PHP: Configure your service

This documentation is part of the Getting started guide. View the full guide here: How to get started with PHP on Stackhero.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers a ready-to-use PHP cloud solution that provides a host of benefits, including:

  • Deploy your application in seconds with a simple git push.
  • Use your own domain name and benefit from the automatic configuration of HTTPS certificates for enhanced security.
  • Enjoy peace of mind with automatic backups, one-click updates, and straightforward, transparent, and predictable pricing.
  • Get optimal performance and robust security thanks to a private and dedicated VM.

Save time and simplify your life: it only takes 5 minutes to try Stackhero's PHP cloud hosting solution!

The primary configuration you will need is your SSH public key. You can retrieve your public key by running one of these commands:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

or

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

If you do not have an SSH key pair yet, you can generate one using ssh-keygen on Linux and macOS or ssh-keygen.exe on Windows.

Once you have your public key, head over to the Stackhero dashboard, select your PHP service, navigate to the configuration page, and paste your key into the designated field.

Tip: If you would like to set your SSH public key for all future services, you can do so globally. Just click your profile picture in the top right corner of the dashboard, go to "Your profile", and paste your SSH public key there.
