🚀 Quick Setup (5 minutes)

Step 1: Create CI4 Project

# On your server
cd /var/www
composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter abdm-bridge-gateway

# Navigate
cd abdm-bridge-gateway

Step 2: Copy Gateway Files

Copy all files from this package into the project directory.

Step 3: Configure Database

# Edit .env
APP_NAME = "ABDM Bridge Gateway"
APP_DEBUG = false
CI_ENVIRONMENT = production

# Database
database.default.hostname = localhost
database.default.username = root
database.default.password = your-password
database.default.database = abdm_gateway
database.default.DBDriver = MySQLi

Step 4: Run Migrations

php spark migrate

Step 5: Set Permissions

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/abdm-bridge-gateway
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/abdm-bridge-gateway
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/abdm-bridge-gateway/writable

Step 6: Configure Apache VirtualHost

Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/abdm-bridge.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName abdm-bridge.e-atria.in
    DocumentRoot /var/www/abdm-bridge-gateway/public

    <Directory /var/www/abdm-bridge-gateway/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
    Redirect permanent / https://abdm-bridge.e-atria.in/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName abdm-bridge.e-atria.in
    DocumentRoot /var/www/abdm-bridge-gateway/public
    
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/abdm-bridge.e-atria.in/fullchain.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/abdm-bridge.e-atria.in/privkey.pem

    <Directory /var/www/abdm-bridge-gateway/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Security headers
    Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"
    Header set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
    Header set X-Frame-Options "DENY"
    Header set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"

    # Error logs
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/abdm-bridge-error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/abdm-bridge-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Step 7: Enable VirtualHost & SSL

# Enable vhost
sudo a2ensite abdm-bridge

# Enable required Apache modules
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo a2enmod headers

# Get SSL certificate
sudo certbot certonly --apache -d abdm-bridge.e-atria.in

# Restart Apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 8: Test

curl https://abdm-bridge.e-atria.in/api/v3/health
# Should return: {"status":"ok","service":"abdm-bridge-gateway"...}
