How to deploy Laravel application from Github to DigitalOcean

You can use something like PHP Deployer (https://deployer.org/) for the actual deploy process and GitHub Webhooks (https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/#receiving-webhooks) to let the server know when to deploy again.

Do yourself a giant favor and spend $10.00 per month on Forge. You can auto deploy after commit. Your life will be very easy then. I use Forge and Envoyer on over 15 medium-large projects with great results.

I followed this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-automatic-deployment-with-git-with-a-vps to set up our deploy process. In the hook I have set upp app down composer update and all the other good stuff you can do while the code is updating.

Forge seems nice though.

Another answer there's a video for that.

Thank you guys, everyone for the response, since I'm using Droplet on DigitalOcean I came to temporary decision to use DeployBot, in a perspective I'm going to use Envoy and Force.

Hi ArkonL,

There is a new deployment automation tool launched - https://deployplace.com/. It's still in beta, but you can request early access.

You can deploy any application directly to DigitalOcean from DeployPlace, even if you don’t have any DigitalOcean server, you will be able to buy it from DeployPlace.

It's similar to Deploybot, but much more powerful and supports the deployment of complex applications.

Hope this helps,
