One way to automate deployment for 50 clients for a Laravel application is to use a deployment tool such as Laravel Envoyer. Envoyer allows you to deploy your application to multiple servers with a single click. It also allows you to manage your environment variables and database access from the dashboard.
You can also use a continuous integration (CI) tool such as Jenkins or Travis CI to automate your deployments. With CI, you can set up a pipeline that will automatically deploy your application to the desired server when a new commit is pushed to your repository.
Finally, you can also use a deployment script such as Deployer to automate your deployments. Deployer is a PHP-based deployment tool that allows you to define a set of tasks that will be executed when you deploy your application.
// Deployer script example
// Define the server
server('production', 'example.com', 22)
->user('username')
->identityFile()
->stage('production')
->env('deploy_path', '/var/www/example.com');
// Define the tasks
task('deploy', [
'deploy:prepare',
'deploy:lock',
'deploy:release',
'deploy:update_code',
'deploy:shared',
'deploy:writable',
'deploy:vendors',
'deploy:clear_paths',
'deploy:symlink',
'deploy:unlock',
'cleanup',
'success'
]);
// Run the script
desc('Deploy your project');
task('deploy', [
'deployer:prepare',
'deployer:lock',
'deployer:release',
'deployer:update_code',
'deployer:shared',
'deployer:writable',
'deployer:vendors',
'deployer:clear_paths',
'deployer:symlink',
'deployer:unlock',
'cleanup',
'success'
]);
