AUTHORIZED ADMIN TOOLING

Website Deployment

The current release includes a scoped website deployment endpoint and a matching application-side website package.

Sites that predate the deployment endpoint require one manual bootstrap update through Website Admin → Site Update. After that, authorized application deployments can update the website directly.

Procedure

  1. In Website Admin → System, create an API token with the site.update scope.
  2. If the live site predates the deployment endpoint, apply the current DomainCommandPost-Website-Update ZIP from Website Admin → Site Update once.
  3. Open the authorized application Website Deployment control.
  4. Enter the site base URL and scoped token, then Check Website.
  5. Choose Deploy Website Update. The package SHA-256 is verified before the server updater applies it.
  6. The website creates its normal backup, protects local configuration/uploads, applies the update and returns the backup ID.
  7. The application verifies the public version endpoint and only completes after the live website reports the matching release.
  8. The token is cleared after use and is not saved in application settings.
