How CI/CD on Shared hosting using cPanel Git Version With 3 Way Simple

In recent years I have studied the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CICD) methodology and tried to apply it.

For hobby projects, I usually use netlify.com or vercel.com and github.com and take advantage of the CICD convenience features they provide with just a click and it's cool with 0$, although it has some limitations.

It occurred to me, whether CICD can be done between cPanel and github. then i try to type some keywords on google like

cicd cpanel github,

cPanel Git auto deploy,

CI/CD Github Laravel,

Laravel GitHub Actions,

How to Create CI/CD with Github Action and Laravel

from the results of searching for tutorials on google, I finally adjusted it to my needs and case.

in this case I use

Laravel 9,

PHP 8.1,

Private repo

Why use cPanel for CICD because the price is relatively more affordable when compared to AWS, I admit there is no hobby project that can handle the expensive overhead that AWS brings.

The whole process can be divided into 3 simple Phases:

Create a private repository on your GitHub account,

Create a cPanel FTP account from your cPanel dashboard,

Create a YAML file (in your git repository '.github/workflows' folder),

Create a repository in your GitHub account,

I'm sure you can make this easily.

Create a cPanel FTP account from your cPanel dashboard,

I believe you can easily ftp account in cPanel after creating ftp account in cpanel create secret action in your private github repository.

and create secret action like below,

Create a YAML file (in the right folder of your git repository)

Use your favorite edit, in this case I'm using vscode. create a folder ".github/workflows" then create a file with the extension *.yml or adjust the file name you want for example 'cpanellaravel.yml' then copy the code below

name: cpanellaravel
on: push
jobs:
  deploy:
    name: Deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: 🚚 Get latest code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Upload ftp
      uses : SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@4.3.2
      with:
        server: ${{ secrets.ftp_server }}
        username: ${{ secrets.ftp_username }}
        password: ${{ secrets.ftp_password }}
    - name: running command ssh
      uses: appleboy/ssh-action@master
      with:
        host: ${{ secrets.HOST_SSH }}
        username: ${{ secrets.USERNAME_SSH }}
        password: ${{ secrets.PASSWORD_SSH }}
        port: ${{ secrets.PORT_SSH }}
        script: |
          cd panelpdd/
          composer install

yml script above with flow if there is a push in the repository then yml will send only the files that have been changed. then the next script will do a composer install .
