I have hosted around 20 Laravel websites with WordOps.
For the folder path, do this.
For example, the website is example.com. So the clone or copy the Laravel folder to the following path /var/www/example.com/laravel
and then you need to symbol link using this command
first cd to /var/www/example.com
, then ln -s laravel/public/ htdocs
this way the Laravel .env files are not exposed to the public.
