Overview

This is a bash auto-install script which installs Wordpress and LEMP stack automatically on your Linux server. Currently it works on Debian/Ubuntu based distros.

Script features:

• Creates a swap file
• Installs LEMP stack(Nginx web server, MariaDB server and PHP with necessary PHP packages for Wordpress)
• Creates a new database for the Wordpress
• Creates a new Wordpress directory in /var/www/html directory
• Downloads the latest official version of Wordpress
• Extracts the Wordpress files to the new Wordpress directory
• Clears the download and removes the xmlrpc files
• Configures the correct file permissions on Wordpress files
• Edits the wp-config-sample.php file with the DB parameters and renames it to wp-config.php and it writes the newly generated SALT keys too.
• and lastly copies the template Nginx server block config for Wordpress and enables the website.

Instructions

• Git clone the repo to the $HOME directory and run the script as the non-root user with sudo privileges. You can apply the chmod +x on the script file to run it as an executable or run it with: bash wp-deploy.sh

• Change the following variables to suit your needs:

DB_NAME="test_wp" DB_USER="test_user" DB_PASS="Test.Pass1" WP_DIR="wordpress"

After the script has finished, run the sudo mysql_secure_installation to secure the mysql login. That step I still haven't automated yet.
