Incremental deployment

After the initial deployment, incremental deployments are used to update code and configuration.

Steps:

Prepare the updated version locally:

  • Apply code or configuration changes

  • Run:

    composer install --no-dev
    Copied!

Transfer only updated files to the server

Include:

  • public/ (excluding fileadmin/, uploads/)
  • config/
  • vendor/
  • composer.lock
  • etc.

Do not include dynamic or environment-specific files such as:

  • var/, public/fileadmin/, (these are managed on the server)

You can speed up the transfer using archive tools like zip or tar, or use rsync to copy only changed files.

If database changes are required:

  • Run the Upgrade Wizard in the TYPO3 backend
  • Or apply schema changes via CLI tools

Flush TYPO3 caches:

./vendor/bin/typo3 cache:flush
Copied!
