Deploy Laravel to a server you own.

Connect a VPS over SSH and Depfloy provisions PHP, nginx and your database, then deploys every push as a new release. The symlink only flips once the build succeeds, so a failed deploy leaves the previous release serving.

Horizon, Octane, Reverb and Nightwatch

Install the Laravel plugins from the project screen. Depfloy supervises each one, restarts it on deploy, and gives it its own log stream.

The scheduler and queue workers belong to the project

Cron entries and queue workers are configured next to the code they run, not in a separate place you forget about.

Storage and .env survive releases

Shared files and directories are linked into each new release, so uploads and the environment file are not wiped when a deploy lands.

Laravel deploys the same way every other framework does on Depfloy: the release is built in its own directory while the current one keeps serving, and going live is an atomic symlink flip. What is Laravel-specific is everything around the release — the scheduler, the queue workers, and the first-party packages that need a supervised process of their own.

FAQ

Laravel questions

Does Depfloy run my migrations? +
Only if your deploy script says so. The script is yours — the default includes migrate --force, and you can remove it or add anything else the release needs.
What happens to queue workers during a deploy? +
They are restarted after the symlink flips, so workers pick up the new code rather than continuing on the old release.
Which PHP version do I get? +
PHP 8.4 is provisioned by default, and the version is managed from the server's PHP screen.

9 other frameworks deploy the same way.

The release model is identical; only the build steps differ.
