Laravel Octane on FrankenPHP. Horizon and Reverb in one line. PostgreSQL next to MariaDB. Frontend builds on deploy, database snapshots before every migration, wildcard certificates and built-in health checks. Same one-command server. Fourteen new superpowers.
Everything Cipi 5 adds, at a glance. Tap any tile to jump straight into the documentation.
Boot the framework once and keep it in memory. Octane apps and classic PHP-FPM apps run side by side on the same server — Nginx proxies to the Octane process, Supervisor keeps it alive, every deploy reloads it cleanly.
Two engines on one box. Pick per app or set a server-wide default — env, backups and restores follow.
Supervised, and restarted on every release.
Websockets proxied through Nginx, over SSL.
Run the build inside the release, right after dependencies. Fail-closed, so broken assets never reach production — and compiled files never reach your repository.
Cron on or off per app, from the CLI.
Switch runtime on a live app, both ways.
Opt in per app or per deploy and Cipi dumps the database before the release goes out. A bad migration becomes recoverable instead of fatal.
Clone a production app onto a new domain.
No app can starve the box any more.
Issue and renew through a Cloudflare DNS-01 challenge when a public HTTP endpoint isn't an option. HTTP-01 stays the default.
Every 5 minutes. Email after 3 failures.
www or apex, aliased and 301'd for you.
Restore the redirect without reissuing.
The honest before-and-after. Left is what running these things used to cost you. Right is Cipi 5.
The complete Cipi 5 addition to the CLI. Same syntax you already know, same one binary.
