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
