TLDR; This Laravel China tutorial provides a step-by-step solution to deploy and host your Laravel apps on China servers.
What is Laravel?
Laravel is a modern web application framework developed and written in PHP. Active communities support Laravel, resulting in a sizeable plug-in or libraries available for faster web development.
21YunBox provides a Laravel deployment solution in China with just a few clicks (see steps below).
How to Deploy Laravel apps in China?
- Get a 21YunBox account if you dont have one already
- Create a database
- Create a Cloud Service on the 21YunBox
- Allow the 21YunBox Build to access your repo (read-only)
- Set your deployment settings
Then, click “Advanced Configuration” to add environment variables (if needed):
| KEY | VALUE |
|---|---|
| APP_ENV | production |
| DB_CONNECTION | pgsql |
| DATABASE_URL | You can find the Database URL in the “Database > Settings.” |
| APP_KEY | Paste the key generated by php artisan key:generate --show |
Then, click “Deploy.” That’s it. And your Laravel app will be deployed inside China in just minutes.
What you have done in the above steps is set up a 21YB build CI/CD pipeline. When code is pushed to your repo, this build pipeline will automatically build and deploy your site live in China.
