To run the local development server, try:

export PHP_ENV=prod && php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t .

To make requests with cURL, try:

curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8000/old-home

Running with Docker

docker compose up -d --build

This starts two services:

• app — nginx + php-fpm, served at http://localhost:8080
• db — MySQL 8, exposed on host port 33060 (only used if DB_CONNECTION=mysql)

The default database connection is SQLite (database/database.sqlite), configured via DB_CONNECTION in .env / docker-compose.yml. On first boot the app container automatically creates the SQLite file with the correct permissions and runs migrations. To switch to MySQL instead, set DB_CONNECTION=mysql in docker-compose.yml.

To run migrations manually:

docker compose exec app php command.php migrate
docker compose exec app php command.php migrate --fresh   # drops all tables first

phpLiteAdmin

A SQLite admin UI is available at http://localhost:8081, password admin (change it via the PHPLITEADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable in docker-compose.yml). It's a development-only tool — don't expose port 8081 outside your local machine.
