I need a fresh Compute Engine instance spun up on Google Cloud Platform running the latest long-term-support release of Ubuntu. After provisioning, you will: • Secure the server (SSH keys, ufw, fail2ban, automatic updates). • Install and configure Nginx as the reverse-proxy / web server. • Install PHP-FPM (current stable) with common extensions required by Laravel. • Install and tune PostgreSQL, then create an initial super-user and empty database. • Pull a clean Laravel skeleton into /var/www, set correct permissions, and confirm that php artisan migrate runs without errors. • Configure Nginx server blocks so that visiting the external IP shows Laravel’s welcome page over HTTP and HTTPS (Let’s Encrypt certificate). • Deliver a simple bash script or documented steps so I can reproduce the build on another VM if needed. Acceptance criteria 1. SSH to the instance returns a secured Ubuntu prompt. 2. https://<server_ip> loads Laravel’s default page with a valid SSL padlock. 3. php -v and psql both return expected version information. 4. Page load time on a first visit is under two seconds. Provide the final external IP, the shell script or commands used, and any credentials created (delivered via Freelancer chat or another secure channel). Once these items are verified, the job is complete.

Hi, **GCP + Ubuntu + Laravel is exactly my area of work.** I am a **Google Certified Cloud Architect** with strong GCP experience. The real issue is not installing packages one by one. It is getting a secure Laravel server ready without surprises. My solution: • Harden the GCP VM before application setup. • Configure Nginx, PHP-FPM and PostgreSQL correctly. • Deploy Laravel with safe file and process permissions. • Configure HTTP, HTTPS and Let’s Encrypt cleanly. • Tune the stack so the first response stays fast. • Document every command so the build can be repeated. I regularly work with Ubuntu, Nginx, PHP, Laravel and cloud servers. I can also provide a reproducible shell script for another VM. I would build this on GCP from a clean instance, then verify SSH, PHP, PostgreSQL, Laravel and HTTPS.

I've spent 20+ years running Linux servers, and provisioning a fresh Ubuntu LTS box on GCP with a secured Nginx, PostgreSQL and Laravel stack is bread-and-butter. The provisioning is quick; what matters is the hardening and that the stack actually serves your app. My work: - Spin up Compute Engine on the latest Ubuntu LTS. - Secure it: SSH keys only, ufw, fail2ban, automatic security updates. - Install and configure Nginx, PostgreSQL and PHP for Laravel, with TLS. - Deploy your app and confirm it serves, with a short setup doc. You get a hardened, working server and the steps to reproduce it. One thing to confirm: is the Laravel app in a repo I pull, and do you have a domain for TLS? I can start right away.

I have this exact stack running on GCP. I'll spin up an e2 instance on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, set up Nginx, PostgreSQL, and PHP-FPM tuned for Laravel, lock down the firewall rules, and hand you SSH access plus a short doc of what's installed. Can have it live within 24 hours, starting now. Budget and timeline here are ballpark based on the post. Once I know your Laravel version and expected traffic I'll firm up the exact numbers. Want me to get started?

Hi, Do you already have the GCP project and billing configured, or should I handle the VM provisioning setup as well? I can provision and secure the GCP Compute Engine Ubuntu server, configure SSH keys, UFW, Fail2ban and automatic updates, then install and tune Nginx, PHP-FPM, PostgreSQL and Laravel. I’ll also configure the Nginx server block, Laravel permissions, database, migrations and Let’s Encrypt SSL, then verify PHP, PostgreSQL, HTTPS and initial page performance against your acceptance criteria. I’ll provide the final server IP along with a reproducible Bash script/documented commands for future deployments. Best regards, usman

Hi, I can set up your GCP Ubuntu instance to run Laravel with all the required configurations. I have a strong background in securing servers, configuring Nginx, and managing PHP-FPM,having completed similar projects for clients needing quick, reliable Laravel setups. Here’s my approach: I'll provision the instance, secure it with SSH keys and UFW, and configure Nginx as your reverse-proxy while ensuring PostgreSQL is tuned and ready. You’ll receive a bash script for replicating the setup later. I can complete this for $150 in 1 day. What PHP extensions should I include for your Laravel application?
