How to deploy Flow Apps

Flow version options

The Flow version used in a project can be set using:

<?php
/** @var \TYPO3\Surf\Domain\Model\Deployment $deployment */

$application = new \TYPO3\Surf\Application\Neos\Flow();
$application->setVersion('4.0');

It defaults to 4.0, so if you are using an older Flow version, you need to set the version as x.y. This switches Surf behavior to call Flow commands correctly.

See the Neos example for more details.

Flow Configuration overrides

If the configuration of a Flow application should be different depending on the deployment configuration (e.g. database settings or external services) the TYPO3\Surf\Task\Neos\Flow\CopyConfigurationTask task can be used to override configuration after the code update (Git checkout).

If a Configuration folder exists inside a folder named after your deployment ~/.surf/deployments/MyDeployment every file in there will be copied to the release Configuration folder recursively.
