standalone.md

+# Todo
+
+* Installer
+* Login page (and/or login via Oauth, but we should have something easy to use)
+* Password reset
+* 2fa support (via extension?)
+* Manage users -> Setting a password for a Contact - Standalone had something
+* Manage roles/permissions (re-use what WordPress has? or Standalone?)
+* Basic theme for frontend pages?
+
+Things to consider:
+
+* Translation / multi-lingual (lcMessages would be fine)
+* Installation documentation, visibility on civicrm.org/download
+
+# Tooling
+
+* buildkit support
+* cv support
+* tar.gz release builder
+* demo site
+
+# Random
+
+* Github repo civicrm-standalone, that we could build using composer (require civicrm-core, civicrm-setup, etc), and distribute on c.o as a tar.gz.
+* Login feature could be an extension, and could be disabled if people want to use something else such as Oauth SSO or LDAP.
+
+# civicrm-core: Files to add
+
+(I have some very quick & dirty working versions of these files, need to create a WIP PR that we can apply during the build process)
+
+* CRM/Utils/System/Standalone.php
+* CRM/Core/Permission/Standalone.php
+* CRM/Utils/Hook/Standalone.php
+* templates/CRM/common/standalone.tpl
+
+# Manual installation
+
+## Using composer
+
+```
+mkdir /var/www/standalone/
+cd /var/www/standalone/
+composer config extra.enable-patching true
+composer config minimum-stability dev
+composer require civicrm/civicrm-core
+composer require civicrm/civicrm-packages
+```
+
+Directories:
+
+```
+cd /var/www/standalone/
+
+# Keeping smarty files outside the public webroot
+mkdir templates_c
+chgrp www-data templates_c
+chmod g+w templates_c
+
+# Some uploads are assumed to be publicly accessible, I think?
+mkdir web/upload
+chgrp www-data upload
+chmod g+w upload
+```
+
+## civicrm.settings.php
+
+Since the installer does not work, generate manually:
+
+```
+cd /var/www/standalone/
+cp vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/templates/CRM/common/civicrm.settings.php.template civicrm.settings.php
+```
+
+And then edit and set things manually:
+
+* UF = Standalone
+* civicrm_root = ..
+
+also need to patch this bit to set include path for civicrm-packages:
+
+```
+$include_path = '.'           . PATH_SEPARATOR .
+                $civicrm_root . PATH_SEPARATOR .
+                $civicrm_root . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '../civicrm-packages' . PATH_SEPARATOR .
+                get_include_path( );
+```
+
+(how does Drupal8 handle that?)
+
+## Initialize the database
+
+Copied `sql/civicrm.mysql` from a Drupal8 codebase, then:
+
+```
+cat vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/sql/civicrm.mysql | mysql -u civitest -p civitest
+cat vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/sql/civicrm_generated.mysql | mysql -u civitest -p civitest 
+```
+
+and then in mysql:
+
+```
+-- probablement pas nécessaire:
+-- insert into civicrm_contact (organization_name, contact_type, display_name) values ('Test Org', 'Organization', 'Test Org');
+insert into civicrm_setting (name, value, domain_id, is_domain) values ('installed', 'i:1;', 1, 1);
+```
