Summary

This is a guide for experienced Plone developers, integrators and administrators overwhelmed with the amount of moving parts building up Plone. The guide makes development and deployment choices instead of you ensuring a smooth path from first code modifications to a properly deployed Plone 4 site on the cloud.

Overview

At the end of this journey you’ll have a Plone 4 project with:

  • latest collective.xdv with sample rules.xml and template.html,
  • versions.cfg that pins all your eggs to specific versions to ensure repeatability,
  • development.cfg that builds a development environment,
  • production.cfg that builds a production environment with ZEO,
  • test_setup.py that shows you how to write tests for your project,
  • fabfile.py with Fabric commands to automatically deploy your code and data to a Rackspace Cloud server instance running CentOS,
  • Sphinx documentation for your project,
  • nginx.conf template to setup the Nginx web-proxy in front of your Zope,
  • basic iptables configuration to deny access on all ports but the ones you actually use,
  • and many more.
