Deployment To Multiple Hosts

Anton Monakov

With PhpStorm’s deployment capabilities, you can copy files and folders to remote servers. As a destination, you can use FTP/SFTP/FTPS as well as a local or mounted folder.

You may often need to deploy to multiple servers: For example, if you have several instances of an application, or you need to deploy parts of an application to different servers. Previously, you would need to repeatedly upload your files to each server separately. In PhpStorm 2018.3, we’ve added server groups to address this.

Now you can add as many groups as you wish with an arbitrary number of destinations in each group. Then you can deploy your files to all servers in a group simultaneously, in one click!

To get started, navigate to Settings / Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Deployment and add a server group, just like you would do with a regular server:

Next, create some servers in a group, or, to add an existing server, drag it into the group:

That’s it, you are now ready to deploy to the entire group at once:

Common deployment tasks, such as uploading files automatically or after a commit, is now available for server groups, too.
