Deployment of Laravel projects using Git webhooks

git-deploy-laravel allows for automated deployment using webhook requests from your repository's server, and automatically pulls project code using the local Git binary.

This should work out-of-the-box with Laravel 5.x using with webhooks from GitHub and GitLab servers.

This is an internal tool to help with our common workflow pattern but please feel free to borrow, change and improve.

Installation

Step 1

Add the following to your composer.json file then update your composer as normal:

{
    "require" : {
        "orphans/git-deploy-laravel" : "dev-master"
    }
}

Or run:

composer require orphans/git-deploy-laravel

Step 2

Add the /git-deploy route to CSRF exceptions so your repo's host can send messages to your project.

In file in app/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php add:

protected $except = [
    'git-deploy',
];

Step 3 Optional

In case you need additional action after a successful commit, you can add you own Event Listener. For example you can write your own update script to run migrations etc.

1) Create a Listener to perform action when a git deployment is done. Open the App/Listeners directory (or create it if it doesn't exist). Now create a new file and call it GitDeployedListener.php. Paste in this code:

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

use \Orphans\GitDeploy\Events\GitDeployed;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class GitDeployedListener implements ShouldQueue
{
    /**
     * Create the event listener.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        // Here you can setup something
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  ReactionAdded  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(GitDeployed $gitDeployed)
    {
        // Do some magic with event data $gitDeployed contains the commits

    }
}

As you can see, it's a normal event listener. You might notice that the listener implements ShouldQueue — it's useful because our app must respond fast. If you want some long-running stuff in your event listener, you need to configure a queue.

2) Now we add this listener to /App/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php like any other event listener:

// ...

protected $listen = [

        // ...

       \Orphans\GitDeploy\Events\GitDeployed::class => [
            \App\Listeners\GitDeployedListener::class
        ]
    ];

// ...

Usage

Add a webhook for http://your.website.url/git-deploy to your project in GitHub/GitLab and this package will take care of the rest. The webhook should fire on push-events.

Your website will automatically receive POST messages from the repo manager and perform a Git pull.

Configuration

In most cases the package will find the correct Git repository and Git executable but we advise publishing our config anyway because it will let you enable extra security options and email notifications.

To add custom configuration run:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Orphans\GitDeploy\GitDeployServiceProvider"

Then edit /config/gitdeploy.php to suit your needs.

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Email recipients
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The email address and name that notification emails will be sent to.

Future Plans

  • Email report on code conflicts that prevent a pull
  • Support for performing composer install after deployment
  • Support for restarting laravel queues after deployment with artisan queue:restart
  • Support for running custom artisan commands after successful pulls
