My team and I have attempted an umbraco upgrade to the latest stable 13.x.x on a production environment (at the time of work sign-off). We maintain three deployment environments for our client: - An internal test and a prep-prod/UAT environment. - Production All of these umbraco applications are hosted in Azure in the form of Azure Web Apps. Pre-Prod and Prod are the closes architecturally speaking as each have two app web apps: 1) An Administrative instance for the umbraco backoffice 2) A public facing instance of the website An upgrade on all environments prior to production has been relatively painless - allowing Umbraco to applicate the necessary changes to facilitate the upgrade to 13.0.3. Unfortunately, the same can be said about production: The production database contains significantly more content that that of the non-prod environments and could be a contributing factor to the SQL timeout exceptions observed in the installation splash screen and in the trace logs *Troubleshooting * There was two key issues that we resolved together on pre-prod: Ensuring that the .NET stack version on the Azure Web app was updated to v8 (which I did) Adding and increasing the **DistributedLockingReadLockDefaultTimeOut **values in the appsettings. I also came across one example of the issues with an Umbraco 13 upgrade as described in this Umbraco forms thread. The suggested remediation steps didn’t resolve my issue. If you have any ideas for next steps, I’d be appreciative. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1219659453012639856/1219659453155250196/fe0d208e-9f4d-4ae2-99b5-28a59d8d9fa0.png?ex=660c1b61&is=65f9a661&hm=a1dbe9908a72a51961dcb7b998f104e523489b853719e20c37f0b78a8229f598&

I'm currently using the newest beta version of Examine to use faceting in an Umbraco13 site. After adding a new language (added Dutch to the already existing English) I get the error: 'field "$facets" was not indexed with SortedSetDocValues' Is anyone familiair with this? It seems to be something going on withing Examine since I do not specify a field called '$facets"

I created a document of a specific type that contains a configuration for some component. What is the best way to get this document out of the content tree? Checking the docs here: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/querying left me confused a bit. For now I went with the following apporach:

var config = umbracoHelper.ContentAtRoot().DescendantsOrSelfOfType(MySpecialConfiguration.ModelTypeAlias).FirstOrDefault() as MySpecialConfiguration;

I know that there is only one config of this type so

FirstOrDefault()

is not problematic here. Is traversing the tree like that very consuming? Is it the correct way of getting the config ?

Hi, I'm Umbraco newbie and I'm trying to use property alias in a block list but with no luck. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I keep getting {{newProperty}} instead of it's value ☹️ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1251236913310863504/1251236914007248996/image.png?ex=666dd8af&is=666c872f&hm=b6755363efe83874d763a9f6a0f56da8fdac9061344b420dc8917ec4d0fa7537& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1251236913310863504/1251236914292457533/image.png?ex=666dd8af&is=666c872f&hm=2b3c11b913f0ab56d506911eb440b81566f9e99457ed8e93d32d3cbd4f5f1297& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1251236913310863504/1251236914703372348/image.png?ex=666dd8af&is=666c872f&hm=7216296ce319d1a92e65f1b8a6686ca48402264d8598c8a1a9bbc32fc08758d2&

After reading the 24 days article https://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2023/runtime-modes/, I decided to go through our client environments and implement the runtime modes, which necessitates setting the `UmbracoApplicationUrl `app setting. But I have a question, if I have a load balanced setup (1 backoffice edit app which is locked behind Azure AD, and 2 public frontend apps which sit under Azure Application Gateway), what URL do I set `UmbracoApplicationUrl `to? Would it be the public domain, or the domain of the backoffice edit app? (Note: /Umbraco is redirected to a 404 on the public domain)

