Deploy shopify app to production in ubuntu server

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Main issue: how to deploy a Shopify PHP app (based on the Shopify app template repo) to a production Ubuntu server (droplet), and whether Docker is needed.

Key points:

  • The original poster asked for a proper deployment approach, including whether Docker is required and how to deploy with Docker, requesting documentation.
  • A follow-up asked if a solution was found.
  • The resolution provided: the Shopify PHP app can be deployed on an Ubuntu server the same way a Laravel project is deployed.

What’s missing/unclear:

  • No step-by-step deployment details were shared (e.g., web server setup, env variables, queue, HTTPS, database).
  • No confirmation or guidance on Docker usage was provided.

Status: Partially resolved. The general approach (treat like Laravel deployment) is stated, but concrete instructions and Docker-specific guidance remain unanswered.
