Running Mongo migration script from Octopus Deploy

Legacy Uncategorised

At the moment Octopus Deploy treats all Nuget packages as deployable packages. We wish to run some Mongo migration scripts which exist in a Nuget package which is given to Octopus via TeamCity, but we don’t really want/need these to be deployed to anything, they just need to run by Octopus Deploy (server) itself. We kind of need a “Download package” step instead of a “Deploy a NuGet package” step which would download the package and allow us to use the contents of this.

  1. Is this a planned feature?
  2. Is it possible to programatically do this now?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for getting in touch!

We do currently run Azure steps on the server itself so it’s a concept we may expand on in the future, but for now your best option is to nominate a Tentacle for the role of Mongo migrations and run the script from there.

Hope that helps!
