    Install package automatically after deployment

    Hey,

    we are preparing our development/deployment process. In order to a nightly build we want to update templates and some content paths after a deployment automatically.

    Updating file system is no problem and already running.

    Is there any best practice to do this? Cant find any out of the box solution.

    Thanks Thobias

    Solved.

    For anyone who want to know how:

    1. Take a look here: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/umport

    2. Install via Umbraco Package Dialog on local and deployed Umbraco environment.

    3. Configure *.config like the description in mentioned.

    4. Check generated xml files into your repository

    5. Build your project and publish the generated xml files from point 4 with your CI

    6. Add a new deployment step to send a post request. For me its a powershell script. eg.:

    param (
   [String]$url=$(throw "url must be specified."),
   [String]$apikey=$(throw "apikey must be specified.")
)

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Accept", 'application/json')

$JSON = @{
  dataTypes = "CUD"
  templates = "CUD"
  documentTypes = "CUD"
  macros = "CUD"
  mediaTypes = "CUD"
  memberTypes= "CUD"
  memberGroups = "CUD"
  languages = "CUD"
  dictionaryItems = "CUD"
}

$uri = "$url/umbraco/api/umport/import?apiKey=$apikey"

Write-Host "POST Request send to:         $uri"
Write-Host "POST Data:                    $JSON"


Invoke-WebRequest -uri "$uri" -Headers $headers -Method POST  -Body $JSON -usebasicparsing

    Powerhell script can placed in repository too. With params you can control the url and apikey within deployment process. The "-usebasicparsing" is important when you want to run this on a VisualStudio Teams deployment process.
