Symlink is cached when deploying Laravel Octane

[cerbero90]

Hi everybody, a standard Laravel app can be run on an NGINX FastCGI server, however an Octane app needs a reverse proxy.

In a FastCGI server we can avoid the cache of the symlink pointing to the new release by using the following directives:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;

That is not possible in an NGINX reverse proxy and the symlink is getting cached, pointing to an old release.

Is there a way to avoid the symlink cache in an NGINX reverse proxy?

Thanks in advance for your help, this is how the NGINX config looks like:

location @octane  {
    set $suffix "";

    if ($uri = /index.php) {
        set $suffix ?$query_string;
    }

    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header Scheme $scheme;
    proxy_set_header SERVER_PORT $server_port;
    proxy_set_header REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000$suffix;
}

@cerbero90 this is not a deployer problem.
Octane create config in storage/logs/octane-server-state.json
and write down the path (ex: "publicPath": "\/...\/prod\/2408\/public")

artisan octane:reload can't fix this problem, the only solution i found -> stop / start octane (or just supervisor reload)

Reload will stop and restart? Not good. Probably octane needs support for resolving public path.

@Quiss Do you have any update on this? What's your current solution for this issue, that would provide least impact (downtime) ?

@HassanZahirnia Sorry i missed the notice. When deploy i raise "prev deploy" octane with another port

Deploy steps:

1. Run octane on current version as "deploy mode" && sleep for run worker (3-5 sec in my case)
2. Stop supervisor / Deploy / change symlink / migration / etc..
3. Run supervisor & sleep
4. Stop "deploy octane"
