This document discusses deploying Drupal sites to production. It covers updating modules, themes, content and Drupal core across environments. It recommends using staging environments identical to live and automated deployments for zero downtime. Various tools are presented for syncing files and databases between environments like Drush, rsync, Git and MySQL dump/restore. A use case demonstrates maintaining a small multi-environment site using these techniques.

- 1. Drupal Portugal “Deployto production on Drupal” 18.06.2011 - Lisbon - Portugal 1 Paulo Gomes - www.pauloamgomes.net
- 2. Updating Drupal Specific updateson: Modules Themes Content Core Multi sites feature – same Drupal Core, different sites 2
- 3. Updating Drupal (cont) Filesystem PHP Code (Templates, includes,...) Static files (CSS, JS, Media files) Configuration files (.htaccess files, settings.php) Database Configuration Content Caches 3
- 4. Environments DEV Low stability Developers usage Not always identical to live QA/Staging Testing, new functionalities validation Need to be identical to live Live/Production No downtimes allowed Content up to date Errors have high impact on business side 4
- 5. What wee need? Stagingmust be 100% identical to live Few downtimes or zero downtime Error proof Full automated deploy to live Simple and clean process 5
- 6. Approaches Different approaches =different results Different ways Full automated Semi Automated + manual steps Same results At the end all data is synced Different downtimes Automated means faster Automated means less errors 6
- 7. Tools A Ninja usesnot one, but various tools Every tool as own skills Many tools for same achievement, get focus only in one Different environments “Unixes”: Apple OS X, Linux, Solaris, … MS Windows A final solution is a mix of tools, each one has its own importance 7
- 8. Tools (cont) Syncing..Syncing..files Drush Rsync, Unison, etc.. Versioning Svn, Mercurial, Git Syncing again…database Mysql Drush Back & Migrate Drupal Module 8
- 9. Tools (cont) Syncing..Syncing..files Drush $ drush rsync @dev.mysite @local.mysite $ drush rsync ./ @local.mysite:%files/img Rsync, Unison, etc.. rsync ‐avz ‐e ssh /www/. pauloamgomes@www.pauloamgomes.net:/www/. ‐‐exclude ".DS_Store" ‐‐exclude ".localized" ‐‐exclude ".hg" 9
- 10. Tools (cont) Syncing again…database Mysql $ mysqldump ‐‐opt db_name > db.dump.sql $ mysql ‐‐database=db_name ‐u drupal ‐pdb_pass < db.dump.sql Drush $ drush sql‐dump ‐‐result‐file=db.dump.sql $ `drush sql connect` < db.dump.sql $ drush sql‐sync @dev.mysite @local.mysite ‐‐sanitize Backup & Migrate Drupal Module 10
- 11. A simple Usecase Maintaininga small site Some nodes with custom CCK Increasing nodes via Feeds Blog (CCK content and media files) Local Dev/staging environment Remote Live environment Shared hosting SSH/SFTP access 11
- 12. A simple usecase(cont) Dev/Stg Local machine running an AMP Stack (Acquia Stack) on OSX Apache on port 8082 (Acquia rule), using ipf w for port for warding (80 8082) Unix tools (rsync, etc..) Mercurial Version Control Live Shared hosting with ssh access Limited soft ware (perl, ruby gems) Limited configurations (no php.ini access) 12
- 13. A simple usecase(cont) 13
- 14. A simple usecase(cont) 14
- 15. More complex sites Complexitymeans more probability for errors and higher downtimes Downsizing environments Same Operating System and soft ware versions Same paths Same configurations Mysql, Apache Same tools Use of virtual environments Build tools (ant, phing) Virtual machines Use of cloud services 15
- 16. More complex sites(cont) Continuous integration Full automation, with high granularity Test..test..test..and test again Fix errors and test again Deploy to live (and test again) 16
- 17. Nice to have… Updateswithout maintenance mode Cache all for visitors/users (varnish help?!) No cache mode for sanity checks (admin mode) Rollback without impacts (visitors only see cached pages) Delta updates on database schema Validation on dependencies All operations in same command (drush) Better update tool (update.php) 17
