Application

Introduction

In the Application page you can manage your app and deployments.

Branch

You can change the branch of your cloned repository

Deployment Script

This is a script which will be executed on your application server and in the site's path each time you press the Deploy button.

Your website's path is /home/vito/YOUR-DOMAIN

Vito also exports some variables when running your deployment script, and you can use them during the deployment.

Here are the supported variables:

Code

SITE_PATH=[path to the website]
DOMAIN=[domain name]
BRANCH=[branch name]
REPOSITORY=[repository]
COMMIT_ID=[commit id when deploying]
PHP_VERSION=[the php version that your site running]
PHP_PATH=[path to the php your site running]

The variables are bash script variables and you can use them just like a normal bash script variable.

here is an example:

Shell

echo "Deploying $DOMAIN to $SITE_PATH"

Example deployment script for a Laravel application:

Shell

cd $SITE_PATH
 
php artisan down
 
git pull origin $BRANCH
 
composer install --no-interaction --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader
php artisan migrate --force
 
php artisan optimize:clear
php artisan optimize
 
sudo service supervisor restart
 
php artisan up
 
echo "✅ Deployment completed successfully!"

Environment variables

You can update .env file of your application using Update .env button.

By default, Vito will read the .env file from your site's root directory. However, you can change the path to the .env file when updating it via Vito.

This button appears when there is a deployment script! So you need to first write your deployment script and then this button will appear, and you will be able to click on it an execute the deployment script on the server.

Auto Deployment

You can enable auto deployment for your application by setting up git hooks.

Vito will handle the git hooks setup for you and you just need to click a button to enable it.

You need to have a deployment script to enable auto deployment.

Since source control providers need to send a request to your server, you need to have vito accessible in the Internet. This feature cannot work when you use Vito locally.
