OrchardCore Starter

This repository is an example on how an OrchardCore project can be scaffolded. I also included a example helm chart to deploy to Kubernetes.

This starter is build using the beta version of the OrchardCore CMS. See the docs here: https://orchardcore.readthedocs.io/en/dev

How this was setup

The Web folder was scaffolded using the dotnet new occms command. The Theme was scaffolded using the dotnet new octheme command. I then copied the OrchardCore ComingSoon theme

Developper environment

Here is the recommended dev environment setup:

• docker + docker-compose
• VSCode + extensions
  • Omnisharp
  • GitLens
  • EditorConfig

Quickstart

• From the root of the project run docker-compose up
• Visit http://localhost:5000
• Visit http://localhost:5000/admin

Using docker-compose commands

It is recommended to use docker-compose commands to manage your developer environment

docker-compose up # builds and runs the website and database

docker-compose up -d # builds and runs the website and database, detatched

docker-compose stop # stops running containers

docker-compose down # stops and remove containers

docker volume prune # prunes all volumes no longer attached at a container, useful to delete the volumes attached to the App_Data and the database.

Setting up your nuget feed

You most likely won't need these if you use docker-compose commands but here it is.

Since we are using the developer version of OrchardCore, you need to add a nuget package source to your nuget configuration file. In linux, this file is located ~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
    <add key="OrchardPreview" value="https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>
