Laravel Homestead, the Vagrant box for easily running Laravel on any platform, released v4.0 that includes support for the just released PHP 7.1. Laravel View Exist In this quick tip, learn how to utilize Laravel’s view exist method. Valet 2.0 Laravel Valet released v2 with a move to Nginx, PHP 7.1, and other speed improvements. Upgrade to 2.0 from 1.x. Version 2.0.0 introduced breaking change in library API in order to fix breaking change introduced by Forge API itself. Services like DigitalOcean and Linode are incredibly cheap and scalable, however, they do assume a certain level of server administration knowledge. Even with these skills, performing common tasks can prove to be a burden. Thankfully, Laravel Forge, built by the creator of Laravel (Taylor Otwell), is here to save the day. F-Bar is a brand new Mac App made by EASTWEST, that allows you to manage your Laravel Forge servers from your Menubar. Last month Laravel released its first official Forge API, and F-Bar utilizes this so you can quickly handle almost all aspects of your servers from an easy to use location.
I’ve tried a few different services to manage servers in the past, such as Command.io and I’ve settled on Laravel’s Forge for its ease of use, low cost and quick responses to any Support tickets, when building or maintaining servers for clients or side projects.
Forge can be used to create a server, designed for PHP development on your choice of provider, whether its Digital Ocean, AWS or a custom provider.
It will install nginx, PHP 7 (or 5.6), mySQL, postgres and Redis, possibly faster than using Ansible and definitely faster that doing it yourself by SSH’ing in.
Its not specific to Laravel based projects, it can be used to create servers to host any kind of PHP application. I’ve used it to host Laravel, Lumem, Slim native PHP and even WordPress sites. This blog is hosted on Digital Ocean via Forge.
You pay a flat fee to Forge for its control panel, regardless of the number of servers and the costs of any servers you create are invoiced as normal from your provider, such as AWS.
For me, the benefits of Forge are:
There are plenty of other features and a good place to see them if you like video tutorials about Forge in action are on Laracasts.
Some small complaints I have about Forge are that it doesn’t support roll-backs of deployments to a server, but I think maybe that’s saved for Laravel Envoyer, which I haven’t tried out yet.
Also, when adding a new site, such as “domain.com”, it will also create the www version nginx virtual host for you of “www.domain.com”, the problem is that if you add a site of “www.domain.com”, it goes ahead and creates a virtual host of “www.www.domain.com”
My next step it to try out PHP 7 on a Forge-built server.
