ACI Orchard CMS

This repo contains the codebase for the OrchardCMS multitenant deployment I use to host multiple content sites in Microsoft Azure. Specifically it runs andrewconnell.com & MicrosoftCloudShow.com among others.

Why Maintain a Copy of Orchard Here?

I don't like the model Orchard offers where I deploy the code and upload modules and themes through the admin or installed by the gallery, rather I want all code preserved for XCOPY deployments.

The point is to have a source enlistment of the deployment with all my customizations in GitHub that includes all code I need to stand the deployment up but excludes all private configuration & settings data stored in Azure blob storage or Azure SQL Databases. Codebase updates are then applied using continious deployment (CD). Pushes to the master or dev branches notify Azure to pull the code and deploy the latest to a specific Azure Web App Deployment Slot.

More details on the configuration in the Docs.

This isn't a full source enlistment of the main OrchardCMS codebase, it's just the compiled website source + my stuff, specifically:

• Contents of Orchard.Web.zip for a specific OrchardCMS release.
• Add 3rd party modules I use in the site
• Add custom themes for sites
• Add any mandatory changes for use in Azure
