Run your own Capell site on Laravel Cloud

The Capell website runs on Laravel Cloud, and you can run your own instance the same way. You'll need a Laravel Cloud account with billing set up - if you already have one, getting your site live takes a few minutes. From your Capell account you connect the account, choose a region, and Capell talks to Laravel Cloud to create the application, provision the database, inject the right environment, and trigger the first deployment - no servers to manage and no deploy scripts to write.

Your own instance Managed by Laravel Cloud Live in minutes

Capell, deployed to Laravel Cloud.

Use Laravel Cloud to host, scale, and operate Capell. We hand the application to Laravel Cloud and they take it from there — servers, databases, certificates, deploys, scaling.

  • Laravel Cloud runs your servers. No SSH, no provisioning, no patching.
  • Managed database, included. Provisioned and linked to your app on first deploy.
  • Push-to-deploy from day one. Capell wires the first deployment for you.

Step by step

How setting up on Laravel Cloud works

You don't touch infrastructure. Capell coordinates the Laravel Cloud API end to end and records every step against your cloud instance, so the first deployment is repeatable and observable.

  1. Step 1 Sign in to your Capell account

    Create a Capell account or sign in. This is where you start your instance and manage it once it's live.

  2. Step 2 Connect your Laravel Cloud account

    Authorise Laravel Cloud and make sure billing is set up. Capell uses your own account to provision and run the instance.

  3. Step 3 Choose your repository and region

    Point Capell at your repository, then pick a region. Capell verifies access and your Laravel Cloud token before anything is created.

  4. Step 4 Capell provisions and deploys

    Capell creates the Laravel Cloud application, a managed database, and the environment, then ships the first deployment and tracks it until it's live.

    Handled by Laravel Cloud

  5. Step 5 Make it your own

    Your instance goes live. Log into the Capell admin, upload your logo, edit pages, and point your own domain at it.

Capell-managed Cloud deploys vs doing it yourself

Laravel Cloud removes server management. Capell goes one step further and provisions and deploys it for you: application, managed database, linked environment, secure admin bootstrap, and the first deployment.

Area Capell on Laravel Cloud WordPress Drupal Contentful Webflow More
Setup Create the app, database, and env, then deploy by hand in Cloud Provision and harden your own server Configure a third-party platform and buildpacks Runs only on your machine Capell removes the manual provisioning steps.
Database Create and attach the database yourself in Cloud Install, secure, and back up your own database Add-on database with separate billing No production database Backups and scaling are handled for you.
Environment Set every variable and secret by hand Manage .env and secrets on the box Map platform config back to Laravel Not applicable Fewer first-boot mistakes.
Scaling and uptime The same Cloud features, configured manually You size, patch, and load-balance yourself Platform-dependent limits None Production hardening is included.
Ongoing deploys Push to deploy once it is configured Write and maintain your own deploy scripts Platform pipelines Manual export Day-two operations stay simple.

Everything provisioned for you

The same building blocks that run the Capell site are configured for your instance, so you start from a working production environment.

Managed database A managed database provisioned in your region and linked to the environment, with backups handled by Laravel Cloud. See backups
Edge and SSL Custom domains, automatic SSL, edge caching, and DDoS protection are configured without extra steps. Review security
Autoscaling Compute scales within limits you control and hibernates when idle, so you pay for what you use. See deployment
Operate from Capell Trigger deploys, run commands, manage domains and environment variables, and watch logs and metrics from your account. Customer accounts

Deploying to Laravel Cloud questions

These are the practical questions teams ask before deploying a Capell site to Laravel Cloud.

Do I need a Laravel Cloud account?

Yes. You run your own instance on your own Laravel Cloud account, so you'll need an account with billing enabled. If you already have one, Capell can provision and deploy in a few minutes; if not, you'll set that up first.

Get started
Do I need to manage servers?

No. Laravel Cloud runs the infrastructure and Capell coordinates the provisioning. You connect your account, and Capell handles the application, database, environment, and first deployment.

See deployment
Which database do I get?

Capell provisions a managed database in your selected region and links it to the environment automatically. Backups and scaling are handled by Laravel Cloud.

See backups
Can I still deploy on every push?

Yes. Once your instance is live you keep Laravel Cloud push-to-deploy, and you can also trigger deploys and run commands from your Capell account.

Explore platform
What does it cost to run?

You pay Laravel Cloud for the compute and resources you use; autoscaling and hibernation keep idle costs low. See Capell pricing for the platform itself.

How can Capell help me out?

Can I use Capell with my existing website?

Yes, when the project is a Laravel app or can move into one. Start with a verified install path, then migrate content and packages deliberately.

Read install path
