Additional SSH command phase

Feature Request

There should be a SSH command phase that combines “Before Release Link” and “After Changes” that works across regular and zero-downtime servers.

    This along with path and release_path matching would allow me to have one set of SSH commands that would with across server types.

      Hello @James Fenwick,

      Can you please explain what's the current use case that's not supported? Why not just use the After Changes?

      Thank you!

        Hi,

        For example I want to install Composer dependencies in a PHP project.

        If I used “After Changes” it would run after the release directory was linked, risking downtime.

          Okay, and why aren't you using the Build Pipeline for that?

            I don’t really want to transfer an additional ~500MB from the build server.

            Another example of a command that I would run in the same hypothetical phase would be database migrations, which would need to be on the server to run anyway.
