Deployment

Building Laracord for production has the same build process as Laravel Zero utilizing Box to bundle the application into a single PHAR file.

Additional configuration for Box can be found in box.json.

#Building for Production

To build your bot for production, simply run the app:build command:

$ php laracord app:build

Once the build command completes, the bundled bot file with be located in builds/.

#Note

For more information on app:build, you can refer to the Laravel Zero docs.

#Booting in Production

When your bot is built for production, it will expect to live alongside a .env file and will automatically create a database.sqlite file and cache folder alongside the binary on first run.

To boot your bot, use the built PHAR file the same way you worked with Laracord locally on a server running PHP 8.1+:

$ php laracord
# or
$ ./laracord

#Pterodactyl Egg

If you are using Pterodactyl for existing applications/servers, you can easily run your Laracord bot using the officially supported Pterodactyl egg.
