A pre-configured Ubuntu LEMP box for Wordpress.

Use the barebones quick start instructions if you are not an Infinite employee, otherwise:

Make sure the SSH key for your host system is saved in GitHub to use the provision script. It will pull the Bowtie & bowtie-wordpress repos into www and import the www/bowtie-wordpress.sql database during provision.

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Nginx 1.10
• PHP 7
• MySQL 5.7
• phpMyAdmin 4.5.4

• bowtie-wordpress
• Bowtie
• Optionally, install Vagrant Hostsupdater to automatically add the VM to your hosts file.

Follow the instructions below depending on your environment

Access the site at project-name.localhost or phpmyadmin at project-name.dev:8080

HTTPS for Wordpress is available beginning with the v1.2 vagrant box.

Clone this repo and run $ vagrant up for a barebones box that does not include our Wordpress distribution.

Move your static or PHP site to the www folder, and use phpMyAdmin to create a database. Credentials are listed below.

This will download our Wordpress distribution including plugins and themes.

Clone this repo and run $ ./quick-start.sh for first boot and provisioning, or to overwrite the current site.

This will download our Wordpress distribution including plugins and themes.

Run $ bowtie new project-name and this repo will be cloned, as well as the Wordpress distribution. The box will be booted and ready to use.

To save space (each box is about 500mb), you can destroy the VM while keeping a copy of the site and db, ready for next boot.

Using Bowtie CLI

1. Run $ bowtie backup -d to dump the db to www and destroy the machine (remove the -d flag to only create a backup)
2. Use $ bowtie up to restore the site.

Manually

1. First, login to phpmyadmin and dump the wordpress db to bowtie-wordpress.sql in the www folder.
2. Run $ vagrant destroy to delete the VM
3. When you are ready to use the site again, run $ vagrant up --provision. This will rebuild the box and import the db again.

After making system updates, run the following commands to prepare the box and package.

$ vagrant ssh
$ mysql --login-path=local -e "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS wordpress"
$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M
$ sudo rm -f /EMPTY
$ cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history && history -c && exit
$ vagrant package --output bowtie.box

Login to Vagrant Cloud and upload a new version for the virtualbox provider. You will then need to return to the version list and release it to make it public.
