A step-by-step guide to deploying a Craft CMS installation on Laravel Forge. Covers creating a new site on Forge, selecting Craft CMS as the installer, configuring the database, and completing the installation wizard. Also includes brief introductions to both Craft CMS (a Yii-based CMS compared favorably to WordPress) and Laravel Forge (a VPS management tool supporting Linode and DigitalOcean). Note: this post is from 2014 and Forge later removed its auto-installers.
