A template for Autonomic Wordpress projects, including local set-up, and auto-deployment.
# Usage
1. Make a new repository, using this as a template
2. Remove this notice from `README.md` (everything until the `---`)
3. Create and deploy a Co-op Cloud Wordpress app
4. Edit `.env.sample` to set `SITE_URL` (and customise `PROJECT_NAME`, if
needed)
- Change USERNAME to whatever the wordpress admin username is / should be
- Set SITE_URL to the live site URL
- Set PROJECT_NAME to some identifier for the project
5. Make sure `.drone.yml` has the right settings for the server you'd like to
deploy
- change host to the FQDN of the host, likely smol-wp.autonomic.zone
- set service to the docker service name, usually <app_name_snake_case>_app so like display_distribute_com_app
- update source and exec_pre to the path to the theme
- comment exec: composer install if composer isn't in use
- set `deploy_key: from_secret:` to the secret name of the SSH key to access the server. this requires logging into drone as autonomic admin, then checking "organisation secrets" on the repo settings page of any repo in the same org. or you can use drone CLI and do drone orgsecret ls
6. Add any custom plugins / themes to `wp-content`
- Copying / moving files into the repo in wp-content, and possibly / probably excluding them from .gitignore
7. "Activate" this repository in Drone
- e.g. click "activate repository" here https://drone.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/display-distribute/settings
8. Commit to the repo to test and monitor the drone interface to troubleshoot

# $REPO_NAME
_Wordpress local set-up and custom theme/plugins_
## Local development
### Initial set-up
Install Docker (and, if your Docker version doesn't include `docker compose`,
the separate `docker-compose` programme).
Check out the code:
```
git clone $REPO_SSH_URL
cd $REPO_NAME
```
Copy the default environment file into place
```
cp .env.sample .env
```
Edit `.env` as needed for your local config; read the descriptions for
`DOCKER_SUDO` and `DOCKER_COMPOSE`, and set them if you need to.
Then, download and start the Docker images:
```
make up # 💄
```
Download uploaded media (beware possibly-large filesize) and plugins from the live site:
```
make uploads_pull
make plugins_pull
```
Then fetch and load the database:
```
make db_pull set_local_password
```
If this process is interrupted for any reason but the database was downloaded in
full, you can skip the dump/download process and just load the database and set
the URL with:
```
make db_load fix_url
```
Lastly, install any parent themes in use on the site:
```
make theme_pull
```
The site should now be available:
- **wordpress**: http://$REPO_NAME.localhost/
- **mailhog**: http://$REPO_NAME.localhost:8025
### Updating your local version
Run `git pull` frequently.
Refresh from the live site as often as you can:
```sh
make plugins_pull theme_pull db_pull set_local_password
```
### Running WPCLI commands
The `make wp` shortcut doesn't support `--flag` arguments, which are used in a
lot of `wp` commands. As an alternative, a shell alias is provided:
```
source shell-aliases
wp post list --post_type page
```
