Introduction

In this presentation, we'll discuss Laravel manual deployment and Laravel Forge - two ways to deploy Laravel applications.

Manual Deployment

To manually deploy a Laravel application, you need to:

  • Manually upload/copy the code files to the production server
  • Run composer install to install dependencies
  • Configure the environment variables
  • Configure web server to serve public/index.php

Manual Deployment - Code Example

Copy the Laravel application files to the production server.

$ scp -r app_dir user@server:/path/

Install dependencies using Composer.

$ composer install --no-dev

Configure .env file.

APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=production
...

Configure the web server. Below is an example Apache configuration.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /path/public
  <Directory /path/public>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Laravel Forge

Laravel Forge is a server provisioning and deployment tool for Laravel applications. It simplifies the process of deploying the application by automating many of the steps.

Laravel Forge - Features

  • One-click server setup
  • Automatic security updates
  • Easy SSL certificate deployment
  • Automatic daily backups
  • Quick deployment of Laravel applications
  • Integration with cloud hosting providers like DigitalOcean

Laravel Forge - Deployment Process

The deployment process can be broken down into the following steps:

  • Connect Forge to your Git repository
  • Configure the server settings
  • Create a site for your Laravel application
  • Deploy the application

Laravel Forge - Code Example

Assuming your Laravel application code is in a git repository, you can connect Forge to your repository with just a few clicks.

Laravel Forge - Server Configuration

Once Forge is connected to your repository, you need to configure the server settings. Some of the settings include:

  • Server size
  • Database type and credentials
  • Auto-deployment settings
  • Web server software

Laravel Forge - Site Configuration

After you've configured the server settings, you can create a site for your Laravel application. In the site settings, you can:

  • Choose the PHP version
  • Define environment variables
  • Set up SSL certificate

Laravel Forge - One-Click Deployment

Once everything is set up, deploying your Laravel application is as easy as clicking the "Deploy Now" button.

Benefit of Laravel Forge

  • Saves time and effort
  • Secure and easy deployment
  • Convenient integration with cloud hosting providers
  • Easy scaling
  • Takes care of server and maintenance tasks

Conclusion

  • You can deploy Laravel applications manually or through Laravel Forge
  • Laravel Forge is a more automated and secure way of deploying applications
  • Laravel Forge saves time and maximizes productivity
