limoncello app on subfolders usage

[dreamsbond]

i am going to put multiple apps on a single subdomains, i.e api.domain.com;

where each subfolder house corresponding limoncello app like:
api.domain.com/school1/subschool1/...
where api endpoint api.domain.com/school1/subschool1/v1/users... etc...

i did some adjustment on nginx like

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name api.domain.com;

        access_log off;
        error_log off;

        root /srv/www;
        index index.php index.html;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }

        location /school1/subschool {
                root /srv/www/api/school1/subschool1/public/;

                rewrite ^/school1/subschool1/(.*)$ /$1 break;

                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args = 404;
                set $newurl $request_uri;
                if ($newurl ~ ^/school1/subschool1(.*)$) {
                        set $newurl $1;
                        root /srv/www/api/school1/subschool1/public/;
                }

                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $newurl;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
                fastcgi_buffer_size 16k;
                fastcgi_buffers 4 16k;
        }
}

is it a right approach to bring up limoncello app on subfolder usage ?

[neomerx]

As far as I understand you have a single database for your users. If so why not having a single domain for API as well?

[dreamsbond]

got it. yea. sounds like it was redundant.
btw,
suppose a single database for users exists (that was a limoncello-php/app)
and application for api (crud operation, that was another limoncello-php/app)

• how do the application for api be authenticated? as the application for api do not hold the token information, and;
• how do single database for users to authorise application?

they are entirely two (limoncello-php/app)

[neomerx]

They both can work with the same database. Both apps can share some tables (e.g. users) and have their own ones. Auth tokens could be issued by any of them or both. As they share users and tokens a token will work for both apps.

[dreamsbond]

how to set up?

[neomerx]

[dreamsbond]

noted. let me try it out and namespace the table to differentiate.

[dreamsbond]

this approach was good. but as more applications created. more different namespaced table will be store on same database. will it be a confusion and lack of isolation?

[neomerx]

You're asking about a very generic topic of software solutions design. My response was a sample high-level design for your requirement of having monolith solution.

[dreamsbond]

ya. agree :p

[dreamsbond]

could i define two group of database setting in limoncello-app?

[neomerx]

I think the easiest way would be adding custom config(s) and create database Connection objects out them.

[dreamsbond]

i see, so would have to add custom setting via class Doctrine and .env
