Radis - Review Apps Deployed In Seconds 😎

Prerequisites

• PHP 7.4 or greater

Installation

Require this package with composer. It is recommended to only require the package for development.

composer require webid/radis --dev

Laravel uses Package Auto-Discovery, so doesn't require you to manually add the ServiceProvider.

Publish the package configuration and stubs with the publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="WebId\Radis\RadisProvider"

Configurations

1. Configuration

You need to start by configuring your environment variables to access forge in config/radis.php

First of all, create a new token here: https://forge.laravel.com/user/profile#/api and paste the generated copy in the .env file:

return [
    'forge' => [
        'token' => env('RADIS_TOKEN'),
        'server_name' => env('RADIS_SERVER_NAME'),
        'server_domain' => env('RADIS_SERVER_DOMAIN'),
        'site_php_version' => env('RADIS_SITE_VERSION', 'php80'),
        'database_password' => env('RADIS_DATABASE_PASSWORD', 'root'),
        'lets_encrypt_type' => env('RADIS_LETS_ENCRYPT_TYPE'),
        'lets_encrypt_api_key' => env('RADIS_LETS_ENCRYPT_API_KEY'),
        'timeout' =>  env('RADIS_FORGE_TIMEOUT'),
    ],
    
    'git_repository' => env('RADIS_GIT_REPOSITORY')
];

lets_encrypt_type and lets_encrypt_api_key are not required, but it's needed for auto HTTPS. For digitalocean example (https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token/):

RADIS_LETS_ENCRYPT_TYPE=digitalocean
RADIS_LETS_ENCRYPT_API_KEY=EXEMPLE98edb566f9917d797fba2c0b05e2f2064ad7771422740181561322961

Wildcard certificates

Due to Let's Encrypt limitations about making too many certificates on a registered domain (50 per week), if a wildcard certificate is set up on the parent site on Forge, it will be automatically used for the review apps instead of creating a new specific one.

2. .env stub

After that, you need to adapt the desired .env file for your review app by modifying the stub stubs/env.stub

Don't change the constants starting with STUB_, they will be automatically replaced according to your configuration, or the parameters given to artisan commands.

3. Deploy script stub

Finally, you need to adapt the forge deployment script according to your project in the stub stubs/deployScript.stub

Usage

Create a review app

⚠️ If a review app already exists with this name, it will be destroyed and recreated

php artisan radis:create mySiteName myGitBranch
php artisan radis:create mySiteName myGitBranch customDatabaseName

Update an existing review app

This will only launch the deploy script

php artisan radis:update mySiteName

Destroy a review app

⚠️ This will remove both database and associated user database

php artisan radis:destroy mySiteName

Update the .env file

php artisan radis:env mySiteName
php artisan radis:env mySiteName customDatabaseName

Update the deploy script

ℹ️ It updates the script without running it

php artisan radis:deploy-script mySiteName myGitBranch
