Host Company Website with Laravel: Public-Site Delivery

Deploy a company website built with Laravel on Ample using the public web service pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, and a published bucket serves public assets from the CDN host. Verified on Laravel: a versioned, immutable-cached asset uploaded to a published bucket and served from the CDN URL alongside the app's own public HTTPS URL. Not separately tested: your site content and build; treat the company website-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host company website with Laravel: public-site delivery
• Where can I host Company website built with Laravel?
• I need an explicit origin-to-CDN delivery path and a tested public content build.

Resource Requirements

• Compute
• CDN

Infrastructure Requirements

1. Compute
   Status: verified
   Summary: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.

2. CDN
   Status: verified
   Summary: The CDN host serves objects from published buckets. It does not front app compute and is not a cache or key-value store.

Framework

• Laravel

Workload

• Company website

Release Status

• Published

Support Status

• Verified

Execution Status

• Ready

Prerequisites

• A Laravel project that builds and starts with the documented commands (composer install --no-dev from composer.lock, then FrankenPHP serving public/ (php-server with the index.php fallback) reading PORT on the php-8.5 template)
• A bucket from ample bucket create with its credentials passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
• An Ample account token with servers:write, buckets:read

Tested Configuration

• Template: php-8.5
• Runtime: php
• Size: s-1vcpu-1gb
• Install: composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist --no-interaction --no-progress --optimize-autoloader
• Start: frankenphp php-server --listen :$PORT --root public

Workflow Steps

1. Build and Start
   composer install --no-dev from composer.lock, then FrankenPHP serving public/ (php-server with the index.php fallback) reading PORT on the php-8.5 template. The server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.

2. Wire Object Storage
   Create the bucket(s), then pass endpoint, region, bucket and keys as --env values. Use path-style addressing. Keep private data in an unpublished bucket. Publish only the bucket that serves public assets and reference its CDN URL.

3. Deploy
   Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). Re-running with no change is a no-op.
   Command: ample deploy . --name --public --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... --env CDN_PUBLIC_URL=...

4. Verify
   Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/versioned-static-assets) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read ample logs --kind build then --kind runtime.
   Command: ample logs --kind build

Limitations

• Verified on the php-8.5 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates, and Laravel major versions are not verified.
• The company website itself (your site content and build) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.
• Region, compliance attestations, and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.

Cost Estimate
