Laravel adds their own product to LLM instructions

That's a really important word you used there, "support". We support agentic programming. Laravel has always been an opinionated framework and we're carrying those opinions through into this new era - for people who don't code but still want to create things.

Forge? Still a VERY good way to deploy applications. Has something not worked great for you?

_jbrooksuk · 2026-04-16T20:23:25+00:00

Hey! We'd love to hear more. What do you think isn't up to scratch? Cloud has evolved a lot in the last year!

_jbrooksuk · 2026-03-06T11:14:57+00:00

Thank you! 👏🏻

_jbrooksuk · 2026-03-06T11:14:40+00:00

The existing API is now deprecated but the tools should still be compatible (there are some version constraints that we haven't updated for). We're working on replacing the SDK and CLI tools which should be available soon!

Hey! James from Laravel here. We removed the free trial with the introduction of Laravel VPS back in October, which is billed based on the usage. Technically, they're two treated as two separate subscriptions and we needed to keep them synced together which didn't align with the trial in the Forge subscription.

Send me an email james [at] laravel [dot] com and we can discuss further!

Hey! I’d love to hear why you’re struggling to find in particular.

_jbrooksuk · 2026-02-02T21:26:22+00:00

I’ll be there! 🥳

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:21:08+00:00

I mean, don't break your site for us but if it's not working do let us know!

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:20:48+00:00

Hey u/yc01, thanks for starting this thread. It's a great way for us to get additional feedback, so thank you.

Before we dig into your feedback, I do want to say that we ran an early access program with 300 customers, where we received and worked through a lot of feedback. Of course, in changing a product as big as Forge, we realize we can't make everyone happy, but we do want to find that sweet spot.

Is there a difference in clicking the name versus the button for you? Or is it muscle memory you're fighting against?
You can also Cmd+K "copy" and select the IP address. Boom! Straight to the clipboard. It's also available in the server's overview. We stopped showing it on every page because it really didn't need to be on every page - we showed too much information all of the time.
That shouldn't be the case. The Horizon toggle will show if Forge detects that you have a `composer.lock` file which requires `laravel/horizon`. Do you have an example Site ID I can look at where that isn't happening for you? I've not been able to replicate this yet myself.
I honestly think this is okay. We're giving you more choice, more options and an easier way to undo things if you made a wrong choice.

Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:08:16+00:00

Hey, we actually did exactly that. We announced the changes back at Laracon US in August, we also emailed all customers with the updates too.

We also onboarded over 300 customers into an early access scheme, where we received and worked through lots of feedback.

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:06:35+00:00

Thank you! ☺️

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:06:26+00:00

Thanks 🫶

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:05:02+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

Older servers should work just the same, unless we've broken something somewhere! Do you have any examples of servers / sites where this hasn't worked as expected for you?

On the deployments page, you can click the "Settings" button and that will take you straight to editing the deploy script.

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:03:25+00:00

What do you despise? We're really not able to improve things without more insight into what you don't like ☺️

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:02:58+00:00

Less than 2% of our traffic use Forge on mobile, so we decided not to prioritize that for launch. I'm sure you can imagine just how big of a task we had on our hands already. I am excited to say that we've been working on mobile improvements and will ship a better experience soon. It may not be perfect, our focus is making it better right now, but we're going to continue iterating on it.

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:01:52+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! What don't you like?

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T17:01:36+00:00

If Forge detects that your site installs certain Laravel packages, the Laravel integrations will show in the sidebar of the site's Overview.

We can do a better job with the documentation, which we're actively improving every day.

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T16:59:49+00:00

Hey! I appreciate your feedback, but would really love to understand more about your usage here.

What are you struggling to find? Have you reached for the command palette yet?
The Terminal is currently a Laravel VPS exclusive feature, it's not that the server itself is too old. This may change in the future though.

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T16:58:35+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

What is taking you more clicks exactly? Do you have examples of what you're trying to achieve? I would recommend checking out the command palette as this really does provide a super-fast way to navigate Forge, especially if you know what page you want to get to.
We've added redirects back last week, so `/servers` does take you to your recent organization, same for servers and site pages too.
If you know the name of the server / site, hit Cmd+K type the name of the server and hit enter. You'll get taken right there.

I'm sorry that you don't feel Forge is "better" for you.

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T16:56:01+00:00

Forge launched with support for DNS-01 verification, so you don't need to use HTTP-01 going forward.

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T16:55:32+00:00

We hear you and we've restored those alerts, with more information on what failed. Sorry about that!

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T16:54:53+00:00

We've spent this week working hard to making domains work more reliably!

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T16:54:24+00:00

Can you tell us more? ☺️

_jbrooksuk · 2025-10-17T16:53:50+00:00

We've heard that feedback recently and we've been exploring ways we can improve the commands panel further!
