Deploy Laravel project to Amazon EC2
Hello guys, today i'll show you how to deploy Laravel project to Amazon EC2
1. Prerequisite
- EC2 instance (installed Ubuntu, Nginx)
- VPC setup for EC2 instance can access ssh
- RDS for mysql (check to the option "Connect to exist EC2 instance")
2. Install environment for Laravel
2.1. Connect to EC2 instance via ssh
ssh -i "<examplekey.pem>" <username>@<EC2 Address>
2.2. Copy source code to EC2 instance
- Clone from github repository
git clone <link github repository>
-
(Optional) Copy source from local using scp
- Install zip, unzip from local machine
sudo apt install zip- Compress source files using zip command:
zip -r <zipfilename.zip> <folderpath>- Copy source from local to EC2 instance using scp command:
scp -i "<examplekey.pem>" <zipfilename.zip> <username>@<EC2 Address>:<pathtosave>- Extract source files using unzip command:
unzip <zipfilename.zip>
2.3. Install PHP dependencies based on your project. For example
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y php7.3
2.4. Install mysql client to connect RDS instance
sudo apt install mysql-client-core-8.0
- Connect to RDS instance from EC2 via mysql client by following command and type your password
mysql -h <RDS Address Instance> -P <port | 3306> -u <masteruser> -p
- Create your database name based on the project
CREATE DATABASE <databasename>;
EXIT;
2.5. Config your environment file to match your RDS server
...
APP_URL=<URL of your EC2 instance>
APP_DEBUG=false
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=<RDS Address link>
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=<databasename>
DB_USERNAME=<master username>
DB_PASSWORD=<password>
...
2.6. Install Composer
sudo apt-get install -y composer
2.7. Go to project directory and install dependencies
composer update
composer install
2.8. Generate application key
php artisan key:generate
2.9. Copy directory to /var/www/
cp <foldername> /var/www/
2.10. Update permissions
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/<foldername>
sudo chmod -R 755 <foldername>
3. Setting up Nginx
3.1. Configure Nginx to serve the content
sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/<foldername>
- Then you can enter the following setting:
server {
listen 80;
server_name <server_domain_or_IP>;
root /var/www/<foldername>/public;
// Focus this log if you see error
access_log /var/log/nginx/laravel-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/laravel-error.log;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
index index.html index.htm index.php;
charset utf-8;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
error_page 404 /index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
deny all;
}
}
3.2. To activate the new virtual host configuration file, create a symbolic link to foldername in sites-enabled
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/<foldername> /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
3.3. To confirm that the configuration doesn’t contain any syntax errors, you can use
sudo nginx -t
3.4. To apply the changes, reload Nginx with
sudo systemctl reload nginx
4. (Optional) Fix some error when configuring
4.1. By default, EC2 ubuntu not enabled php-fpm, run following command to enable
sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
sudo service nginx restart
Check that package PHP-FPM is exist
sudo vi /etc/php/<version>/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
Then you find this line and check that path is correct (file .sock must exists in the folder /var/run/php/)
listen = /var/run/php/php<version>-fpm.sock
Restart the service
sudo service php<version>-fpm restart
Setting EC2, RDS
1. Create EC2
- AMI: Ubuntu
- Instance type: t2.micro (free tier)
- Select existing security group or you can change later
2. Create Security Group
We allow SSH, ICMP and TCP from anywhere and in Outbound we allow anything
3. Create Route table
Route the traffic to the internet gateway (igw)
4. Create RDS
Create database for our application
Choose your DB instance type
Check the option connection to the EC2 instance
