Envoyer Type Deployment on Forge

Despite my best efforts I cannot get my client to spring for Envoyer, so I'm setting out to build a similar workflow just using the Forge deployment script.

This seemed like an easy task, but apparently I don't have the needed git commands to make this work.

My initial attempt looks like so:

# make a deploy dir
mkdir /home/forge/deploying

# copy existing .git directory to deploy
cp -r /home/forge/example.com/.git /home/forge/deploying/.git

# cd into deploying
cd /home/forge/deploying

# fetch and pull
git fetch --all
git pull origin develop

# typical forge commands
$FORGE_COMPOSER install --no-interaction --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader
( flock -w 10 9 || exit 1
    echo 'Restarting FPM...'; sudo -S service $FORGE_PHP_FPM reload ) 9>/tmp/fpmlock

php artisan migrate --force
npm install
npm run dev
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan queue:restart

# since npm has compiled theres no need to keep all these files
rm -rf node_modules

# delete the old site
rm -rf /home/forge/example.com

# change the name of the deploying dir
mv /home/forge/deploying /home/forge/example.com

I know that Envoyer is more elegant with this, providing several backups and other features and I may try that once I get something basic to work.

Right now it dies at composer install because it's not pulling in all the files, only any changed files.

Any help?

Ok here we go.

This works really well on all the sites I implemented it on.

Hopefully it will help you out if you're in a situation where you can't use Envoyer for some reason.

# delete our old deploy directory if it exists
if [ -d "/home/forge/deploy" ] 
then 
	rm -rf /home/forge/deploy
fi

# create a deploy directory
mkdir /home/forge/deploy

# move into the directory
cd /home/forge/deploy

# clone your repository branch 
git clone -b $FORGE_SITE_BRANCH [email protected]:Example/example.git .

# copy needed files that aren't committed to git
cp /home/forge/example.com/.env /home/forge/deploy/.env
cp -r /home/forge/example.com/storage /home/forge/deploy

# install dependencies with composer
$FORGE_COMPOSER install --no-interaction --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader

# restart PHP-FPM
( flock -w 10 9 || exit 1
    echo 'Restarting FPM...'; sudo -S service $FORGE_PHP_FPM reload ) 9>/tmp/fpmlock

# run artisan and node commands
php artisan migrate --force
npm install
npm run production
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan queue:restart

# now that scripts are compiled remove the node directory
rm -rf node_modules

# delete our old backup directory
if [ -d "/home/forge/backup" ] 
then 
	rm -rf /home/forge/backup
fi

# backup the current build
mv /home/forge/example /home/forge/backup

# deploy the new build
mv /home/forge/deploy /home/forge/example.com

# move into new build directory
cd /home/forge/example.com

# link your storage directory
php artisan storage:link

Cheers.
