Deploy Laravel on Temps

Confirm your Composer dependencies install cleanly for production:

# Install production dependencies (no dev packages)
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

# Generate a fresh APP_KEY (copy the output — don't commit it)
php artisan key:generate --show

Project structure

Temps looks for artisan and composer.json at the repository root to detect Laravel.

my-laravel-app/
├── artisan
├── composer.json
├── composer.lock
├── Procfile
├── .env.example
├── app/
├── bootstrap/
├── config/
├── database/
│   └── migrations/
├── public/
├── resources/
├── routes/
└── storage/

Procfile

The Procfile defines every process Temps should run. The web process serves HTTP traffic through Nginx + PHP-FPM. The worker process drains the queue. The release command runs once per deploy before traffic switches — use it for migrations and the storage symlink.

web: php-fpm -D && nginx -g "daemon off;"
worker: php artisan queue:work --sleep=3 --tries=3 --max-time=3600
release: php artisan migrate --force && php artisan storage:link

bootstrap/app.php — trust the load balancer

Temps terminates HTTPS at the load balancer and forwards traffic as HTTP internally. Without configuring trusted proxies, Laravel generates http:// URLs even on a domain with a valid certificate. Add this to bootstrap/app.php:

// bootstrap/app.php
return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(...)
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        // Trust all proxies — Temps uses a private network load balancer
        $middleware->trustProxies(at: '*');
    })
    ->create();

Required environment variables

Set these in the Temps dashboard under your project's Environment tab. Temps also reads from your .env.example to pre-populate the env var form when you create a new project.

Temps runs your release Procfile command automatically after each build, before traffic is switched to the new deployment. Read the full Laravel deployment guide for zero-downtime deploys, horizon configuration, and custom Nginx rules.
