Can't get Statamic to write contents

[hansipete]

Hello hello,

since a few days I'm struggling to get Statamic to work. I'm deploying to a Hetzner VPS (smallest for now, CX11 1vCPU, 2Gb RAM).

I set up the server running dep provision -o remote_user=root. Now I can deploy the site with dep deploy. My deploy.php looks something like below.

The site itself works, but I can not edit any content from the backend. I get the message: file_put_contents('/home/deployer/xxxyyyzzz.de/releases/11/content/collections/pages/home.md): Failed to open stream: Permission denied

I don't understand why this is, because there seems to be a symlink in that folder: content -> ../../shared/content

Hope somebody can help.

Thank you,
Hans

I am still confused how to get everything working, but made some progress.

This is my current deployer.php settings for files/folders:

add('shared_dirs', [
    'storage',
    'content'
]);

add('shared_files', [
    '.env'
]);

add('writable_dirs', [
    'storage',
    'content',
    'public', 
    'bootstrap/cache',
]);

What did the trick for me was changing php-fpm user to deployer. This config can be done in /etc/php/8.1/fpm/pool.d/www.conf. Restarted fpm process and it was working (create, edit content, upload assets tested)

Another little adjustment needed in deployer.php: host(...)→set('http_user', 'deployer')

Next up I'm searching for a way to allow Statamic Git Integration to commit/push changes on the live server to the repository...

@hansipete how did you configure the deployment script to keep your assets after a new deployment ?
