Allow sync/xcopy deploy #282

Closed PaulHuizer closed 6 years ago

PaulHuizer commented 6 years ago

I tested ASP.Net Core 2.0 on IIS. All my apps sofar written in WebApi2 are updated by simply copying (xcopy/sync/ftp) new version in the site folder. IIS takes care of loading new versions without further ado in the deployment scripts. Using ASP.NET Core 2.0 I could not get this to work, since the process is alive and keeps underlying files open/locked. I hope this deployment method can be achieved somehow.

There have been a few issues about this in the past. Given that there are no AppDomains in .NET Core, it seems contrived to re-introduce shadow copying in ANCM. While not quite the same as xcopy deploying, I'd recommend using the appOffline feature in ANCM instead.

  1. Drop an appOffline.htm file and wait for your app to gracefully shutdown
  2. Replace your app contents.
  3. Remove appOffline
