttps to true in data/settings/config.json file.

Protecting data directory

All configuration files of the application and user data are stored in data directory, so it's important to protect data directory to make sure that nobody can access that directory over the Internet directly.
