This project is very much a work in progress, and many bugs can be expected. Pull requests are very welcome. Quick Start (Docker) -------------------- [](#quick-start-docker) The fastest way to get a working development environment is with Docker. **Requirements:** Docker and Docker Compose v2. ``` # 1. Clone the project git clone https://github.com/WordPress-PSR/swoole.git wordpress-swoole cd wordpress-swoole # 2. (Optional) Customise configuration cp .env.example .env # Edit .env to change ports, credentials, etc. # 3. Start all services docker compose up -d # 4. Visit the site open http://localhost:8889 ``` WordPress is installed automatically on first boot. Default credentials: SettingValueURLUsername`admin`Password`password`**Hot reload** is enabled by default via inotify — PHP file changes trigger an automatic server reload without restarting the container. **Database** data persists between restarts in a named Docker volume. ### Useful commands [](#useful-commands) ``` # View logs docker compose logs -f app # Run WP-CLI commands docker compose exec app wp --info --allow-root # Stop services docker compose down # Destroy everything including the database volume docker compose down -v ``` ### Redis (optional) [](#redis-optional) To enable Redis for object cache testing, uncomment the `redis` service block in `docker-compose.yml`. Manual Installation ------------------- [](#manual-installation) Swoole must be installed from pecl or [another source](https://www.swoole.co.uk/docs/get-started/installation). ``` composer create-project -s dev wordpress-psr/swoole wordpress-swoole ``` Start swoole process ``` cd wordpress-swoole php server.php ``` Visit It should redirect to configure and perform WordPress's famous 5-minute installation. If it fails for any reason create wp-config.php manually. ``` cp wordpress/wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php ``` Then run the installation with WP-CLI. ``` wp core install --url='http://0.0.0.0:8889' --title='Swoole Test' --admin_user=admin --admin_password=password --skip-email ``` Overview -------- [](#overview) Most of the heavy lifting is done by [WordPress PSR Request Handler](https://github.com/WordPress-PSR/request-handler/). This project is mostly just glue that pieces the request handler with the [chubbyphp-swoole-request-handler](https://github.com/chubbyphp/chubbyphp-swoole-request-handler). The basic flow goes like this: 1. Receive Swoole Request. 2. Convert Swoole Request to PSR-7 Request. 3. Pass to WordPress Request Handler. 4. Receive PSR-7 Response. 5. Convert to Swoole Response. Because of the way WordPress makes use of constants such as `WP_ADMIN` to designate the source of some requests a system was developed to route certain requests to specific workers, so the admin would be served by a separate pool from the frontend. In the case the flow looks like: 1. Receive Swoole Request. 2. Convert Swoole Request to PSR-7 Request. 3. Determine if the request is for a special route. 4. Use Swoole\\Server::task() to send the request to a task worker designated for the special route. 5. The task worker passes the request to the WordPress Request Handler. 6. Send PSR-7 Response back to main worker. 7. Convert to Swoole Response. Running ------- [](#running) ``` php server.php ``` Performance ----------- [](#performance) About 2X better. A simple ab of the homepage with only the base install data shows 695 requests pre second running WordPress on Swoole vs 324 running php-fpm.
