wp-secrets.php only gets generated when the volume is empty

[nickjanssen]

Hi, wp-secrets.php only gets generated when the volume is empty. However, once the volume is there and the container has to restart for whatever reason (e.g. when moving a pod to another node on k8s) the wp-secrets.php won't be recreated since the volume already exists.

I think it should be passed with a separate volume instead.

Hi @nickjanssen,

The idea is that /var/www/wp-content is mounted on a persistent volume, because there the plugins, themes and uploads are stored as well. You also don't want to re-generate the secrets because than you're not able to login WordPress anymore due to the changed salt.

Hi @nickjanssen,

I'm going to close this issue due to inactivity. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@TrafeX wp-secrets.php gets downloaded when the volume is empty but when you start the container with a copied-over volume it isn't generated. It could make sense to always regenerate it when the container is started. A new wp-secrets.php means all users have to login again, which is actually a good precaution when rebuilding containers.

See the latest updates in #42, the issue should be resolved. Thanks for reporting!
