Laravel Passport has a passport:install command. However, this command cannot be run in Lambda because it needs to write files to the storage/ directory.
Instead, here is what you need to do:
### Generate keys locally
Run the following command on your machine to generate key files:
```bash
php artisan passport:keys
```
This will generate the `storage/oauth-private.key` and `storage/oauth-public.key` files, which need to be deployed.
Depending on how you deploy your application (from your machine, or from CI), you may want to whitelist them in `serverless.yml`:
```yml filename="serverless.yml"
package:
patterns:
- ...
# Exclude the 'storage' directory
- '!storage/**'
# Except the public and private keys required by Laravel Passport
- 'storage/oauth-private.key'
- 'storage/oauth-public.key'
```
### Deploy
You can now redeploy the application:
```yaml
serverless deploy
```
Note, that during deployment the keys will be stored at `./storage` path not at `/var/task/storage`. Workaround for this is to adjust Passport path with `Passport::loadKeysFrom('storage')`.
### Create tokens
Finally, you can create the tokens (which is the second part of the `passport:install` command):
```bash
serverless bref:cli --args="passport:client --personal --name 'Laravel Personal Access Client'"
serverless bref:cli --args="passport:client --password --name 'Laravel Personal Access Client'"
```
All these steps were replacements of running the passport:install command from the Passport documentation.
