Deploying TYPO3
===============
-This guide outlines the steps required to manually deploy TYPO3 and ensure the installation
-is secure and ready to be used in a production context. This guide also highlights a number of
-automation tools that can help automate the deployment process.
+.. _deployment-git-composer:
+
+Using Git and Composer on the webserver
+=======================================
+
+* Check if Composer is available on the production server. If it is not
+ available consider to use the
+ `latest composer.phar `__.
+* Keep all development related files in a Git repository.
+* Clone this repository on your production server.
+* Copy the database to the production server.
+* Install TYPO3 without dev dependencies on the production server:
+
+ .. code-block::
+
+ composer install --no-dev
+
+* Compare the database
+* Fix file permissions
+* Clear caches
+
+.. todo: Link these steps once documented
-There are several different ways to deploy TYPO3. One of the more simple
-options is to manually copy its files and database
-from a local machine to the live server, adjusting the configuration where
-necessary.
+If you do a `composer install` directly on the production server you might
+experience some problems. For this reason some developers and administrators
+decide not to do it:
-General Deployment Steps
-========================
+* There can be several minutes of downtime even if the installation goes
+ smoothly.
+* The installation might fail if some packages are not available.
+* You might accidentally call `composer update` as is often done during
+ development and do unintended, untested updates.
+* You might omit the `--no-dev` option and accidentally install packages
+ that are not save to be used during production.
+
+Some of these problems can be fixed by using a symlink strategy where one
+directory is running on production and another one is being updated.
+
+.. _deployment-copy-files:
+
+Build locally and copy all files and symlinks to the server
+===========================================================
* Build the local environment (installing everything necessary for the website)
* Run :bash:`composer install --no-dev` to install without development dependencies
* Copy files to the production server
* Copy the database to the production server
-* Clearing the caches
+* Compare the database
+* Fix file permissions
+* Clear caches
+
+.. todo: Link these steps once documented
+
+There can be several problems with this strategy:
+
+* Copying files or unzipping files can be slow, there can be several minutes
+ of downtime.
+* A TYPO3 installation depends on symlinks. Make sure these symlinks are
+ preserved during copying and or compressing files.
-.. note::
+.. _deployment-automatic:
- The :bash:`composer install` command should not be run on the live environment.
- Ideally, Composer should only run locally or on a dedicated deployment machine,
- to allow testing before going live.
+Automatic deployment
+====================
- To avoid conflicts between the local and the server's PHP version,
- the server's PHP version can be defined in the :file:`composer.json` file
- (e.g. ``{"platform": {"php": "8.2"}}``), so Composer will always check
- the correct dependencies.
+There are multiple tools that can be used to automate deployment. Read more
+about it: :ref:`TYPO3 Explained, automatic deployment `.
