## Prepare your project for Deploy Laravel

Add the project dependency files, `composer.json and composer.lock` to your Git repository. Default build and run commands for this stack:

```
# Build command
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader && php artisan config:cache

# Run command
php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=$PORT
```

Set APP_KEY, APP_ENV, APP_URL and database connection details as environment variables.

## Automatic deployment directly from the Git repository

- Create a new project and environment in the Deplomo user panel.

- Connect the service to the GitHub or GitLab repository and the desired branch.

- Set the build and run commands to match your project.

- Set the required environment variables, then deploy.

- Connect your custom domain in the Domains section and use free SSL.

## Deploy a local folder with Deplomo CLI

```
curl -fsSL https://get.deplomo.com/install.sh | sh
deplomo login
cd your-project
deplomo deploy
deplomo logs
```

Use the Deplomo CLI to deploy local code directly without pushing it to Git.

On Windows (PowerShell), use `irm https://get.deplomo.com/install.ps1 | iex` instead of the first command.

- Run the queue worker and scheduler separately as services or cron jobs.
