Bluearrow wordpress

Installation

Prequisities

Working PHP and MySQL installation is required. Development does not require external http-server.

Download latest wordpress

npm run download-wp

Configure wordpress

Create development database for wordpress and copy sample configuration as a base configuration

cp wp-config.php wordpress/wp-config.php

Modify DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD and DB_HOST to wp-config.php for local host setup. Please note that MySQL host should be 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

Install theme dependencies

cd wordpress/wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME
npm install && bower install

Run development server

Start PHP development server (on root of the repository).

npm start

Build theme assets

cd wordpress/wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME
gulp build

Compile theme styles and watch changes

cd wordpress/wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME
gulp watch

Note: If you want to use the bundled BrowserSync to see live changes when editing, modify wordpress/wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/assets/manifest.json path to match the port you are running Wordpress on (e.g. 8080).

Deployment

Deployment using Google App Engine using GUI

Once you have the applications up & running, developing and deploying using Google App engine is one-minute operation.

If you want to set up the system from scratch, follow these 15-minute instructions:

Deployment using Docker

Build theme assets using instructions in the previous section.

This image requires that /var/www/ is set as a persistent volume in the container.

Create docker-machine environment if you do not have one yet. This needs to be done only once. Make sure that you have latest VirtualBox installed.

docker-machine create -d virtualbox default

Start the docker-machine and create the image.

mv Dockerfile.tmpl Dockerfile # Renamed to avoid app engine conflicts
docker-machine start default
eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
docker build -t bdsfinland/bluearrow:latest .
docker push bdsfinland/bluearrow:latest

Storing Previous Years Versions of the Website

Updating Letsencrypt Certificates

The certificates for this site have been generated using http://www.letsencrypt.org/. This means you need to renew your certificate every three months - don't forget to do that!

In practice what you need to do is run letsencrypt cli every few months, follow the console instructions on what challenge key you'll upload into .well-known/acme-challenge, and re-deploy your website. The following long instructions help you forward:

  1. Start certbot (the new letesencrypt client), choose www.bluearrowawards.com for the domain.

    git clone git@github.com:certbot/certbot.git cd certbot sudo ./certbot-auto certonly --debug --manual

  2. Follow the certbot instructions, e.g. copy the certbot verification string into root-level .well-known/acme-challenge directory while the process is still running.

    echo jRWhFIQGLP0MNIBL_1HMBvQEziW5Ss5bqsP8rSFcn-c.LKsscNwqNHbCdkVCcX9XTg570zfIQu6CkPBPISFc3hI >.well-known/acme-challenge/jRWhFIQGLP0MNIBL_1HMBvQEziW5Ss5bqsP8rSFcn-c

  3. Update the new version into AppEngine - the easiest way is likely the AppEngine client (see above).

  4. Let certbot finish its job, then save & Store the generated certificates.

  1. Update the certbot created private key into RSA form:

    openssl rsa -in privkey.pem >privkey-rsa.pem

  2. Navigate to Google Cloud console (https://cloud.google.com/), bluearrowawards-1158 project, then Dashboard->Resources->App Engine->Settings->SSL Certificates->Upload new certificate. Choose the generated key (e.g. fullchain.pem and the RSA private key (e.g. privkey-rsa.pem). Finish the SSL certificate creation dialog.
