Question 1

How do I add custom commands to Laravel Terminal?

Accepted Answer

Create a command class that implements the TerminalCommand interface, as shown in the README with the Inspire example, then add it to the 'commands' array in the config file to extend functionality.

Question 2

Is Laravel Terminal safe to use on a production server?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed for development; the README config enables it only with APP_DEBUG, and a web-based terminal can be exploited, so it's not recommended for live environments without robust security measures.

Question 3

What commands are included out of the box with Laravel Terminal?

Accepted Answer

It comes with artisan, artisan tinker, find, mysql, tail, vi, and cleanup commands, which handle common Laravel and shell operations like database queries and file management.

Question 4

Laravel Terminal vs SSH: which is better for Laravel development?

Accepted Answer

Laravel Terminal offers browser convenience for quick commands without SSH access, but SSH provides full terminal control and is more secure; choose based on your need for accessibility versus security.

Question 5

How can I restrict Laravel Terminal access to specific IP addresses?

Accepted Answer

Configure the 'whitelists' array in the config file to include trusted IPs, as mentioned in the installation section, and use middleware like auth for additional protection.

Question 6

Does Laravel Terminal work with older Laravel versions like 5.1?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the README notes a caveat: for Laravel 5.1, you must remove the web middleware from the route configuration to avoid compatibility issues.
