A starter project to kickstart wordpress websites on a Server running the VESTA Control Panel
VESTA Bedrock starter is mod
of the Bedrock Project, a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure.
Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology including the WordPress specific version.
- Better folder structure
- Dependency management with Composer
- Easy WordPress configuration with environment specific files
- Environment variables with Dotenv
- Autoloader for mu-plugins (use regular plugins as mu-plugins)
- Enhanced security (separated web root and secure passwords with wp-password-bcrypt)
Use Trellis for additional features:
- Easy development environments with Vagrant
- Easy server provisioning with Ansible (Ubuntu 16.04, PHP 7.1, MariaDB)
- One-command deploys
See a complete working example in the roots-example-project.com repo.
- PHP >= 5.6
- GIT >= 1.8 GIT
- Composer - Install
- VESTA CP - Generate Install
-
Create a New Web Project from Vesta Control Panel (example.com)
-
SSH into your server and navigate to `/home/USER_NAME/WEB_DOMAIN, where username is assigned to you by your server admin, and web_domain is the domain name of your project. Vesta Groups project directories according to domain name.
-
clone this project
git clone https://github.com/koolamusic/vesta-bedrock-starter.git .
or run the setup script directlycurl -L -o 'setup.sh' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/koolamusic/vesta-bedrock-starter/master/setup.sh && chmod +x setup.sh && bash setup.sh
-
Update environment variables in
.env
file:
DB_NAME
- Database nameDB_USER
- Database userDB_PASSWORD
- Database passwordDB_HOST
- Database hostWP_ENV
- Set to environment (development
,staging
,production
)WP_HOME
- Full URL to WordPress home (http://example.com)WP_SITEURL
- Full URL to WordPress including subdirectory (http://example.com/wp)AUTH_KEY
,SECURE_AUTH_KEY
,LOGGED_IN_KEY
,NONCE_KEY
,AUTH_SALT
,SECURE_AUTH_SALT
,LOGGED_IN_SALT
,NONCE_SALT
If you want to automatically generate the security keys (assuming you have wp-cli installed locally) you can use the very handy wp-cli-dotenv-command:
wp package install aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-dotenv-command
wp dotenv salts regenerate
Or, you can cut and paste from the Roots WordPress Salt Generator.
-
Add theme(s) in
web/app/themes
as you would for a normal WordPress site. -
Set your site vhost document root to
/path/to/site/web/
(/path/to/site/current/web/
if using deploys) -
Access WP admin at
http://example.com/wp/wp-admin
There are two methods to deploy Bedrock sites out of the box:
Any other deployment method can be used as well with one requirement:
composer install
must be run as part of the deploy process.
