Software templates | fortrabbit docs

Pre-configured hosting settings for popular software to simplify app setup and deployment.

We maintain a list of hosting settings for popular software to be pre-configured for smooth setup. When setting up an app with Git deployment the repos will be parsed by the stack detector and the software will be detected automatically. If the software is not detected or setup without Git deployment is preferred, the software can be chosen by the user. Software templates are version aware (although just major versions).

Book matching components
Enable PHP extensions
Apply desired root path — to serve from the right location
Populate ENV vars — to connect to the database automatically
Suggest post deploy commands

This is especially handy with modern software that supports ENV var configuration and environment detection — like Laravel or Craft CMS do.

What it does not do

The software template will NOT install the selected software on your behalf. Installing software with composer is easy. We expect you to have a local development environment set up before. In many cases developers bring existing projects.

All software templates

One block per major version, as the platform applies it. Software that names no settings of its own deploys with the platform defaults.
