Grav CMS

Grav is an open source, flat file CMS that is a breeze to use. You'll love it!

Cleaver Desktop had a 1-click installer. We plan on bringing this to cleavr.io. In the meantime, even without the ease of a 1-click installer, Grav is super duper easy to install on your server using Cleavr.

Deploy Grav with Cleavr

There are a couple of different ways to add Grav to your server as you can see from their installation instructions.

In this guide, we'll use a direct method that avoids you having to SSH into the server.

In Cleavr -

1. On your server, add a new PHP site
2. Once the site is added, go to Deployments and click on the deployment workflow that was automatically created after step 1
3. In deployment workflow > settings, select a GitHub VC Profile
4. For repository, enter https://github.com/getgrav/grav then save the settings and refresh the page
5. Go to deployment workflow > deployment hooks and continue with the next steps

We'll add a couple deployment hooks. One to install grav and the other to install the admin panel, which is optional.

Add a new hook for Install Grav with the following command -

cd {{ releasePath }}
bin/grav install

Save the hook and optionally add the following hook for Install Admin Panel -

cd {{ releasePath }}
bin/gpm install admin --all-yes

Drag and drop the new hooks so that the hooks appear in the following order:

1. Copy Project
2. Install Grav
3. Install Admin Panel
4. Activate New Deployment
5. Clean Old Deployments.

Now, go to deployment workflow > deployments and click on Deploy.

Once the deployment is complete (which is super quick and shouldn't take more than a minute or two) head over to the URL that was setup for your site.

If you opted to install the Admin Panel, then you'll fill out a quick form and then you'll be all set!
