Hi Team,
We are using Angular and MS SQL Standard edition. We have a need to deploy ASPNetZero application to about 100 customers on their own premise in a two tier setup of separate server for App and Database.
Do you have any recommended toolset/process for the deployment and periodic upgrades? Some customer may upgrade in skip cycles.
Thanks,
Kind Regards, Kumar Prashant

FWIW, if you're doing windows - I'd do powershell scripts for the setup. Make sure servers have remote management enabled, then you can do remote powershell on both boxes.
With that you could deploy MSSQL and configure it - then setup IIS etc and deploy the site.
For updates, I'd suggest you setup a "deployment" server in the cloud, then use github actions to build your deployment package- with the script updating the versions in a json file provided by a static URL.
Then, you could ping your deployment server one a regular basis and compare returned version to installed version, and alert admin for minor / major updates.
Your job could even download your updated scripts & builds and stage them for deployment during maintenance window.
Should be about 2 to 5 days worth of dev, testing, and documentation for a minimally viable solution.

Note, I think each version would probably want a script for doing the update with rollback upon failure.
Your PS script could dump the database, flip IIS to maintenance page, copy the folder with a rollback name while migrations are applied, deploy into the folder, smoke test the new site on migrations complete.
Or some variation of that.
I'd frankly do 3 scripts - a backup and rollback first - make sure those are bulletproof.
Sandwich your update between them. If anything goes wrong - revert.

Hi @KPCS
We don't provide a tool for this purpose. You need to create your own scripts for publishing the app. If you need any help regarding the AspNet Zero, we will be happy to help.
