Wordpress Kickstart

Basic wordpress kickstarter project that runs locally on Vagrant, production on DigitalOcean, are provisioned by puppet and uses git.

Based on markjaquith/WordPress-Skeleton, MikeRogers0/vagrant-nginx-wordpress-puppet and this excellent post.

Assumptions

• Your webroot is /files
• All writable directories are symlinked to similarly named locations under /shared/.
• Your production stack is hosted on DigitalOcean

Getting Started

Install vagrant-digitalocean.

Install vagrant-hostsupdater

Clone this repository like git clone [email protected]:jnettome/wordpress_kickstart.git my-wordpress-project

Configure your Vagrantfile as your needs.

In order to use with DigitalOcean you need to change your DigitalOcean's API credentials in Vagrantfile.

If you're working on development

cd my-wordpress-project
vagrant up

Or if you're working on production deployment and provisioning

cd my-wordpress-project
vagrant up --provider=digital_ocean

This command will create a new droplet, setup your SSH key for authentication, create a new user account, and run the provisioners configured.

When you are switching from production to development or the opposite, remove .vagrant/ from your project's root folder (info).

Working with

Access your wordpress on http://192.168.4.20 or pointing to your hostname from Vagrantfile if you're using vagrant-hostsupdater.

Default mysql credentials:

hostname: localhost
database: wordpress
username: wordpress
password: wordpress-vagrant

Roadmap

• Vagrant hosts plugin
• Better production provisioning (secure)
• Configure deploy method (git or capistrano)
