Key Technological Concepts & Product Features Covered

1. Hosting Choice and Setup

   • Beget hosting is chosen due to its reliability, support, and evolving services.
   • The process applies similarly to other shared hosting providers.
   • Registration of a new Beget account and purchasing or connecting a domain.
   • Domain setup, DNS propagation, and domain linking to the hosting site.

2. Beget Control Panel Overview

   • Managing domains and websites via Beget’s control panel.
   • Understanding the folder structure, particularly the Public HTML folder where web requests are routed.
   • Using the file manager and terminal (SSH) access on Beget.
   • Enabling SSH access for command-line operations.

3. Laravel Project Deployment Using Git

   • Importance of Git for deployment versus manual upload.
   • Initializing a Git repository locally and pushing it to a private GitHub repository.
   • Cloning the repository directly on Beget hosting via SSH terminal.
   • Handling private repository access by generating SSH keys on Beget and adding deploy keys to GitHub.
   • Using git clone and git pull commands to manage project files on the server.

4. Handling Laravel’s Folder Structure on Beget

   • Deleting the default Public HTML folder on Beget.
   • Creating a symbolic link named Public HTML that points to Laravel’s public folder to route requests correctly.
   • Explanation of symbolic links and their management in Laravel’s filesystems.php config.
   • Adding symbolic links to .gitignore to avoid path conflicts across environments.

5. PHP Version Management

   • Checking and switching PHP version to 8.2 (required by Laravel) both in Beget’s site settings and terminal.
   • Running Laravel Artisan commands with the correct PHP version prefix (e.g., php8.2 artisan).

6. Composer Dependency Management

   • Beget hosting provides Composer version 1.x by default, but Laravel requires Composer 2.x.
   • Installing Composer locally within the project by downloading composer.phar.
   • Running php8.2 composer.phar install to install Laravel dependencies on the server.

7. Laravel Environment Setup

   • Creating .env file from .env.example on the server.
   • Generating Laravel application encryption key with php8.2 artisan key:generate.
   • Editing .env to configure app environment, domain, logging, and later database connection.

8. Database Setup

   • Creating a MySQL database on Beget (only MySQL supported).
   • Configuring database credentials in .env.
   • Running Laravel migrations (php8.2 artisan migrate) to set up database tables.
   • Using PHPMyAdmin on Beget for database management.

9. SSL Certificate Installation

   • Requesting and installing a free SSL certificate via Beget control panel.
   • Enabling HTTP to HTTPS redirection after certificate issuance.
   • Testing HTTPS access to ensure secure connections.

10. Updating the Laravel Project - Workflow for updating the project: commit changes locally → push to GitHub → pull changes on Beget. - Running Composer install and migrations after updates. - Using symbolic links and PHP artisan commands to maintain the deployment.
