Deploy multiple static and wordpress websites on a single VM using docker + letsencrypt + some simple scripts

Docker Compose Wordpress Host

Looking for an easier way to get wordpress websites up and running in a production environment. The idea is that this would live on a barebones ubuntu-server and would spin up new wordpress sites in no time

Features:

• Docker-compose to spin up new wordpress sites ✔️
• Nginx reverse proxy to handle multiple wordpress sites ✔️
• SSL with Lets Encrypt ✔️
• Mysql - MariaDB ✔️
• PhpMyAdmin as a toggle to get access when needed but don't expose it unneccesarily ✔️
• Easy upgradability & backup

Optional features:

• Maybe a simple cli for management

Prerequisites

You need the following packages installed:

• docker
• docker-compose
• git

This installation also assumes that you are allowed to run docker without being root. If not, use this to fix: sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker. You need to log out and back in for this to take effect.

Installation

• Point your prefered domain to the IP of your server
• First clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/woutervddn/deploy-site.git
• Then cd deploy-site and sudo ./tools/init-server.sh
• Check if you see the empty "silence is golden" portal on your hostname

Test usage

Set up an empty static website to check if everything works

• Point a second domain to the IP of your server
• cd deploy-site into the directory (if you're not there already)
• Use ./tools/make-static-subsite.sh to generate a static site
• Check if you see another empty site on the new hostname (different background color should appear)

Setup a Wordpress site

• Point the right domain to the IP of your server
• cd deploy-site into the directory (if you're not there already)
• Use ./tools/make-wp-subsite.sh to generate a static site
• Check if you see if wordpress is available on the new hostname

Enable PHPMyadmin

• ssh into your server with portforwarding: ssh -C -D 1080 PRIMARY_HOSTNAME
• setup a socks proxy on your host using 127.0.0.1:1080
• on the server cd deploy-site into the directory (if you're not there already)
• Use ./tools/enable-phpmyadmin.sh to enable phpmyadmin
• paste the final output of the previous script in your browser

Disabling PHPMyadmin is as simple as ./tools/disable-phpmyadmin.sh

Wind down everything

Want do disable everything?

use ./tools/stop-all.sh to stop every docker container launched from here.

Updating a single site

• cd to the right folder: cd sites/DOMAIN
• now run docker-compose up -d to restart all containers
