You could deploy this project use Laravel Octane, supercharges the performance by serving application using Swoole, RoadRunner, or FrankenPHP.

pecl install swoole

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get php8.2-swoole

Setting octane in .env file:

OCTANE_SERVER=swoole
OCTANE_HTTPS=false

Start the service by swoole server:

php artisan ocatane:start

In production, you can use Supervisor to start swoole server and laravel queue worker.

Using supervisor to start swoole server process, we have to create a docfunc-octane-worker.conf config file in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/.

[program:docfunc-octane-worker]
command=/usr/bin/php -d variables_order=EGPCS /var/www/docfunc/artisan octane:start --workers=2 --server=swoole --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8000
user=www-data
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/docfunc-octane-worker.log

Using supervisor to start laravel queue worker process, we have to create a docfunc-queue-worker.conf config file in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/.

[program:docfunc-queue-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/docfunc/artisan queue:work --sleep=3 --tries=3 --max-time=3600
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
user=www-data
numprocs=2
redirect_stderr=true
stopwaitsecs=3600
stdout_logfile=/var/log/docfunc-queue-worker.log

Set crontab to run Laravel Task Schedule.

Editing crontab.
