Quick Start Checklist

Summary of prerequisite dependencies for the Laravel, Flutter, and Admin components:

Laravel Backend: PHP 8.2+, MySQL 8.0+ / MariaDB 10.5+, Composer 2.x, Web Server (Apache/Nginx with URL rewrite enabled), required PHP extensions (pdo, openssl, mbstring, tokenizer, xml, ctype, json, bcmath, fileinfo, gd, curl).
Flutter Mobile App: Flutter SDK 3.44.6+, Dart 3.x, Android Studio & Android SDK (API 34+), Xcode & CocoaPods for iOS builds.
Flutter Web Admin: Flutter SDK with Web target enabled, modern web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox).
Firebase Setup: Firebase project configuration with google-services.json (Android) and GoogleService-Info.plist (iOS).

Technical Requirements & Server Compatibility

The Laravel backend can be deployed on standard shared hosting (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin), Virtual Private Servers (VPS), cloud hosting, or dedicated servers.

Shared hosting users without SSH access can upload the application using cPanel File Manager or FTP, create the database, and point the domain or subdomain to Laravel’s public directory.

If Composer is not available on the hosting server, dependencies can be generated locally and uploaded to the server as detailed in the documentation guide.

HTTPS/SSL is recommended for production deployments and is required by some third-party services and mobile platform configurations.

External Services & Potential Costs Disclosure

Riffi relies on third-party external services for authentication, push notifications, monetization, and optional media storage. These services are not included in the Riffi purchase price. Buyers must create and configure their own service provider accounts and are responsible for any applicable usage fees, quotas, subscriptions, storage, data transfer, advertising, SMS, or other provider charges.

Firebase (Google): Used for User Authentication and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push notifications. Firebase service usage is separate from the Riffi purchase price. Free quotas and available pricing depend on the Firebase plan and current Google terms.
AWS S3 (Amazon Web Services – Optional): Riffi supports AWS S3 as an optional media storage driver for audio tracks and artwork. AWS S3 storage, requests, and data transfer charges are separate from the Riffi purchase price and are billed to the buyer’s AWS account.
Google AdMob: Integrated for in-app banner and interstitial ad monetization. The buyer must use their own Google AdMob account. Any applicable account, service, or advertising-related requirements are separate from the Riffi purchase price.
Domain & Hosting: Web server hosting, database hosting, domain registration, SSL certificates, server bandwidth, backups, CDN services, and related infrastructure costs are separate from the Riffi purchase price and are the responsibility of the buyer.

Recommended Hosting

For buyers looking for a hosting provider suitable for deploying the Riffi Laravel backend, we recommend Hostinger. Depending on traffic, music library size, storage, bandwidth, and concurrent users, buyers can choose a suitable shared hosting or VPS plan.

Please review the current hosting specifications and Laravel/PHP compatibility of the selected plan before purchasing. Larger music libraries and higher traffic may require a VPS or other scalable infrastructure.
