PHP and Nginx configuration
Run the application on a supported PHP version behind a managed Nginx website configuration.
Laravel server control panel
A server control panel for Laravel applications
Manage the hosting services around a Laravel application—from PHP and Nginx to databases, TLS, scheduled tasks, workers, monitoring, and backups—without assembling every server workflow by hand.

Who this is for
For Laravel developers, agencies, and product teams that deploy applications to infrastructure they control and want repeatable day-to-day server operations.
Databases with scoped users
Provision MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL databases without sharing administrative credentials with the application.
Scheduler and worker operations
Manage recurring commands and the long-running processes needed for common Laravel queue workloads.
Domains, TLS, and recovery
Keep DNS, Let’s Encrypt certificates, monitoring, backups, and access controls beside the application.
Concrete deployment example
Deploy a production Laravel application
A team can create a PHP website, connect its repository or release files, configure the public document root, provision a scoped database user, add the domain and certificate, and operate scheduled commands and workers as managed processes.
- Keep the environment file and application key out of source control.
- Run Composer installation, migrations, caches, and storage linking as controlled release steps.
- Verify queue restart behavior, scheduler execution, writable paths, logs, backups, and rollback.
A safer rollout
Test the complete workflow
Use a non-production server first. Confirm application requirements, resource capacity, security controls, and recovery before changing live traffic.
- 1Create the PHP website, select a supported runtime, and configure the Laravel public directory.
- 2Deploy the release, configure secrets and the database, then run required Composer and Artisan steps.
- 3Test HTTPS, queues, scheduled commands, logs, permissions, backups, restore, and rollback before directing production traffic.
Installation requirements and supported operating systems
Start with a fresh Linux server and root or sudo access. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is strongly recommended. Supported architectures: AMD64 and ARM64.
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, and 26.04 LTS
- Debian 12 and 13
- AlmaLinux 9 and 10
- Rocky Linux 9 and 10
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and 10
- Fedora Server 43 and 44
Size CPU, memory, disk, and network capacity for your applications and enabled services. Runtime versions and extensions depend on the operating system and architecture. Core Panel runs on Linux; Windows hosting stacks require a separate compatibility and migration assessment.
Use the official installer on the destination server, keep the terminal open until it finishes, and store the generated sign-in credentials securely. Check domains, application dependencies, backups, and recovery before moving live traffic.
Limitations to verify
Know what remains workload-specific
Core Panel manages hosting infrastructure around Laravel; it does not validate application code, Composer packages, migrations, queue semantics, cache topology, zero-downtime releases, or horizontal scaling. Confirm the required PHP version and extensions and rehearse the complete release and rollback process.
Frequently asked questions
Does Core Panel install Laravel for me?
Core Panel provides the server and website workflows around a Laravel deployment. Your release process remains responsible for application code, Composer dependencies, configuration, migrations, and framework commands.
Can Laravel use PostgreSQL?
Yes. Core Panel supports scoped PostgreSQL databases and users as well as MySQL and MariaDB. Confirm the PHP extensions and application configuration required by your project.
Can I run queues and scheduled commands?
Core Panel provides managed process and scheduled-task workflows. Test worker restart behavior, timeouts, retries, overlapping jobs, and failure handling for your application before launch.
