laravel-forge
Manage Laravel Forge servers, sites, deployments, databases, integrations, and more via the Forge API.
Why use this skill?
Automate Laravel Forge server management, site deployments, and database configuration effortlessly with the OpenClaw Laravel Forge API skill.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/florianbeer/laravel-forgeWhat This Skill Does
The laravel-forge skill provides a powerful interface for interacting with the Laravel Forge API, enabling OpenClaw agents to manage server infrastructure, site deployments, database configurations, and service orchestration directly via CLI. By wrapping the robust Laravel Forge API into a single, cohesive bash execution layer, it allows users to automate complex cloud orchestration tasks without leaving their terminal environment or manually navigating the Forge dashboard.
Installation
Installation is straightforward. First, install the skill using the command clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/florianbeer/laravel-forge. Once installed, you have two primary configuration methods. The recommended approach is creating a configuration file located at ~/.openclaw/credentials/laravel-forge/config.json. Populate this file with a JSON object containing your API token and preferred organization slug. Alternatively, you may export these as environment variables (LARAVEL_FORGE_API_TOKEN and LARAVEL_FORGE_ORG) in your shell profile. Always ensure your token is generated via your Forge Profile settings before proceeding.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for DevOps engineers and developers who require rapid infrastructure modifications. Key use cases include automated environment provisioning where you need to spin up new sites, configure database users, or manage firewall rules across multiple organizations programmatically. It is also ideal for handling repetitive maintenance tasks like cycling supervisor processes, updating Nginx templates, or monitoring server health via the Forge monitor API. Whether you are managing a small personal project or an extensive fleet of enterprise servers, this skill reduces the manual overhead of server management.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, list all servers under my production organization and check if the Nginx service is currently running on the primary web server."
- "Please create a new database named 'analytics_prod' on the server with ID 98765 and assign a new restricted user to it."
- "Trigger a new deployment for the 'marketing-site' domain and notify me when the deployment status changes to finished."
Tips & Limitations
When using this skill, always leverage the --org flag if you belong to multiple organizations to prevent accidental modifications in the wrong scope. Note that while this skill provides extensive coverage of the Forge API, it is subject to the rate limits imposed by the Laravel Forge platform. For security, ensure your API tokens are stored in protected files and never commit them to version control. If a specific resource type or action is missing, you can extend the base bash script provided in the source repository to handle custom API calls.
