Demo Sites update automatically

As of Aug 24, 2023, the DSpace Demo sites now update automatically

demo.dspace.org

demo.dspace.org always runs the latest code from the corresponding "dspace-7_x" maintenance branch.

• https://demo.dspace.org uses the published dspace-7_x-dist Docker image built from the Dockerfile.dist on our frontend's dspace-7_x  branch: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/blob/dspace-7_x/Dockerfile.dist
• https://demo.dspace.org/server/ uses the published dspace-7_x Docker image built from the Dockerfile on our backend's dspace-7_x branch: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-7_x/Dockerfile
• Frontend and backend configuration is managed via environment variables.  Contact Tim Donohue or Lyrasis to ask for a configuration change.

sandbox.dspace.org

sandbox.dspace.org always runs the latest code from the corresponding "main" branch.  It is therefore running bleeding edge code at all times.

• https://sandbox.dspace.org uses the published latest-dist Docker image built from the Dockerfile.dist on our frontend's main branch: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/blob/main/Dockerfile.dist
• https://demo.dspace.org/server/ uses the tagged latest Docker image built from the Dockerfile on our backend's dspace-7_x branch: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/main/Dockerfile
• Frontend and backend configuration is managed via environment variables.  Contact Tim Donohue or Lyrasis to ask for a configuration change.

Updating Angular UI Demo (Obsolete)

The Angular UI Demo site (https://demo7.dspace.org/) is updated/redeployed automatically when any change is merged into the ui-demo branch of https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular

...

1. First, merge any PR(s) that you want to deploy to UI demo
2. Next, merge/sync those changes over to the ui-demo branch. For example:
   1. git checkout main
   2. git pull
   3. git checkout ui-demo
   4. git merge main
3. Then, push those changes back up to the ui-demo branch in GitHub
   
   1. git push upstream ui-demo
4. At this point, Atmire's server should detect the new changes & redeploy the demo7.dspace.org user interface (NOTE: It may take ___ minutes for the changes to be deployed)
5. Test it out: https://demo7.dspace.org/

Updating REST API Demo (Obsolete)

The REST API Demo Site (https://api7.dspace.org/server/) is updated/redeployed automatically when a change is merged into the rest-demo branch of https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace
