Remote Environment

You should use key-based authentication to avoid password prompts.

config.local.yml

In config.local.php on a developer's machine, that is to say the local perspective the remote environment will usually be either production/live or staging/test, e.g.,

local: dev
remote: live

However, this is how config.local.php should look on the production server--the remote perspective.

local: live
remote:

Default Configuration

environments:
  dev:
    write_access: true
  live:
    write_access: false
    base_path: /var/www/site.com/app
    ssh: foobar@123.mygreathost.com

Troubleshooting

ldp remote will connect you to the remote environment and cd to the base path. It you do not land in the base path, check ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile for the presence of a cd command in there. You will need to comment that out or remove that line if you wish for LDP to land you in the basepath.

.profile not loading on login

The app tries to connect as a login shell, but in some cases this may not be possible. If not then you may find that files such as .profile are not loaded and you're missing some configuration.

See the function default_on_remote_shell for more details.
