Install

Install python3 and clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/HashNuke/wordpress-deploy.git wordpress-deploy
cd wordpress-deploy

# Install pipenv
pip3 install pipenv

# Install python dependencies
pipenv install

# Start a python virtual environment
pipenv shell

Deploy a site

Please follow the same order of instructions to avoid issues.

[Step-1] Create a server with Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS) on your cloud provider

Ensure to choose SSH key as the authentication method and add the SSH key to your local SSH key agent.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/mykey

[Step-2] Add DNS records for domain/subdomains

  • Domain/subdomain for the website.
  • Domain/subdomain for email notifications (backup emails, alerts, etc). Add an A-record for this.

These two can be the same domain/subdomain.

[Step-3] Add a server to the hosts file

Create a hosts file with the name of the server and IP address like below. I've named my server as personal, but you can name it whatever.

[personal]
1.2.3.4

[Step-4] Create a config file in the sites dir

cp sites/sample.yml sites/mysite.yml

The sample config file has details about configuration options. Give it a read.

[Step-5] Deploy

ansible-playbook setup.yml -i hosts --extra-vars @sites/mysite.yml

👉 Login credentials + New site checklist 😃

The wordpress admin user will receive an email with login credentials for the admin user. This email also includes a checklist for your new site.

[IMPORTANT] If you do not find this email in your inbox, please check your spam folder. And if you still do not find it then check the instructions below the screenshot.

Post-install email with instructions

Find default password for admin user

If you do not get an email after setting up a new site, then you can still access the password for the admin user. The default password is stored as a file on the server.

Assuming your site_name is "mysite" and deploy_user is "deployer" (default value), your default wordpress admin password can be found at the following path on the server.

/home/deployer/sites/mysite/config/default-password

  • Post-install email

    Post-install email

    Email the user post install with the following content (below line). The example below only denotes negative scenarios for certain checks.

    Subject: New wordpress site at example.com

    Hello fellow human, Your new site "hello-world" has been setup to be served at https://example.com.

    Please take some time to read this email. It has been hand-crafted to help you with your new site.

    🧪 New site checklist

    👉 [IMPORTANT] Add this email address to your contacts

    This will ensure that your email provider does not mark these emails as spam. These are emails from your own server. If you need help, then please check this page

    ✅ DNS record for email notifications (mailman.example.com)

    The A-record for mailman.example.com was added in the DNS appropriately. Your emails will work fine.

    ❌ DNS record for domain (example.com)

    Please ensure to set a DNS record for example.com to point to TODO IP address. If you have already added it, do not worry, it might take a while to propagate through the internet.

    ❌ DNS record for redirect domain (www.example.com)

    Please ensure to set a DNS record for www.example.com to point to TODO IP address. If you have already added it, do not worry, it might take a while to propagate through the internet.

    👉 Set a new password

    We set "TODO" as the site's password for you. Please login at [TODO admin link] and set a new password.

    ✅ Backups configured

    You will receive email backups of your site on TODO notify_email.

    As an example, we created your first backup and attached it along with this email. The instructions to restore sites are available on this page

    ❤️ Loved using this project?
