Features -------- [](#features) - Uses [Mina](http://nadarei.co/mina) for deploy management. - Includes the [wp-parsedown](https://github.com/friartuck6000/wp-parsedown) plugin to convert WordPress to a Markdown-only CMS. - Adds several other common and useful plugins out of the box. - Uses [PHP dotenv](https://github.com/vlucals/phpdotenv) for more secure site config - Uses environment-specific config files Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 5.5 or later - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx) Installation ------------ [](#installation) 1. Clone this repo, or [download a release](https://github.com/asmbs/thunderpress/releases). 2. Run `composer install`. 3. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and modify your config parameters (see below). 4. Add any bespoke plugins/themes (be sure to update your `.gitignore` so they'll be tracked). 5. Set your host's document root to `/path/to/vhost/web` (or `/path/to/vhost/current/web` if you're using Mina for deploys). 6. Go! Your site's WP Admin will be available at `http://example.com/wp/wp-admin`. ### Environment Variables [](#environment-variables) **Note:** Never track your `.env` file in git! **Site Environment** ``` ; Default values shown WP_ENV = 'development' WP_HOME = 'http://example.com' WP_SITEURL = 'http://example.com/wp' ``` **Database** ``` ; Default values shown DB_NAME = 'database_name' DB_USER = 'database_user DB_PASSWORD = 'database_password' DB_HOST = 'localhost' DB_PREFIX = 'wp_' ``` **Keys/Salts** *You can generate these automatically with `composer run-script salts`*. ``` AUTH_KEY = '' SECURE_AUTH_KEY = '' LOGGED_IN_KEY = '' NONCE_KEY = '' AUTH_SALT = '' SECURE_AUTH_SALT = '' LOGGED_IN_SALT = '' NONCE_SALT = '' ``` **Optional Settings** ``` ; Use another WordPress site in your data to manage users WP_USER_TABLE = '' WP_USER_META_TABLE = '' ; Adjust PHP settings WP_MEMORY_LIMIT = '128M' ; Analytics tracking (see below) GA_PROPERTY_ID = 'your_property_id' ``` Deploying --------- [](#deploying) Make sure [mina is installed](http://nadarei.co/mina) before continuing: ``` gem install mina ``` 1. Edit `config/deploy.rb` to set up global parameters. 2. To configure a target, copy the example `environment.rb.example` file to `.rb`, where `` is the name of the environment you want to deploy to. You can have as many target environments as you want. 3. Set up the deploy directory on the server: ``` mina setup server= ``` 4. You can deploy to an environment using any branch, commit or tag: ``` # Uses master branch by default mina deploy server= # Specify a branch mina deploy server= branch= # Specify a commit mina deploy server= commit= # Specify a tag mina deploy server= tag= ``` Other Stuff ----------- [](#other-stuff) ### Google Analytics [](#google-analytics) Thunderpress includes a built-in plugin (not must-use, you have to activate it) that will automatically add your Google Analytics tracking script. To use it: 1. Activate the plugin 2. Set the `GA_PROPERTY_ID` environment variable in `.env` 3. That's it—the script will be added to your pages automatically. **Note:** The tracking script *will not* be added if you're logged in with admin/editing capabilities. ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity3 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
