Deployment guide
Before you begin, please review the information in the README file. The default settings in the repo were selected to enable users to easily set up and try the application. You may need to modify these settings to meet your organization's specific requirements.
You will need:
- An Azure subscription where you can create the following kinds of resources:
- Azure logic app
- App service
- App service plan
- Bot channels registration
- Azure Cosmos DB account
- Application Insights
- A copy of the Icebreaker app GitHub repo (https://github.com/officedev/microsoft-teams-icebreaker-app)
For the manual deployment (old approach) please use this deployment guide.
Here is a video walk-through of the manual deployment, if you'd like to follow along as you go through your own deployment: Icebreaker video walkthrough
Please follow below steps to deploy app template:
- Download the whole solution folder from GitHub
- Unzip the Content to a folder. (say IceBreaker)
- Open a PowerShell window in administrator mode and navigate to the folder where you unzipped the content.
- Navigate to Deployment folder.
cd IceBreaker\Deployment
- Run the below command. This will allow you to run deploy.ps1. By default, the execution policy is restricted. You may change it to back restricted after deployment is completed.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
- Run the below command to unblock the deployment script.
Unblock-File -Path .\deploy.ps1
-
You will find a
parameters.json

If your tenant has sideloading apps enabled, you can install your app to a team by following the instructions below.
- Upload package to a team using the Apps tab: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/apps/apps-upload#upload-your-package-into-a-team-using-the-apps-tab
- Upload package to a team using the Store: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/apps/apps-upload#upload-your-package-into-a-team-or-conversation-using-the-store
-
You can also upload it to your tenant's app catalog, so that it can be available for everyone in your tenant to install: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/tenant-apps-catalog-teams
