Custom theme deployment between environments

fred.fred · 22 Nov 2021, 18:00

We have three FusionAuth environments - Dev, QA, Production. Our UI dev is developing a custom theme in the Dev environment for us.

How do we DevOps or programmatically move her theme changes from Dev to QA then Production?

It looks like we can transport with the API using Theme Update Endpoints and sharing environment API keys so one environment can see the next environment to copy the themes over.

But is there a better way?

Thanks.

Yes, that's what I'd recommend. You could have different API keys for each environment and have the script that promotes the theme pull the API key from a secrets store. Make sure you limit the API key to the themes endpoint.
