Getting Started
What are we going to do in this tutorial:
- Provision a new server.
- Configure a deployment.
- Automate deployment via GitHub Actions.
Tutorial duration: 10 min
First, install the Deployer.
Initialize Deployer
Let's say you have an app called myapp and we want to deploy it. The myapp repository is github.com/myorg/myapp and we want to deploy it to example.com.
Let's cd into our app repo and run following command:
dep init
Deployer will ask you a few question and after finishing you will have a
deploy.php or deploy.yaml file.
Provision a server
:::note If you already have configured webserver you may skip to deployment. :::
Now let's create a new VPS on Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr, AWS, GCP, etc.
Make sure what image is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as this version is supported via
Deployer provision recipe.
:::tip Configure Reverse DNS or RDNS on your server, this allow you to ssh into server using domain name instead of IP address. :::
After VPS created, let's try to ssh as root:
ssh root@example.com
Now let's provision our server.
dep provision -o remote_user=root
:::note
We added -o remote_user=root to make Deployer use root to connect to host for
provisioning.
:::
Deployer will ask you a few questions during provisioning like PHP version, database type, etc.
Provision will take ~5min.
After we have configured webserver let's deploy our app.
Configure a deployment
Let's deploy our application:
dep deploy
Now let's ssh to host and edit .env.
dep ssh
