Import coming soon
Bring your RunCloud server to Ploi as it is
The import that works for Laravel Forge today is being built for RunCloud. Ploi connects over SSH, scans the server you have and registers what it finds. You keep the machine and the IP, and your sites stay up while it runs.
- Sites keep their directory, system user and PHP version, and the existing users become Ploi system users with the SSH keys they already have.
- Certificates keep working. Ploi installs certbot and rewrites the nginx config in its own layout, after checking it with nginx -t, so renewals run through Ploi.
- Databases, database users, supervisor daemons, cron entries and firewall rules show up in the panel and are managed from there.
- Git remotes are linked as repositories, so you can deploy from Ploi with the deploy key that is already on the server.
