Wordpress deploy script

Automated script to import or deploy Wordpress website in SSH This is based on the Grafikart tutorial : https://www.grafikart.fr/tutoriels/ssh-deploy-wordpress-1060 (thanks!)

Prerequisites

Works only on MacOS or Linux, to make it work on windows you can try those methods (not tested) : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2532234/how-to-run-a-makefile-in-windows This is the script I use on my OVH shared hosting (pro plan minimum to have SSH access). You have to enable SSH on your hosting, for OVH hosting plan, follow this tutorial :

• https://docs.ovh.com/fr/hosting/mutualise-le-ssh-sur-les-hebergements-mutualises/

Getting Started

0. Copy this Makefile in your local Wordpress directory

1. Install wp-cli locally (https://wp-cli.org/) to have it works with the wp command.

2. Install wp-cli on your server, the method I use is the following one :

   • upload the wp-cli.phar file in a _scripts/ folder on your server (I put it in the root directory so I use the same for all the projects)

3. Copy this Makefile in the root directory of your local Wordpress installation

4. Replaces the variables in the envfile with your own :

   • phplive=/usr/local/php5.6/bin/php ## Server php path (this example works for OVH pro shared hosting plan)
   • wpclilive=/homez.xxx/xxxxxxxxxx/_scripts/wp-cli.phar ## (to kown this full path you can connect to your server in SSH with the terminal and type the command pwd)
   • path=~/www/websites/mywebsite/ ## path of your project on the server
   • [email protected] ## SSH credentials
   • livedomain=http://www.domain.com ## live URL
   • localdomain=http://localhost/example ## local URL

5. Create a database on your OVH

6. Copy the local files on your server, and configure the wp-config.php correctly to connect to your database

Add your SSH key to the server to avoid typing your password every time

Create a .ssh key on your local computer : https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/ Create a .ssh key on your OVH server : https://docs.ovh.com/fr/public-cloud/creation-des-cles-ssh/ On the server in the /.ssh/ folder add a authorized_keys file and add your local SSH public key in it : https://timleland.com/copy-ssh-key-to-clipboard/
