Restarting php-fpm on Cloudways servers from a [Deployer](https://deployer,org) file.
=====================================================================================

[](#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

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

You need a [Cloudways](https://www.cloudways.com) account and server, an api key, and the id of the server you want to restart services on.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

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

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

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your `deploy.php` script, include [restart-php-fpm.php](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');
```
