Install Example using CloudFormation and ECS
In the installation documentation there exists a helm chart example:
https://octopus.com/docs/installation/octopus-in-container/octopus-server-container-linuxAre there any existing examples of doing something similar, but using CloudFormation/Fargate/ECS to run the server + tentacles?

Support environment variables for all `octo` CLI commands / flags
I posted about this as a GitHub issue as well (https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/OctopusCLI/issues/142). Basically, it would be nice if the
octo
CLI could read environment variables for all of its commands and flags. This would make CI easier since values could be easily changed and tested without having to make code changes.Thank you!

Enable process scoping within library variable sets
Project variables may be scoped to a process to differentiate between variables used for deployment and variables used for runbooks.
I would like to be able to define process scope for variables within library variable sets so that library variables intended for use in deployments do not pollute my runbook process.

Add a data field of Team Owner or Manager (of type User) into the Octopus Teams settings tab.
Due to SOX Auditing, we have a bi-yearly user access review of everyone who has deployment permissions. We have automated this with Powershell and the Octopus API so that we can generate an excel spreadsheet to upload to Sharepoint for Managers to approve individual user access.
However, this has created a problem, there is no easy way to mark Team Ownership or a Team Manager as a simple user data field in the Teams' settings so that we could populate Sharepoint with the name of the person responsible for approving each users access.

Organize Runbooks in a folder structure
In our more complex deployment project, we heavily depend on runbooks to update configuration, check parameters, run clean-ups, change certificate, and and and.
It is very hard to keep an overview in a long and unstructured list and it would be immensely helpful if we could organize runbooks a folder structure.e.g.
|- Certificate
| |- verify chain
| |- change cert
|- Database
| | - create backup
| | - run maintenance
|- Configuration
| | -rewrite config
| | -verify config... and so on

Add schedulable Tentacle and Calamari Update
Hi team,
Our deployment usually happen in a short off business hour window. However, the Calamari update by default will happen on deployment time and it can sometimes take half hour to finish. Admittedly, we can workaround this by manual update or wrote and schedule our mock deployment. They all are not elegant enough. Please consider adding this feature in.

Allow custom deployment scripts for Terraform steps
Currently it it not possible to script additional actions when planning to apply or applying a Terraform template. This means that additional steps are required to carry out simple takes like importing an exiting resource before planning, or uploading a saved plan to S3 so that it can be pulled and applied.
Many other steps have this configurable feature, and I believe it would be highly effective here.
Suggestion -
- Pre-deployment script runs before 'terraform init' (allowing download of plan from S3, for example).
- Deployment script runs after 'terraform init' (allowing 'terraform import' after the template has been…1 vote -
Allow Helm chart external feeds that support OCI
Amazon ECR supports pushing Open Container Initiative (OCI) artefacts to repositories. This includes Helm charts.
However, Octopus does not support pulling Helm charts from OCI sources.
I'd like to see this support added.

Built-in Azure App Service/Function Restart
I find that deployments to Azure Functions and standard app services will occasionally fail due to files being locked. This usually requires stopping the app service, re-running the deployment, and then restarting the function or app.
This can be scripted with Powershell, but since this is such a common scenario, I’d love a checkbox built into the Azure App Service step that provides this ability. Something like “Stop App Service prior to deployment and restart after deployment”.

Cloud region health checks
It would be nice to define health checks for a cloud region, ideally a script that is run for each deployment in the region.
It's easy to deploy websites to a cloud region, but hard to see if they're up and available.

Dashboard should be better at visualizing multiple tenants
Currently the home dashboard displays tenants as a small grey-on-grey count of up-to-date tenants vs total tenants. It would be nice to see a coloured pie chart or similar visualization instead, to make it more obvious when one tenant in an environment is still running an old version or has had a failed deployment.
It can be easy to miss failed deployments from the dashboard screen.1 vote -
Cost of Azure App Service targets should be per-server, not per-service
Octopus Deploy penalises you for using PaaS resources over IaaS.
We currently use VMs which are capable of hosting many web services and only consume 1 deployment target on our licence. If you were to convert that same VM to an Azure App Service, you would consume far more licences for the same server power, which sucks.
e.g.
A single Virtual Machine hosting 15 web apps in IIS costs only 1 deployment target
A single App Service Plan hosting 15 web services costs 15 deployment targets
TL;DR; Azure App Service Plan should consume 1 deployment target regardless of how many…

Expose a generic OpenID Connect authentication provider
Octopus Server already has a lot of oAuth/OpenID integrations built in (AzureAD, Okta, Google Apps etc) but all of them are provider-specific. It would be great to have a generic authentication provider for third-party identity servers (such as Keycloak) to expand on this even further. Considering all of the current implementations are already based on a common class (https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/OpenIDConnectAuthenticationProviders) I imagine this shouldn't require much work. Although generic provider could expose more customization on how to extract user information from ID token, for example. We are using AzureAD integration to cover this for now (Keycloak integration) and it…

Support sharing of variable sets and script modules across spaces
https://help.octopus.com/t/feature-request-variable-sets-spanning-spaces/26948/4
We have multiple teams and have so far been avoiding spaces because we have no way that we know of to share variables and scripts between teams in different spaces.
We have a lot of shared configuration that we wants accessible by all and with only one source of truth. For example, we have many apps that need to add whitelisting for our build/deploy servers. We store that ip whitelist in an octo variable set so all project can access it. If I need to alter that whitelist I can be confident that if I change the values in…

ID and Name in the html code for SIGN IN button?
We are trying to add our internal Octopus url access through CyberArk privileged access security, but CyberArk is not able to detect the "SIGN IN" button in the login page. Cyberark support said this is due to inspection of the "Sign In" button do not have ID and Name in the html code so Cyberark can't find the element.
Please can you help us add the ID and Name in the html code for SIGN IN button?1 vote -
Tenants
Display Tenant Name and Description when making selection of the tenant when deploying a release. An environment made by a previous team used the "Name" field to enter some sort of "Id" and on the "Description" field they captured the tenant's name, now is somehow hard to know which tenant to select by means of the Id.

Dashboard icon page target
I manage a multi tenant system and the dashboard is always a pain to use.
First the icon cant be trusted as it dose not accurately show things like a single tenant deploying (The animated icon).
But the real pain is that if I click that icon it takes me to the deployment page of one of the tenants. What I want it to do is take me to a screen for all of the tenants. Something like the tasks screen filtered by environment would be very nice.
Then I would be able to see the true state of all…
