Deploying OctoberCMS on Laravel Forge: Best Practices?

Questions
#1

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on deploying OctoberCMS projects using Laravel Forge. I know that Laravel Forge expects a Git repository containing the full project, but I’m curious about the best approach for OctoberCMS specifically.

  1. Does anyone here use Laravel Forge to host their OctoberCMS projects?
  2. If so, do you use the Deploy plugin, or is there another preferred method?
  3. How do you manage the deployment process to keep things smooth and efficient?

Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, @artistro08, you use Forge, don’t you?

I actually don’t use Forge anymore for OCS projects, but if you use it like a normal laravel app, you shouldn’t run into any issues. Just make sure you mirror the public folder once you deploy and run any OCS specific commands after deployment via forge.
