Managing the Infrastructure

To prepare the infrastructure:

git clone https://github.com/lepkov/docker-compose-wordpress-LITESPEED.git

mv .env.example .env

To start the infrastructure:

docker-compose up -d

To stop the infrastructure:

docker-compose down

Additional scripts:

• bash start.sh: Cleans logs and runs docker-compose up -d
• bash backup_files.sh: Runs cp -r "$WORKDIR/public_html" "$WORKDIR/backup/public_html" with checking
• bash clean.sh: Runs docker-compose down, rm -rf app/logs/* && rm -rf app/logs/.*, docker system prune --all --force

Uploading a WordPress Website into Docker Compose Infrastructure

1. Open localhost:8081 in your browser.
2. Log in to phpMyAdmin with root/my_password.
3. Upload your exported database.
4. Upload the website's root directory into the /app/public_html folder.
5. Update the wp-config.php file with the new database credentials and add:

   define('DB_NAME', 'YOUR_DB_NAME');
   define('DB_USER', 'root');
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'my_password');
   define('WP_HOME', 'http://localhost');
   define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://localhost');
   define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

6. Update paths in the .htaccess file if necessary.
7. Open localhost in your browser to check your website.

LiteSpeed WebAdmin

Access the LiteSpeed WebAdmin at localhost:7080 with the credentials admin/my_password.

LiteSpeed Memcached (LSMCD)

To connect to LSMCD:

• Hostname: litespeed_memcache
• Port: 11211 No special credentials are needed.

Logs

All logs are located in the /app/logs folder.

Useful Commands

Search and replace the site name in the database:

sed -i 's/original\.site/localhost/g' exported_db.sql

Additional Notes

• Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system.
• The phpmyadmin service is intended for development purposes and should be disabled in production.
• Review and adjust the resource limits and reservations in the docker-compose.yml file based on your server's capacity.
