wpdeploy.sh – a script for easy deployment of WordPress

This script will download and completely install WordPress on Gentoo with lighttpd web server.

Few notes:

If was written for my own purposes and it isn’t completely universal. There are no guaranties whatsoever, of course. But you still may find it (or parts of it) useful and I will try to answer your questions if there are any.
It is expected that you have installed lighttpd web server, MySQL and WP-CLI.
Script should be run by root user.

Usage:

$ sh wpdeploy.sh

What the script does:

Collect data from user
Download and extract latest version of WordPress
Configure lighttpd
Create MySQL database
Configure wp-config.php
Generate admin password and install WordPress
Install selected plugins and themes
Set chosen file owner, group and permissions

wpdeploy.sh version 2 (26.12.2013) – download

version 1 (9.12.2013)

Another way to make automated deployment. Look throught a tool for beginners and experienced developers! Instead of making a setup and doing that boring repeatable job that you do for each new WordPress project, you can just use WPD https://wpdeployer.com/ It’ll save much time for you and make a developing process simpler.
