];Publish the assets:
php artisan mixpost:publish-assetsMixpost has the ability to generate images from video while uploading a video file. This would not be possible without FFmpeg installed on your server. You need to follow FFmpeg installation instructions on their official website.
After installation, depending on the operating system, you need to set the ffmpeg_path and ffprobe_path in the Mixpost config file.
Default folder path: /usr/bin/. If FFmpeg is there, there is no need to change it.
/*
* FFMPEG & FFProbe binaries paths, only used if you try to generate video thumbnails
*/
'ffmpeg_path' => env('FFMPEG_PATH', '/usr/bin/ffmpeg'),
'ffprobe_path' => env('FFPROBE_PATH', '/usr/bin/ffprobe'),Mixpost does not come with any user management, we assume that you already provide this in your own app. You can use a gate check to determine who can access Mixpost.
You can determine which users of your application are allowed to view the Mixpost UI by defining a gate check called viewMixpost in your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file.
public function boot()
{
\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate::define('viewMixpost', function ($user = null) {
return optional($user)->email === 'dima@inovector.com';
});
}Mixpost will redirect unauthorized users to the route specified in the redirect_unauthorized_users_to_route key of the Mixpost config file.
After performing all these steps, you should be able to visit the Mixpost UI at /mixpost.
