Deployment configuration

The StatCan.OrchardCore.Configuration library adds support for configuring persistent modules, smtp settings, reverse proxy setting and https settings with orchard's configuration.

Example appsettings.json

    "StatCan_Configuration": {
      "OverwriteSmtpSettings": true,
      "OverwriteReverseProxySettings": true,
      "OverwriteHttpsSettings": true
    },
    "StatCan_Smtp": {

Sections

StatCan_Configuration

The variables in this section define if the related settings will be overwritten when the tenant activates. For example, if someone modifies the smtp settings from the Admin interface and the OverwriteSmtpSettings is set to true, the settings will be reset to those specified via configuration the next time the tenant activates.

StatCan_Smtp

This section will update Orchard's email module configuration.

StatCan_Https

This section will update Orchard's https module configuration.

StatCan_ReverseProxy

This section will update Orchard's reverse proxy module configuration.

Environment variables

It is recommended to use environment variables to configure these settings in a production environment.
