Restarting php-fpm on Cloudways servers from a Deployer file.

A quick and dirty deployer task to restart php-fpm hosted on cloudways

Should be simple to modify to restart other services. See https://platform.cloudways.com/api

Requirements

You need a Cloudways account and server, an api key, and the id of the server you want to restart services on.

Installation

It's just a couple of utility functions and a deployer task. Either download and include restart-php-fpm.php or install via composer:

composer require --dev samyapp/cloudways-restart-php-deployer-task

Usage

In your deploy.php script, include restart-php-fpm.php after you include your recipes.

Then set the following variables:

// The email attached to your cloudways account.
set('cloudways_email', 'you@cloudways-account-email.com'); 

// the id of the cloudways server to restart
set('cloudways_server_id', 42); 

// the php version to restart
set('cloudways_php_version', '8.1');

// your cloudways api key - you could hard code this in your deploy script of
// just set it in your environment instead.
set('cloudways_api_key', $_ENV['CLOUDWAYS_API_KEY']);

Finally, call the restart task from somewhere appropriate, eg:

after('deploy:symlink', 'deploy:restart-php-fpm');
