Conversation
Allows running create-site.sh against a local MySQL instance (dev/test hosts) without the RDS-specific REQUIRE SSL enforcement. Validated step-by-step on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VPS. Findings from validation: - step_clone_repo: repos using `master` branch need --git-branch=master - step_summary: was printing hardcoded SSL line even in local mode; fixed Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- --table-prefix=PREFIX passes custom table prefix to wp config create (default: wp_) — needed when importing DBs with non-default prefixes - Add plans/create-site-validation.md with step-by-step results and migration notes from the masanconsumer validation run Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Installs certbot + python3-certbot-apache and obtains a Let's Encrypt cert for a named site. Idempotent, non-interactive. --no-alias flag skips the www SAN when www DNS isn't configured. For VPS/bare-metal only — production EC2 uses ACM via ALB. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
step_htaccess writes the standard WordPress mod_rewrite block when no .htaccess exists in public/. Skips if the file is already present (e.g. committed in the repo); --force overwrites. Runs after step_clone_repo so repo-provided rules take precedence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
migrate-site.sh orchestrates a full VPS→EC2+RDS migration: 1. Provisions the site on EC2 via create-site.sh (RDS DB, vhost, FPM, wp-config) 2. Exports DB from staging MySQL, transfers and imports into RDS 3. Search-replaces staging domain → prod domain (when they differ) 4. Rsyncs wp-content/uploads/ staging→EC2 (incremental) 5. Writes .htaccess, flushes rewrites/cache, fixes permissions 6. Smoke-tests siteurl + latest post + uploads size Reads all config from .env (see .env.sample). Safe to re-run. Flags: --skip-provision, --skip-db, --skip-uploads, --dry-run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
End-to-end guide covering bootstrap, create-site, data migration via migrate-site.sh, DNS cutover, and post-cutover tasks (cron, S3 backup, RDS SSL verification). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Generic step-by-step guide (bootstrap → create site → RDS DB → sync data → DNS cutover) with placeholder variables instead of site-specific values. Includes table of contents and quick reference table. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
