One of Laravel’s best features is its queue system. To run it in production, you need to install a daemon that starts the Laravel queue command, monitors it, and keeps it running. Traditionally, installing a daemon on the server requires SSH access and manually creating a Supervisor configuration file. However, with Fuse, I’ve made it easy to install any daemon—not just for Laravel queues—directly from the UI.

You only need to provide the command you want to execute. For Laravel queues, this would be something like php artisan queue:work. Specify the directory where the command should run, such as /home/fuse/myapp.com/current. Choose the user to run the command—usually, this is the fuse user. Set the number of processes to run, the stop wait time (usually 5 seconds), and the stop signal (typically TERM). Fuse takes care of the rest.

When you add a new daemon, Fuse installs it on your server by running a task script. This script creates the Supervisor config file in the correct location with your daemon settings, then instructs Supervisor to reread and update its config files.

The installation process is straightforward and saves you a lot of time, as you no longer need to SSH into the server or manually prepare the Supervisor config file.

Managing servers with Fuse is becoming much easier.
