# How to deploy Laravel applications {#how-to-deploy-laravel-applications}

If you would like to deploy a Laravel application a good starting point is to use Laravel Application class provided by Surf:

```php
<?php
/** @var \TYPO3\Surf\Domain\Model\Deployment $deployment */

$node = new \TYPO3\Surf\Domain\Model\Node('my.node.com');
$node
    ->setHostname($node->getName())
    ->setOption('username', 'myuser')
    ->setOption('phpBinaryPathAndFilename', '/usr/bin/php8.0');

$application = new \TYPO3\Surf\Application\Laravel();
$application
    ->setDeploymentPath('/var/www/html')
    ->setOption('baseUrl', 'https://my.node.com/')
    ->setOption('repositoryUrl', 'file://' . dirname(__DIR__))
    ->setOption('keepReleases', 3)
    ->setOption('composerCommandPath', 'composer')
    ->addNode($node);

$deployment
    ->addApplication($application)
    ->onInitialize(
        function () use ($deployment, $application) {
            $deployment->getWorkflow()
                ->beforeStage('transfer', \TYPO3\Surf\Task\Php\WebOpcacheResetCreateScriptTask::class, $application)
                ->afterStage('switch', \TYPO3\Surf\Task\Php\WebOpcacheResetExecuteTask::class, $application);
        }
    );
```
