What is Laravel Forge?
What is Laravel Forge?
Forge is an incredible tool in the family of Laravel products that helps developers focus on developing, not deploying and hosting. I personally use it when deploying Laravel applications and it does make life much easier.
Many of the pain points of hosting are taken care of for you so you can get right back to developing. Forge takes care of things like:
Creating and provisioning a new server Setting up SSH keys Creating domains and subdomains Deploying from GitHub Save common bash scripts and re-run them on many servers Configure scheduled cron jobs Firewall and security pre-configured Configure New Relic and other services Install SSL Certs Forge can do much more, but those are the main things that it will take care of for you.
Comments and Reviews
Basically a webinterface to a bash script executed via ssh.
As everything laravel, you are forced to learn the laravel way as there is nothing standard about this system or the language/naming of the features. Very poor error reporting. Support takes 24 hours to answer and is unhelpful. Cannot deploy to existing servers, only fresh ones. Cannot import existing forges. Multi-user costs extra. Zero downtime costs extra.
Just use Ploi, Runcloud or Cleavr. They have much more features for a lower price.
Pretty good, ui is a little bit dated but it's feature rich and you have full server access. They are adding new features pretty constantly.
