Run steps as a different user
Some of our projects live on shared servers, and run under different users for isolation. It would be good to be able to choose which user a nuget deployment/powershell script runs under so we can protect against mistakes/malicious code in our powershell deployment scripts.

Allow for providing more details than just "Deployment failed"
For example, if an integration/selenium step has failed, it's nice to know the number of tests that failed. In order make this generic, having special messages in the build log (similar to how Teamcity does things http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD7/Build+Script+Interaction+with+TeamCity#BuildScriptInteractionwithTeamCity-ReportingMessagesForBuildLog) would be very helpful!

Role dashboard
It would be nice to have a Role dashboard.
Eg. application 1 = role 1 and an overview where all applications (roles) will be shown in a grid7 votes -
Pivot dashboard on version number
Have an optional view of the dashboard (or a separate page) that pivots on version number. We have a lot of environments, and it gets hard to quickly view the dashboard and see which environments are out of date and don't have the same version. Having a list of Project->Version->Environment would help

Bulk NuGet package version selection on create release screen
I have 30+ steps in my project. It would be great to be able to bulk change the nuget package version for each version drop down list.

Run uninstall on the currently deployed solution
We've just moved our service over to use TopShelf. Previously it used its own installer. In PostDeploy.ps1 we woudl then run installutil with teh service as an argument to install the services and message queues.
Now we don't need the installer inside the service anymore because TopShelf does that for us.
The problem is then how to get the deployment to uninstall the service successfully when it has no cencept of uninstalling the currently deployed installation using the artifacts of that deployed installation.
I have to try to uninstall the previous deployment using the new deployment artifacts. This is causing…

Improve User Group Administration
User Group administration is cumbersome.
On the group administration screen add the ability to select multiple users at once instead of typing in user names.
On the user profile page show the groups a user is a member of. Administrators should be able to add users to groups from the profile page.

Clone a Release
When viewing a Release, I would like to be able to clone the Release into a new Release. The variables, package versions, etc. of the new Release would be set to the same values as the original Release.
This would help support hotfix scenarios, where we have the previous Release saved, and want to deploy just a single updated package. Right now I basically create a new Release and manually set all of the package versions to the existing values. The manual method doesn't allow me to copy the older set of variables though.

Add API Key to authentication choices for Nuget Feed for use with MyGet.org
Currently the option is to use a userid and password to connect with the nuget package feed. It would be great to not enter username and password but use the same api key used to push the packages into Myget.org to retrieve them

Start, stop, status actions
3 new powershell scripts, start, stop and status that will you be able to trigger from the web on each project in a machine and environment.
the status will tell you if the project is actually running or not (zero not running, 1 running) and will be probably be called every x minutes.

Upgrade of tenticals to support Interactive Mode
We run Tentical.exe in interactive mode rather than the service so that it can run selenium ui smoke tests after deployment.
When we update the tentical through octopus it doesnt seem to update tentical.exe and also restarts the service.
It would be great if deploying tentical updates from the octopus server would also update tentical.exe, idealy it would understand that tentical.exe is running interactivly and start this rather than the service after upgrade!

Renaming roles
I think it would be a nice feature to be able to rename roles, there are situation where you might choose the wrong name and at that point if you have many project connected to it it will be annoying to have to update all the projects.

support environment-specific permissions for viewing variables
Sometimes variables contain sensitive information (e.g. passwords). Currently, it does not seem to be possible to manage permissions for variables on a per-environment basis. So a developer who is managing a dev environment, but does not have permission to deploy to production, might be able to see and/or edit variables which will be used for deployment to production.

Integrate smoke tests for post deployment
While we can run smoke tests by using the PostDeploy.ps1, such as running nunit.exe or something similar (frisby.js, etc), it would be great to have a way to integrate back into the dashboard (through the rest api?).

118 votesThanks for the suggestion and for voting everyone. I’d like to get feedback on where we should go with this.
There are a few things in Octopus that already help with this – first, it’s possible to package your NUnit tests and run them as part of a package test (we do this ourselves), or to write a PowerShell step that pings your website to see if it is online. So the actual process of performing the tests is pretty easy. Do we need to write more blog posts/documentation to show how it can be done?
The next part is viewing the test results – in Octopus 2.0 you can “attach” files to a deployment via PowerShell which are then uploaded and available on the deployment page.
Viewing NUnit results XML isn’t that nice though, so I guess it would be nice to be able to render those NUnit test…

Ability to define/change project variables from a file in the step package
The Octopus engine could identify a file in the root of the package, like "OctoVariables.xml" and automaticaly create or change variables in Project. Something like:
<variables>
<add name="MyConnectionString" environment="testing" value="User=test;password=1234;Initial Catalog=TestDb" scope="Step" override="false" /><add name="DropAndRecreateApplication" value="false" override="false" />
</variables>1 vote -
Upgrade of OctopusServer through Octopus
It would be really nice if Octopus Server (and portal) had the ability to be updated the same way as a release can be pushed meaning through and Octopus nuget package. this would make the maintenance easy instead of having to download and rerun installer each time a new Octopus release is created
