IntrospectData Wordpress Dev Setup

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker-Compose
• an editor of your choosing...
  • we like Atom

How to use this

• Download or clone this repo to your local machine... however you want to do that.
• Now figure out whether you're working on plugins, themes, both or you just want to play with your existing wp-content directory. Here are a few options:
  • Get a copy of our wordpress directory and just put it in the wp-root directory in this project. Update the docker-compose.yml file's volume mounts to only mount that directory (instead of plugins and themes directly)
    • copy the wp-config-sample.php file from the root of this directory to wp-root/wp-config-sample.php
    • give everyone read rights to this directory - mostly because the user inside of docker will need access and it's fairly easy to run: chmod -R +x wp-root/
• Then get a fresh copy of your database dump and place it in the data directory
• Now it's all down to just running some commands:

docker-compose up -d

What does it do:

• wordpress is accessible at http://localhost:8080
• admin user is local-admin with password P@ssword!

Dev Setup

The above process gets you set up for running the site locally... but what about actually doing plugin or theme development? No sweat--here's what you do:

• After you've completed the setup above, but before you run docker-compose, replace the downloaded directories for your themes and/or plugins with cloned repos from our source control setup.
• For example--if you're doing development on our custom themename theme:

rm -rf wp-root/wp-content/themes/themename
rm -rf wp-root/wp-content/themes/themename-child
git clone git@github.com:IntrospectData/themename.git wp-root/wp-content/themes/themename
git clone git@github.com:IntrospectData/themename-child.git wp-root/wp-content/themes/themename-child
sudo chmod -R +r wp-root
docker-compose up -d

that's it!
