Cipi
Easy Laravel deployments.·cipi.sh
Cipi is a Laravel-first open-source deploy CLI that also supports static sites and generic PHP applications. A single command installs a complete production stack (Nginx, PHP-FPM or Laravel Octane on FrankenPHP, MariaDB or PostgreSQL, Valkey, Supervisor) on any Ubuntu VPS, turning one server into a multi-app hosting platform with isolated users, zero-downtime Git deployments, SSL, and backups. It ships a REST API, a remote CLI client, an MCP server for AI agents, and an optional self-hosted web control panel.
