Laravel Deployer is a lightweight wrapper of Deployer.org giving Artisan the power of zero-downtime deployment.

• Documentation
• Blog article

• Simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
• Ready to use recipes for Laravel
• Parallel execution without extensions
• Something went wrong? Rollback to the previous release
• Agentless, it's just SSH
• Zero downtime deployments

composer require lorisleiva/laravel-deployer

As you know, from Laravel 5.5 it will automatically discover the package. Before that register it manually.

Lorisleiva\LaravelDeployer\LaravelDeployerServiceProvider::class

In order to generate your deployment configuration file, simply run:

php artisan deploy:init

It will ask you a few questions to help you get started and generate a deploy.php file at the root of your project.

Read more about the available options, tasks, recipes; about how to customize your hosts, your deployment flow; about the gotchas of deploying an app that is already live and much more in the documentation.

When you’re ready to deploy, run:

php artisan deploy

If anything goes wrong during the deployment flow, the release will be discarded just like nothing happened.

Because we are using zero-downtime deployments, make sure your server’s root path point to {{deploy_path}}/current.

If your project has already been deployed, before using Laravel Deployer, be sure to read this.

deploy                # Deploy your Laravel application
deploy:configs        # Print host configuration
deploy:current        # Show current paths
deploy:dump <task>    # Display the task-tree for a given task
deploy:hosts          # Print all hosts
deploy:init           # Generate deploy.php configuration file
deploy:list           # Lists available tasks
deploy:run <task>     # Execute a given task on your hosts
ssh                   # Connect to host through ssh
