Description

I'm using Envoyer to deploy a Laravel Octane application, taking advantage of its zero-downtime deployment features.

However, Octane currently does not support zero-downtime deployment because it does not follow symlink directories. It always remains in the actual directory (instead of the symlinked one) where the Octane server was initially started. When the outdated release directory is deleted, Octane continues running in that location, causing errors on every request and resulting in 500 response codes on the live application.

Error thrown:

Warning: require(/var/www/domain.com/releases/202502010200023/vendor/laravel/octane/bin/bootstrap.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/domain.com/releases/202502010200023/vendor/laravel/octane/bin/swoole-server on line 18

Steps To Reproduce

Use any 0-downtime deployment or test it manually using the following instructions:

1. Use the Swoole driver as an example.
2. cd one directory up from the project's base path.
3. Create a current symlink directory for your project using the command: ln -nsf ./octane-project-test ./current
4. Start the Octane server: php ./current/artisan octane:start
5. Copy your project to another directory: cp -R ./octane-project-test ./octane-project-test-new
6. Activate the new release: ln -nsf ./octane-project-test-new ./current
7. Reload the Octane server: php ./current/artisan octane:reload
8. Remove the original project directory: rm -rf ./octane-project-test
