Kentico Website Project Deploy Teamcity

There are a few articles out there which discuss some of this already. It may not be exactly 100% what you want or need but it should give you an idea of where to get started.

I have already seen these articles, but as you say is not exactly what I looking for, I was hoping that Kentico had this covered in some way because you know, copy the complete CMS folder is not what I looking for. If someone has experienced this as well would be good start a conversation about to try to find ways to solve it.

Thanks Brenden!

Hi Nicolas,

We achieve this in Teamcity by using Microsoft Web Deploy. It's a service you install on the web server, you setup your site for web deploy which creates a username and password. If you use Azure Web Apps then this is already installed and setup and the details are available in your publish profile.

There is no native Teamcity build runner for it but you just create a CMD step that calls the msdeploy.exe in Teamcity and pass in the connection details and all the required parameters. Web deploy will only sync the changes based on timestamp or you can use checksum. You can exclude folders like media libraries using skip rules as well as files like robots.txt.

I hope that's enough to get you started and in the right direction.

Great information Andrew, this will be very helpful, I will start to dig further, thank you Andrew!