First a few words about our setup: We are using the latest version of Umbraco v12.2.0 with Flexible Load Balancing on Docker containers running Ubuntu Linux. We are having currently one publisher (Backoffice) and one subscriber (front-end). We went with headless approach using Umbraco Content Delivery API. For media we are using S3. API content is served through Kestrel inside front-end docker container. Both containers (subscriber and publisher) are using the same instance of Sql Server. Installed packages in Umbraco: - Umbraco Workflow v12.1.1 - uSync v12.1.0 In the Backoffice we have currently two sites, with up to 15 sub-pages on each. We also used multilingual setup, each page has content for two languages. Every page consists of a few blocks on block grid. The size of the DB is around 190MB (so nothing huge in any case). Our issue (this can be reproduced on each docker containers restart): I just focues on the front-end/subscriber container here. The same can be also noticed on the Backoffice container (publisher). When front-end (subscriber) docker container starts, it uses around 160MB of memory looking at docker stats. Right after the first request is made to the front-end, memory jumps to around 280MB. About half a minute from the first request, memory jumps again to around 1,7GB. At the time of the big memory jump (from 280MB -> 1,7GB) I see bunch of messages in logs like: DeliveryApiContentIndex Write lucene doc id:{id}|{languageCode}, category:{category}, type:{type} So I would say the Examine index is the cause of the high memory consumption. I also verified Examine indexes in the publisher Backoffice (can't access front-end because Backoffice is disabled): - DeliveryApiContentIndex: DocumentCount=146, FieldCount=22 - ExternalIndex: DocumentCount=284, FieldCount=849 - InternalIndex: DocumentCount=297, FieldCount=1054 - MemberIndex: DocumentCount=0, FieldCount=0 Is maybe someone else also noticing high memory consumption?

Exceeding 260 character limit for paths in Windows

Using Umbraco 13, I can't find any examples of how to actually do that. I've tried creating a valuesetbuilder, a configureOptions, populator and a notificationhandler. however, whenever I come into my Populator it gets a list of 0 indexes. If I look in the Umbraco code, there's a row with: _logger.LogDebug($"{nameof(PopulateIndexes)} called with no indexes to populate. Typically means no index is registered with this populator."); So my problem seems to be that I can't figure out how to connect my custom populator with the ExternalIndex. Can someone please explain to me how that is done? 🙂

I am trying to programmatically create a user but I'm running into problems hashing the password. I have no idea if it's Umbraco or standard .NET core that should handle this. My code looks like this:

private void CreateUserIfNotExist(string email, string password, string? name)
    {
      var user = _userService.GetByEmail(email);
      if (user != null)
      {
        return;
      }

      var newUser = _userService.CreateUserWithIdentity(name ?? email, email);
      var userGroup = _userService.GetUserGroupByAlias("editors") as IReadOnlyUserGroup;

      if (userGroup != null)
      {
        newUser.AddGroup(userGroup);
        newUser.RawPasswordValue = ???? // how to hash password?
        _userService.Save(newUser);
      }

    }

How can I figure out the

RawPasswordValue

? I've tried 5 different ways of dependency inject a password hasher, but I can't find a way to type it to

<IUser>

which is what

CreateUserWithIdentity

returns. The documentation has a page that brings up my hope: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/management/services/userservice/create-a-new-user But it has no example shown at all, broken documentation perhaps?

The [docs](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/cms/) for AstroJS have a dedicated section called "Use a CMS with Astro" which is currently missing Umbraco. I've started putting together a repo of documentation around such an integration to eventually submit for inclusion and would humbly request anyone who knows anything about the topic to consider contributing! I know folks such as @rickbutterfield, @Louie and @Prenders have dabbled somewhat, so was hoping for a collaborative effort with putting some instructions together. Some guides are just stubs, but some ("Storyblok", "Contentful" and "ButterCMS") are so robust that the Astro docs puts them first in the ordering (they're specifically listed in this array!). The repo I've put together for the documentation is here, readily awaiting your PRs: https://github.com/jacksorjacksor/astrojs-with-umbraco-cms-docs https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1217409689588072519/1217409690305167450/astro-icon-light-gradient.png?ex=6603ec20&is=65f17720&hm=35f6517d81ac9ca764e9d2d2928e183d06823afc1dc790b74eb51132bef0c6ae&
