You can either manually setup a Cherrycake application using this skeleton, or use the automatic docker-based setup. ### Manual setup [](#manual-setup) - Clone or download this repository. - Run **composer install** to retrieve up-to-date required dependencies. - In your Nginx config file, inside your project's **server** directive, include the Cherrycake nginx config file by adding a line like this (modify the path to suit your structure): `include /var/www/html/myproject/vendor/tin-cat/cherrycake/nginx.conf` - Check out to learn how to create projects with Cherrycake ### Automatic docker-based setup [](#automatic-docker-based-setup) To automatically setup a docker-based server with a working Cherrycake skeleton ready to work, use the [Cherrycake Docker](https://github.com/tin-cat/cherrycake-docker) repository. ### What is Cherrycake? [](#what-is-cherrycake) Cherrycake is a low-level programming framework for developing modular, efficient and secure PHP web applications. Instead of a comprehensive, all-in-one web app building environment, Cherrycake aims only to provide a strong foundational layer and methodology that feels comfortable, rational and easy to use while prioritizing modularity, performance and security. ### Official Cherrycake links [](#official-cherrycake-links) - **Cherrycake Documentation** Documentation is available here: - **Examples** All the examples from the documentation at are compiled in this Cherrycake app, you can use it as a reference: [Cherrycake documentation examples](https://github.com/tin-cat/cherrycake-documentation-examples) - **Cherrycake engine** The Cherrycake engine repository is available at [Cherrycake Engine](https://github.com/tin-cat/cherrycake) - **Cherrycake Skeleton** Clone or download the [Cherrycake Skeleton](https://github.com/tin-cat/cherrycake-skeleton) repository to use it as the starting point for your project. - **Cherrycake Docker** The [Cherrycake Docker](https://github.com/tin-cat/cherrycake-docker) sets up a complete server with Cherrycake running and a skeleton installed ready for you to start your project straightaway. ### Beta statement [](#beta-statement) Although Cherrycake is still under heavy development and it's considered to still be in a beta stage, it's functional and it's already running some public web applications without issues. It's still not recommended to use Cherrycake in critical, or data sensitive applications. Instead, you're encouraged to try it to see for yourself whether it meets your security and stability requisites, and to contribute your suggestions or improvements via the official git repositories. ### Health Score 22 — LowBetter than 22% of packages Maintenance31 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity34 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 98.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
