Deploy October CMS

October CMS is a Laravel-based content management system (CMS).

Cleavr.io deploys your October CMS app with ease.

In this guide, we'll deploy October CMS directly from their official GitHub repository to a Cleavr provisioned server.

Step 1: Provision New Server

Provision a new server with Cleavr.

You may optionally install a version of PHP during provisioning.

Step 2: Add New Site

Once your server has finished provisioning, add a new site.

Select PHP as the site's deployment workflow type.

Step 3: Configure The Deployment Workflow

Click on the deployment workflow section, and the click Complete Setup for the deployment workflow that was added after adding the new site.

Configure code repository

In the setup, you'll need to have a GitHub VC profile created in Cleavr.

Select the GitHub profile.

For the repository, enter octobercms/october.

For the branch to deploy, enter 1.1.

Click Update.

This will then open up additional tabs in the deployment workflow.

Configure deployment hooks

Click on the deployment hooks tabs.

Enable the Install Composer Dependencies hook.

Add a new hook, October Install, with the following script:

cd {{ releasePath }}
php artisan october:install

Add the new hook directly below the 'Install Composer Dependencies' hook.

This new hook will setup the database.

Step 4: Deploy!

If everything looks to be configured correctly, deploy! 🚀

Step 5: Grab The Admin Password

After the app deploys, you'll want to grab the admin password that was generated during the October Install deployment step. Click into the deployment details, then click on the October Install step. This will bring up the deployment log for this step. Scroll down and take note of the generated admin password. On the URL for your October CMS, you will use this password with along with the 'admin' username to log into the backend portion of the October CMS application.
