Question 1

How do I install PHP Censor on Ubuntu?

Accepted Answer

Follow the installing documentation which outlines steps for Unix-like OS, including setting up PHP 7.4+, a web server, database, and Beanstalkd queue. It typically involves cloning the repository and running configuration commands via the command line.

Question 2

PHP Censor vs Jenkins for PHP projects?

Accepted Answer

PHP Censor is lighter and more PHP-focused with zero-config defaults for PHP tools, while Jenkins is more general-purpose with a larger plugin ecosystem but steeper setup. Choose PHP Censor for simplicity in PHP workflows; Jenkins for multi-language or complex pipelines.

Question 3

How to configure PHP Censor with GitLab?

Accepted Answer

Use the GitLab source integration detailed in the documentation, which involves adding a .php-censor.yml file to your repository and setting up webhooks in GitLab to trigger builds automatically on code pushes.

Question 4

Does PHP Censor support Docker?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention Docker integration; it relies on traditional server setups. For containerized environments, you might need custom scripting or consider other CI tools with native Docker support.

Question 5

How to upgrade PHP Censor from version 1 to version 2?

Accepted Answer

Refer to the UPGRADE_2.0.md file linked in the README, which provides migration steps. Note that version 1 is unsupported, so upgrading involves database migrations and potential configuration changes.

Question 6

Can PHP Censor run tests on multiple PHP versions?

Accepted Answer

Not directly supported out-of-the-box; you'd need to manage PHP versions manually on the server or use virtualization. This is a limitation compared to cloud CI services that offer matrix builds for different PHP versions.

Question 7

How to set up notifications in PHP Censor?

Accepted Answer

Configure via the notification system in the .php-censor.yml file or web interface, supporting channels like Email, Slack, and Telegram as per the plugins documentation. Each channel requires specific settings like API keys or webhook URLs.
