Creating a web server from a git source?

Hello, i’m searching for alternatives to Plesk and I found HestiaCP.

The demo and UI seems nice and easy to use. But i have a question : with plesk i’m using a lot the possibility to create a site from a git repository (cauz i’m developping webapps) and i could not find something about this in HestiaCP

So my question is simple : is it possible to do that :

  • Create a new website from a git repository ?
  • Do git updates and git checkouts for version management ?
  • trigger post upgrade cli actions like :
    • php bin/console doctrine:migration:migrate
    • or php bin/console cache:clear

If not currently possible would it be considered to put it in the roadmap ?

Kind regards and thanks in advance for your attention,
Pascal

I’m also wondering the same thing as OP.

I have setup forjego myself via HCP, with a separate folder location. HCP I have used only for DNS and SSL. Otherwise I work from the forjego folders itself.
Although, good point, I too have few things I wish to run, but not sure how to via HCP.

There are templates though available in HCP.

For the old docs we just use:

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/hestia/web/docs.hestiacp.com/public_html/
if git remote update ; then
    if git status -uno | grep -q 'Your branch is behind'; then
        date -u
        make clean
        git pull
        make html
        date -u
        echo "Updated successfully"
    fi
else
    echo "Failed"
fi

cd /home/hestia/web/hestiacp.com/public_html/

wget -q -O .version https://api.github.com/repos/hestiacp/hestiacp/releases/latest
