Modify this stack before deploying to production

In Production you should modify, at a minimum, the following:

If you want to support HTTP/2, migrate the php handler: mod_php=> php-fpm
secure mysql users with proper source IP limitations

Deployment

Each time you merge a commit to master, a GitHub Actions workflow copies the following directories to the remote server.
