For beginners, especially, the transition from a local development environment to a live site can be a real challenge. Lina Wolf and her team have fundamentally revised an important part of the TYPO3 documentation to precisely address this issue. - ![](https://news.typo3.com/typo3temp/assets/t3g/blog/gravatar/bbf959d8e683550c90ae922aff9145d8.jpeg)[Maike Kiebele](https://news.typo3.com/article/author/maike-kiebele) Results: Key Additions and Updates ---------------------------------- The aim of the [Seamless Deployment project](https://talk.typo3.org/t/seamless-deployment-enhancing-typo3-documentation-for-a-smooth-transition-from-local-to-live/6132) was to make the existing [documentation on deployment](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:deployment) more practical, easier to understand, and more complete. Not only was existing content revised, but completely new topics were also introduced, including a few highlights: **Revised content:** [**Classic installation**](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:legacyinstallation) The instructions for classic installations (e.g. via [FTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol)/[rsync](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync)) have been supplemented and optimized for beginners. **New content:** [**Docker containers**](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:admin-docker-index) A comprehensive introduction to the use of [Docker](https://www.docker.com) with TYPO3 has been created, including instructions on configuration, everyday use and specifically on the deployment of Docker setups. **Revised content:** [**Deployment tools**](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:deployment-tools) The chapter on deployment tools has been expanded and now covers common tools such as rsync, [Deployer](https://deployer.org), [Git](https://git-scm.com) and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) — with practical examples and best practices. **New content:** [**Automated deployment**](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:ci-cd-for-typo3-projects) This new chapter introduces automated deployment and demonstrates how TYPO3 can be seamlessly integrated into modern CI/CD processes. **New content:** [**Versioning with Git**](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:version-control) A dedicated section on using Git for TYPO3 projects has been added to the documentation, explaining how versioning supports deployment processes. **Revised content:** [**Admin area and user management**](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:administration-security) As part of the revision, the existing chapters on user and rights management in TYPO3 Explained have been improved and clarified. Test Week With Realistic Infrastructure --------------------------------------- Following [our interim report](https://typo3.org/article/seamless-deployment-enhancing-typo3-documentation-for-a-smooth-transition-from-local-to-live), a test week was held in June to ensure that the new documentation is effective in practice. Community members were able to put the revised content through its paces under real conditions. Feedback from the testers was fed directly back into the project, with unclear formulations being revised, missing intermediate steps being added, and technical details being explained in more depth. The result is a comprehensive and practical guide covering a wide range of deployment scenarios. Thank You to All Our Supporters and Testers! -------------------------------------------- A big thank you goes to all testers who invested their time and provided valuable feedback. We would also like to thank [jweiland.net](http://jweiland.net/), [Mittwald](https://www.mittwald.de/), and [nexaa.io](http://nexaa.io/) for providing the necessary hosting infrastructure for the test environments — without their support, the testing phase would not have been possible. Take a Look ----------- The results of our work are now live and available. [Take a look](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:deployment) to discover clearer guides, practical examples, and helpful new content. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please reach out to the [TYPO3 Documentation Team](https://typo3.org/community/teams/documentation) to help us improve our support material further. ![](https://news.typo3.com/typo3temp/assets/t3g/blog/gravatar/b5c88386e5b1d8fca79d0652427922d2.jpeg) About the Author [Maike Kiebele](https://news.typo3.com/article/author/maike-kiebele) [More posts by this author](https://news.typo3.com/article/author/maike-kiebele) Additional contributors ----------------------- - Copy Editor - ![](https://news.typo3.com/typo3temp/assets/t3g/blog/gravatar/49aa12815610e985a3a94122712538f2.jpeg)Felicity Brand - Publisher - ![](https://news.typo3.com/typo3temp/assets/t3g/blog/gravatar/d2606120ccc43c7846fe40337be2bc1e.png)Mathias Bolt Lesniak
