Hi, you know there is a deploy script in laravel forge that runs when a project is deployed? Can I do something like this using my Cpanel? like write my own deploy script?
Probably the easiest if you just set up a git repo and configure a post commit hook to do whatever needs to be done, including moving the state from the repo to the web folder.
We do that with our Plesk servers all the time.
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10113/2210/how-to-use-git-version-control-cpanel-plugin/ looks like you can configure deployment scripts with that.
@Helmchen Can you explain a bit what do you mean by ->
configure a post commit hook
@iftekhs just look into https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10113/2210/how-to-use-git-version-control-cpanel-plugin/#deployment
PLEASE NOTE: cPanel automatically adds a post-receive hook to all new repositories which will trigger the deployment each time you push updates to the repository. Cloned repositories can only be deployed manually.
post-recceive hook was what i was referring to with "post-commit hook" .. i am old and i've grown up with Subversion :>
Do you have ssh access? if so you can write a simple bash script.
@Snapey Do you know a good tutorial that I can follow?
