Deploying to Umbraco

How do you deploy Umbraco?

 

Up until this point, I was either working on the occasional file which could just be copied or just working via the cms website.  But when you have a larger deployment, the ordering of items becomes important.  So here's my initial checklist.  Now to figure out how to automate more of this.

 

Standard Deployment steps:

1) Backup files from environment

2) Create any new Relation Types in Umbraco CMS

3) Create any new Data Types in Umbraco CMS

4) Create any new masterpages in Umbraco CMS

5) Import any new Doc Types in Umbraco CMS (order is important)

6) Create any Dictionary Items

7) Alter Doc Types to allow for updated Templates / Structure

8) Copy files to environment

9) Create Macros

10) Create nodes

11) Update nodes
