The Umbraco Sustainability Team ran a short webinar this afternoon to give out lots of ideas and tips on various ways to improve the sustainability of your Umbraco website solutions. Many of the various aspects have been covered before in individual different talks, but it was good to have them all brought together into a
After many months of teasing us with release candidates, the final latest release of Microsoft’s .net 8 framework came out mid-November, marking the latest long-term-support release of .net core (for all we’re not supposed to include the ‘core’ moniker any more). Following the new roadmap plan of aligning their own LTS releases to that of
Introduction As discussed in my last post, over the summer I recently started looking at running Umbraco on a variety of mini PCs eventually putting together a longer talk, however this blog post serves as a more permanent record of the findings. Running your own inhouse server is never going to be a recommended solution

Over time with the Umbraco 7 site getting more and more bogged down with increasing node counts and complexity, I
There’s a phrase about ‘famous last words’ I think. 6 months ago I mentioned I was aiming to have my site rebuild of an Umbraco 7 site brought into Umbraco 9 largely complete by the time of the release candidate. Well ignoring the fact they’d actually released the RC a day before that blog post
If you’ve not already read part 1 which involved going from v7 to v8, you can read this in the previous blog entry. Part 2 – Getting from v8 > v9 While I had intended to continue on with the migration to v9 the very next day after getting the project database on to v8,
