Daemons in Laravel Forge

For long-running scripts, daemons are employed. As an example, we can launch a daemon to maintain a ReactPHP application. The supervisor will automatically restart the process whenever it stops working.

We must give Forge the following details when creating a new daemon:

• Command: The action that the daemon is supposed to take.
• User: The appropriate user for the operating system to use when executing the command. The forge user will be employed by default.
• Directory: The location from which to execute the operation. We may leave this blank.
• Processes: Using this option, we may choose how many instances of a process to keep active.
• Start Seconds: The entire amount of time the program must run before it can be said that the start was successful.
• Stop Seconds: The amount of time the supervisor will give the daemon to terminate gracefully before forcing it to do so.
• Stop Signal: When a stop is requested, this signal is used to end the program.

We can use the following code to manually restart a daemon. To reload the daemon after deployment, we may also perform this within the deployment script for the application.

The daemon’s ability to write to its own log file is automatically configured by Forge. We need to travel to the .forge directory within the /home/username directory based on the user that the process belongs to in order to find the daemon’s log files if we are using Forge’s user isolation capabilities.

We can give a circle member the ability to make and control daemons by giving the server:create-daemons and server:delete-daemons permissions.
