Description

The new Jenkins CI system for joomla.org should be utilized to automate code deployments for this repository. To that, the following steps are required:

  • Remove compiled assets from this repository
    • Laravel Mix manifest
    • SRI manifest
    • CSS/JS
  • Adjust the live server to support a minimal downtime deployment workflow
    • New deployments directory
  • Create a job on the Jenkins system to deploy changes for the application
    • Package is extracted to deployments provisioning space
    • Add some kind of "maintenance mode" (./artisan down and ./artisan up thing) to deploy database schema changes as required
    • Change public_html to point to new deployment

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's deployment configuration, the Jenkins system for joomla.org, and the live server's public_html layout. The work is complete when compiled assets are removed, deployments can be staged with minimal downtime, required schema changes run with maintenance mode, and Jenkins switches public_html to the new deployment.
