Staging environment

[collabnix]

I have a developer website based on docusaurus. Would like to know what general practice do people follow for staging and production environment . Before pushing my changes to prod site, I want to showcase it to my management. Do suggest.

Hi, please remember issues are not for questions.

If you use a modern Jamstack / static hosting solution like Netlify or Vercel, each PR against master will have a "deploy preview" enabling you to review the changes online with a unique URL. Once you merge the PR to master, it will automatically deploy to production. This is the workflow I would recommend.

See for example #4409 (comment)

It is also possible to set up one deploy URL per git branch.

Github Pages can only have a single URL per repo so it is not a good fit.

If you want to use a single git branch or don't want a modern Jamstack hosting solution, you'll have to figure out yourself how to host the staging site. There are thousands of way to host static files, using docusaurus serve, Apache, Nginx, Varnish...
