Envoyer and existing deployments

I have a couple of production deployments using Forge. How to use Envoyer when the directory of the server is already pointing at "public/" whereas Envoyer needs to be accessing /current/public

is there a way around this without breakdown?

thanks

You should be able to switch it easily enough.

In a nutshell:

Create the current directory manually
Copy the contents of your folder into it
Delete storage from the copy, symlink the original version in its place
Update nginx to point to current/public instead of public
Reload nginx
Verify it's working
Switch to using Envoyer for future deployments

See how you go. It'll definitely be a manual process, although trivial.
