We are adding a way to deploy updates on a production October CMS installation without the necessity to run Composer and access the server via SSH, such as shared hosting environments. This will be implemented in the free RainLab.Deploy plugin. This is how it will look like:

• In a development environment, you can select components that you want to deploy, e.g. the platform core, plugins, themes, configuration, etc.

• The system creates a ZIP file and sends it to your production environment via a secure channel.

• The production environment extracts and installs the components.
