Deploying laravel application (github, digitalocean)

if you have no deep knowledge on setting up a server, you could try using Forge and Enyover

Forge is for setting up the server, add worker, cron etc. and enyover for zero downtime deployment, meaning you could push to your repo, then envoyer will automatically pull them from your repo.

*they are both written by Taylor Otwell.

So, there is an easy solution...spend a few dollars per month on Forge and Envoyer...done! Just like alainbelez noted above.

Thank you for your replies, I am aware of Forge and Envoyer which makes it easy to deploy a Laravel application, but i wish to learn others ways and it would be helpful if someone could point me where to look at, i came across the concept of git hooks and automatic updates using exec_shell to execute shell commands in the production server but i am not really getting on implementing it onto the real production server. So any help regarding that is appreciated.

you could follow this tutorial from DO https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04

@alainbelez That is for setting up a server, thank you but I do not think that is relevant for the question.

I am using PHPStorm and there is option to login using ssh - so after login i can easily deploy my site on server at digital ocean.

There is mapping tab - set local server path and deployment server path that's all.

or you can read this tutorial if you want to use git to deploy website :

Hello @alainbelez, i'm pretty sure that you might have found out how to do this already, but i had the same issue, and i just thought i'd share my solution for anyone else that might have the same issue in the future:

After extensive research on the internet, i found the Ultimate guide, works seamlessly if your using nginx or apache from digital ocean hosting:
