README

Artisan support for Laravel / Firevel running on App Engine or Google Cloud Run. It can be used for remote command execution or Cloud Scheduler.

Installation

Install package:

composer require firevel/artisan

Publish config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Firevel\Artisan\ArtisanServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Usage

With Google Cloud SDK you can execute artisan commands directly from your command line. Make sure your user got cloudscheduler.jobs.run or appengine.runtimes.actAsAdmin permission.

After replacing {command} with artisan command (ex.: route:list) and {project} with your project name you can run:

curl -X POST -d "{command}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" -H "Accept: application/json" https://{project}.appspot.com/_artisan/call

If you are running multiple services, replace {service} with your service name and run:

curl -X POST -d "{command}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" -H "Accept: application/json" https://{service}-dot-{project}.appspot.com/_artisan/call

Using queues

If you would like to use queues to run your commands, you would need to set ARTISAN_CONNECTION and ARTISAN_QUEUE env variables first.

Default connection is set to cloudtasks and default queue is set to artisan. If you would like to use default configuration make sure:

• Cloud Tasks queue driver is installed.
• artisan queue is created in Cloud Tasks console. You can create queue by running gcloud tasks queues create artisan --max-attempts=1.

To dispatch command run:

curl -X POST -d "{command}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" https://{project}.appspot.com/_artisan/queue

or

curl -X POST -d "{command}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" https://{service}-dot-{project}.appspot.com/_artisan/queue

Google Cloud Scheduler

You can use this package to run commands using Cloud Scheduler.

Cloud Run

Add a job via the Cloud Scheduler page in the Google Cloud console. To begin, select the Target Type as HTTP, followed by specifying the URL field as https://{APP_URL}/_artisan/call, method POST, and the appropriate artisan command in the Body field (e.g., route:cache). For the Auth header, select "Add OICD token", and for the service account, select the default App Engine account. If you prefer to use a different service account, you will need to add the service account email to the configuration file under artisan.authorized_service_accounts.

Default artisan.authorized_service_accounts is:

    'authorized_service_accounts' => [
        env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT') . '@appspot.gserviceaccount.com',
    ],

Make sure your GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT is set if you are using default configutation.

App Engine

If you are using App Engine you can use standard cron.yaml file.

Security

Request validation is based on:

• GAE_SERVICE env variable with x-appengine-cron, x-google-internal-skipadmincheck, x-cloudscheduler and x-appengine-cron header
• or OIDC token validation if bearer token is JWT.
• otherwise it will validate bearer token using testIamPermissions

A possible weakness is sending a bearer token instead of a signature. In the event of a user entering a typo in the URL, the sensitive token may be sent to the incorrect service.

Warning

If you are using this package outside App Engine make sure GAE_SERVICE env is NOT set.
