Symfony 4 how to properly deploy to production?

Question

symfony

Hello guys.
The Symfony documentation says that the /public/build folder must be kept in .gitignore
https://symfony.com/doc/current/frontend/encore/fa...
Then when pushing to the production server, this folder will not be there.
And doing build assets on the server is also not right.
So what is the correct solution?
Thanks to.

Answer 1

Building the frontend is best done locally. For example, I usually use Ansible for such things.
Here's an example of what it might look like in a shell script (you can just copy and execute commands on the command line step by step and see what happens):

#!/bin/sh

# Создание временной директории
cd "$(mktemp --directory)";

# Клонирование репозитория во временную директорию
git clone https://github.com/symfony/demo .;

# Извлечение ветки для релиза
git checkout master;

# Установка зависимостей фронтенда
npm install

# Сборка фронтенда
node_modules/.bin/encore production

# Загрузка кода из временной директории на сервер при помощи rsync

# Остальные действия производятся уже на сервере

Answer 2

Build locally, archive, unzip on the server.
Use deployment automation tools for this.
