Deployment Guide - ScrumGuides/ScrumGuide-ExpansionPack GitHub Wiki

This guide covers the -Deployment-Guide process for the Scrum Guide Expansion Pack using Azure Static Web Apps and GitHub Actions.

🌐 Live Sites

-Deployment-Guide Overview

The project uses Azure Static Web Apps for hosting with automated -Deployment-Guides triggered by GitHub Actions. The -Deployment-Guide pipeline supports multiple environments for different stages of -Development-Guide.

-Deployment-Guide Environments

🚀 Production Environment

  • URL: scrumexpansion.org - Live production site
  • Branch: main
  • -Configuration-Reference: staticwebapp.config.production.json
  • Hugo Config: hugo.yaml

🔄 Preview Environment

🐤 Canary Environment

Azure Static Web Apps -Configuration-Reference

Environment URLs

  • Production: Uses custom domain https://scrumexpansion.org
  • Preview: Azure Static Web Apps URL https://agreeable-island-0c966e810-preview.centralus.6.azurestaticapps.net
  • Pull Request Environments: Dynamic URLs https://agreeable-island-0c966e810-{PullRequestId}.centralus.6.azurestaticapps.net

Note: The baseURL in Hugo -Configuration-Reference files is typically set dynamically during the build process. Azure Static Web Apps automatically provides the correct URLs for each environment.

URL Pattern Explanation

  • agreeable-island-0c966e810: Azure-generated unique identifier for this Static Web App
  • preview: Dedicated preview environment for testing pre-production changes
  • {PullRequestId}: Replaced with actual PR number (e.g., agreeable-island-0c966e810-42.centralus.6.azurestaticapps.net for PR #42)
  • centralus.6.azurestaticapps.net: Azure region and domain suffix

Static Web App -Configuration-References

Each environment has its own -Configuration-Reference file:

{
  "routes": [
    {
      "route": "/",
      "serve": "/index.html",
      "statusCode": 200
    },
    {
      "route": "/en/*",
      "serve": "/en/index.html",
      "statusCode": 200
    },
    {
      "route": "/de/*",
      "serve": "/de/index.html",
      "statusCode": 200
    },
    {
      "route": "/es/*",
      "serve": "/es/index.html",
      "statusCode": 200
    },
    {
      "route": "/fr/*",
      "serve": "/fr/index.html",
      "statusCode": 200
    }
  ],
  "responseOverrides": {
    "404": {
      "serve": "/404.html",
      "statusCode": 404
    }
  },
  "mimeTypes": {
    ".pdf": "application/pdf"
  },
  "globalHeaders": {
    "Cache-Control": "public, max-age=31536000, immutable"
  },
  "navigationFallback": {
    "rewrite": "/index.html"
  }
}

Key -Configuration-Reference Features

  • Multi-language routing for i18n support
  • Custom 404 handling
  • PDF mime type -Configuration-Reference
  • Caching headers for performance
  • SPA fallback routing

GitHub Actions Workflow

Automated -Deployment-Guide Process

The -Deployment-Guide is triggered automatically when:

  1. Pull requests are created (creates staging -Deployment-Guides with unique URLs)
  2. Manual workflow dispatch is triggered
  3. Push to main deploys to production

Azure Static Web Apps Features

  • Automatic PR Environments: Each pull request gets a unique URL
  • Preview Environment: Dedicated preview environment for testing
  • Production -Deployment-Guide: Custom domain -Deployment-Guide
  • Automatic SSL: Managed SSL certificates
  • Global CDN: Worldwide content distribution

Current Workflow -Configuration-Reference

The actual GitHub Actions workflow is configured for Azure Static Web Apps:

name: Azure Static Web Apps CI/CD

on: workflow_dispatch

jobs:
  build_and_deploy_job:
    if: github.event_name == 'push' || (github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.event.action != 'closed')
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Build and Deploy Job
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          submodules: true
          lfs: false
      - name: Build And Deploy
        id: builddeploy
        uses: Azure/static-web-apps-deploy@v1
        with:
          azure_static_web_apps_api_token: ${{ secrets.AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_API_TOKEN_AGREEABLE_ISLAND_0C966E810 }}
          repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          action: "upload"
          app_location: "./site"
          api_location: ""
          output_location: "."

Manual -Deployment-Guide

Prerequisites for Manual -Deployment-Guide

  1. Azure CLI installed and configured
  2. Static Web Apps CLI installed
  3. -Deployment-Guide tokens configured

Local Build and Deploy

# Build for production
cd site
hugo --environment production --minify

# Deploy using Azure CLI
cd ../public
swa deploy --env production

Using GitHub CLI

# Trigger workflow manually
gh workflow run deploy.yml --ref main

# Check workflow status
gh run list --workflow=deploy.yml

Domain and SSL -Configuration-Reference

Domain Setup

  1. Configure DNS to point to Azure Static Web Apps
  2. Add custom domain in Azure portal
  3. SSL certificate is automatically managed by Azure

DNS -Configuration-Reference

# Production custom domain
CNAME scrumexpansion.org -> <static-web-app-url>

# -Development-Guide environments use Azure Static Web Apps URLs:
# Preview: https://agreeable-island-0c966e810-preview.centralus.6.azurestaticapps.net
# PR environments: https://agreeable-island-0c966e810-{PullRequestId}.centralus.6.azurestaticapps.net

-Troubleshooting-Guide -Deployment-Guides

Common Issues

Build Failures

# Check Hugo version locally
hugo version

# Test build locally
cd site
hugo --environment production --minify --verbose

# Check for template errors
hugo --templateMetrics

-Deployment-Guide Failures

  1. Check Azure Static Web Apps logs
  2. Verify GitHub Actions workflow
  3. Check -Configuration-Reference files
  4. Validate Hugo build output

SSL/Domain Issues

  1. Verify DNS -Configuration-Reference
  2. Check Azure domain settings
  3. Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours)
  4. Force SSL renewal if needed

Debug Steps

  1. Check workflow logs in GitHub Actions
  2. Test build locally with same -Configuration-Reference
  3. Verify all secrets are configured correctly
  4. Check Azure resource status and logs

Security Considerations

Access Control

  • Repository permissions managed through GitHub
  • Azure resource access controlled via RBAC
  • -Deployment-Guide tokens secured as GitHub secrets
  • Branch protection rules enforced

Content Security

  • Static files only - no server-side vulnerabilities
  • HTTPS enforcement for all traffic
  • Content Security Policy headers
  • Regular dependency updates

Secret Management

# Add GitHub secret for Azure -Deployment-Guide
gh secret set AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_API_TOKEN --body "your-token-here"

# List configured secrets
gh secret list

Rollback Procedures

Quick Rollback Options

  1. Revert commit and push to trigger new -Deployment-Guide
  2. Deploy previous version manually
  3. Switch traffic to previous environment
  4. Use GitHub release to deploy specific version

Emergency Procedures

# Revert to last known good commit
git revert HEAD --no-edit
git push origin main

# Or reset to specific commit
git reset --hard <commit-hash>
git push --force-with-lease origin main
