Installing a WSP for Sharepoint noobs

With little knowledge of Sharepoint I always have to look up the exact STSADM command I need to get the job done.

So here are the required steps to install a Sharepoint solution(.wsp) on a server:

  • Copy the template you want to install to the server.
  • Open a command prompt in Administrator mode(!).
  • At the command prompt, type stsadm -o addsolution -filename <file_path>\<template_name>.wsp, where <file_path> is the location you extracted the template files to and <template_name>.wsp is the .wsp file for your template, and then press ENTER.
  • Type stsadm -o deploysolution -name <template_name>.wsp -allowgacdeployment, and then press ENTER.

To check the deployment status, open the Central Administration site for the server. Click the Operations tab, and then, in the Global Configuration section, click Solution management, and then check the status of your solutions.

After all the solutions are marked Globally Deployed, from the command line, run iisreset.

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
