My notes, I hope they help you, feel free to comment/add to them

First Things First – WordPress

Since this site is to keep my notes on how to setup technology, I should make the first post about WordPress (or should it be Linux?).

  • Setup a LAMP server <Add link to it>
  • MySQL Database
    • Generate Random Password for wordpress user
    • Create Database
    • Create User and add Permission
  • Download WordPress
  • Create Plugin/Update User
  • Configure WordPress (CLI) – keep it off the internet till the next step is done
  • Configure WordPress (Web)
  • Configure Apache (Require Client Certificate and forbid non ssl to wp-admin)
  • Create first post – this 🙂

Code (todo – save password to variable and use, update apache conf, permalink, test):

apt-get update && apt-get -y install php7.0-gd lamp-server^
a2enmod rewrite substitute

service apache2 graceful

SQL_PWD=$(openssl rand -base64 32|sed 's_/_-_g')
echo "
 CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
 CREATE USER wordpressuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$SQL_PWD';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpressuser@localhost;
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
 exit
" | mysql

wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz -O ~/wordpress.tgz
cd /var/www
tar xzvf ~/wordpress.tgz
rm -fr html
mv wordpress html
mv wordpress/wp-config-sample.php wordpress/wp-config.php
sed -i 's/database_name_here/wordpress/' wordpress/wp-config.php
sed -i 's/username_here/wordpressuser/' wordpress/wp-config.php
sed -i "s/password_here/$SQL_PWD/" wordpress/wp-config.php

while [ $(cat wp-config.php | grep "put your unique phrase here" -c) -gt 0 ]; do sed -i "0,/put your unique phrase here/{s/put your unique phrase here/$(openssl rand -base64 32|sed 's_/_-_g')/}" wp-config.php; done


add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot

apt update

certbot --apache -d example.com -d www.example.com







Add Case insensitive
RewriteMap lc int:tolower
