Laravel-Artisan Cookbook

Did you ever want to to run Laravel's php artisan commands on an automated infrastructure? If you are using Chef then this cookbook is for you.

Commands that are particular useful for development are not supported.

Supported commands:

• down
• up
• ... and more to come

Requirements

• Chef 12.7 or higher

Platform Support

This cookbook has been developed and used on Ubuntu 16.04.

Environment Support

• AWS Opsworks

Cookbook Dependencies

Currently none.

Usage

Place a dependency on the mysql cookbook in your cookbook's metadata.rb

depends 'mysql', '~> 8.0'

or add the dependency in your Berksfile:

cookbook 'laravel-artisan'

Then, you can run the recipes using Chef's runlist. Right away this will throw an Exception. To get it work properly you have to pass a path to the directory where the artisan file is located.

Envirionment file

Passing the path to the artisan file via an environment file:

{
  "name": "development",
  "description": "Vagrant Development Environment",
  "default_attributes": {
    "laravel-artisan": {
      "path": "<path-to-artisan-file>"
    }
  },
  "json_class": "Chef::Environment",
  "chef_type": "environment"
}

AWS Opsworks

Using AWS Opsworks you can pass in the path via custom json:

  "laravel-artisan": {
    "path": "<path-to-artisan-file>"
  }
}
