Solved Lamp App with Git

[jdelon02]

Hello,

I was wondering if git is available to the lamp app for deploying web projects? I use drupal and WP for various projects, and being able to deploy the code directly from a git hosting service and then run composer install to get any dependencies would be much more inline with the method I currently.

Thanks,

Jeremy

@jdelon02 Currently, you can only upload via SFTP. We are working on git support for the next release. Please see my comment at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1948/using-mongodb-instead-of-mysql-in-a-lamp-app

@girish I coulda sworn I was able to git clone blahblah in LAMP, is that not possible anymore...?

Edit: Yeah, it works for me?

What I did in my lamp was:

cd /app/data/public
rm -rf ./.
cd ..
git clone <URL> public

Will put a git repo right in the apache web root folder.

@murgero You are right. I think what some users are looking for is a "git push" based workflow (like in heroku). So, your code is hosted on gitlab/gogs and they just want to do "git push lamp" and expect it to deploy to the lamp server. I guess the main advantage is that they don't need to open Cloudron terminal + also can integrate with CI/CD.

I believe LAMP app supports cron, in that case use the following script to auto-pull from a git repo whenever an update is pushed to that repo:

Put in /app/data/updateGit

#!/bin/sh

## CD to the path where the app is installed.
cd /app/data/public
UPSTREAM=${1:-'@{u}'}
LOCAL=$(git rev-parse @)
REMOTE=$(git rev-parse "$UPSTREAM")
BASE=$(git merge-base @ "$UPSTREAM")

if [ $LOCAL = $REMOTE ]; then
    echo "Up-to-date"
elif [ $LOCAL = $BASE ]; then
    echo "Need to pull"
    git pull
elif [ $REMOTE = $BASE ]; then
    echo "Need to push? Some files changed / commited here, this should not have happened."
else
    echo "Diverged?? Help!"
fi

Then in /app/data/crontab:

*/5 * * * * bash /app/data/updateGit 2>&1

## Or if you wanna avoid filling logs:
*/5 * * * * bash /app/data/updateGit  2>&1 > /dev/null

This will check if a pull is needed from a repo every 5 minutes. (Re: https://crontab.guru/every-5-minutes)

You can also modify the bash script to rebuild, npm install, composer install, etc when needed too.
