⚡ Quick Start

The short version, for when you already have a server with SSH access. For a step-by-step setup (server preparation, web server config, sudoers), see Getting Started.

# 1. In the root of your Git repository
versa init                                   # choose [1] SSH server

# 2. Edit deploy.yml (host, user, key_path, remote_path, builds), then commit it
versa config validate production
versa info production                        # tests SSH + SFTP and shows server info

# 3. First deploy
versa deploy production --initial-deploy

# 4. From now on
git commit -am "changes"
versa deploy production

Minimal deploy.yml:

project: "my-app"
environments:
  production:
    ssh:
      host: "your-server.com"
      user: "deploy"
      key_path: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
    remote_path: "/var/www/app"
    builds:
      php:
        enabled: true
    shared_paths:
      - ".env"                               # create /var/www/app/shared/.env on the server first
    services_reload:
      - "sudo systemctl reload php8.2-fpm"

Point your web server at /var/www/app/current/app/public.

[!TIP] Fresh server? Add provision: { ssh: { user: root }, domain: example.com } to the environment, run versa, open Services and press I to install the stack (or P to create just the deploy user, sudoers and directory). See SERVICES.md.

What a deploy does

1. Checks the working tree is committed and clones HEAD to a temp directory.
2. Compares file hashes with the server's deploy.lock; stops if nothing changed.
3. Builds locally (composer, npm, go, pip…), only for what changed.
4. Uploads the release in parallel chunks to releases/<timestamp>/.
5. Links shared_paths, switches current atomically, reloads services, runs post_deploy hooks, restarts services.
6. Rolls back automatically if a post_deploy hook, a service or the health check fails.

Cheat sheet

versa                                        # full-screen interface (TUI)
versa diff production                        # what would be deployed
versa deploy production --dry-run            # same, through the deploy flow
versa deploy production --force              # redeploy without changes
versa deploy staging,production              # several environments in a row
versa status production                      # releases on the server
versa rollback production                    # previous release
versa rollback production --to 20261001-183807
versa logs production                        # tail -f the Laravel log
versa exec production "df -h"                # any command on the server
versa hooks production                       # re-run post_deploy hooks
versa services-reload production             # re-run services_reload
versa service production                     # status of the Go/Python services
versa service production restart
versa service production logs --name api
versa deploy production --log-file deploy.log
