wordpress-development

Starting point for local Wordpress development.

Getting started

Start the Docker bundle

docker-compose up

Go through the installation at http://localhost:8000/

Stop the Docker bundle

docker-compose down

This will destroy the containers, but keeps the data:

Stopping wordpressdevelopment_wordpress_1 ... done
Stopping wordpressdevelopment_db_1 ... done
Removing wordpressdevelopment_wordpress_1 ... done
Removing wordpressdevelopment_db_1 ... done
Removing network wordpressdevelopment_default

## Importing existing database and assets

In order to perform a database import, find the container name of the MySQL instance (e.g. wordpressdevelopment_db_1):

docker ps

Example output:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES
17e972a1d193        wordpress:latest    "docker-entrypoint.sh"   About a minute ago   Up About a minute   0.0.0.0:8000->80/tcp   wordpressdevelopment_wordpress_1
06b2337e5e0c        mysql:5.7           "docker-entrypoint.sh"   2 minutes ago        Up About a minute   3306/tcp               wordpressdevelopment_db_1

Import existing database

Replace URLs in the database dump

cat dump.sql | python utils/modify_database_dump.py --old-url <OLD URL> > modified-dump.sql

#### Import from modified dump

docker exec -i wordpressdevelopment_db_1 mysql -uwordpress -pwordpress wordpress < modified-dump.sql

Dump database

docker exec -i wordpressdevelopment_db_1 sh -c 'exec mysqldump --all-databases -uwordpress -pwordpress'

Deploying to live site

Deploy new version

If your work is already committed:

git ftp push

To ignore warning about uncommitted work:

git ftp push --force

Set up git-ftp

We are using git-ftp to manage deployments to the live FTP server.

Install git-ftp (requires homebrew):

brew install git
brew install curl --with-ssl --with-libssh2
brew install git-ftp

Configure it using:

git config git-ftp.user <FTP USER>
git config git-ftp.url ftpes://<FTP SERVER>/www/wp-content/themes/<THEME NAME>
git config git-ftp.syncroot wordpress/wp-content/themes/<THEME NAME>
git config git-ftp.password *******

which should result in the following inside .git/config:

[git-ftp]
    user = <FTP USER>
    url = ftpes://<FTP SERVER>/www/wp-content/themes/<THEME NAME>
    syncroot = wordpress/wp-content/themes/<THEME NAME>
    password = *******

Finally, to activate git-ftp, run:

git ftp init
