Deploy a Laravel app

Deploy Laravel in six steps

1. 01

   Push your Laravel project to a GitHub repository.

2. 02

   Sign in to Rimbra, choose New project and import the repository. Rimbra asks GitHub for access to the repositories you pick.

3. 03

   Rimbra sees a composer.json and runs composer install, then PHP serving the public/ folder. Change the root directory or the commands in Settings if your project needs it.

4. 04

   Paste your .env into Variables. Every line becomes a variable, available on the next deploy.

5. 05

   Deploy. The build log streams line by line, and your app goes live at your-project.rimbra.live (or .xyz or .click, your choice) over HTTPS.

6. 06

   Optional: buy or connect a domain, and Rimbra points it at your app with HTTPS issued automatically.

What your app needs

One rule for servers: listen on the port in the PORT environment variable. Rimbra sets it and routes your address to it.

APP_KEY=base64:...
APP_ENV=production
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_URL=$DATABASE_URL

Laravel on Rimbra

• Create a MySQL or PostgreSQL database on Rimbra and connect it; point DB_URL at DATABASE_URL.
• Paste your whole .env into Variables and every line becomes a variable.
