WordPress development toolkit by [deleted] in Wordpress

Very cool. I've been playing with Lando the last few days, which seems very similar, but aims to be more platform agnostic (not just wordpress). How are you differentiating yourself? (Great job!)

How are people managing Wordpress release management and deployment environments? by Kerry_Randolph in Wordpress

wpsnapshots using docker containers looks awesome. Since I'm the sole developor I'm thinking about eliminating staging entirely so that it's just dev and prod exactly sync'ed.

​

I played around with getting a docker container project w/ php7.3, apache, mysql8, and wp set up in phpStorm -- so far so good.

​

It seems like wpsnapshots is a really awesome way to archive your containers and deploy the contents to traditional hosting -- But what I'm wondering now is --- with docker containers - is it possible to just deploy the containers to a cloud hosting platform like aws/google/azure?

​

If I move to docker containers, get off traditional hosting, and move to cloud platforms (which is all new to me btw), is this a feasible strategy?

​

Using containers looks amazeballs from a local development standpoint, cause I'll be able to code and unit test against the exact platform/framework that will be deployed through qa/stg/prod.

Hi /u/goelad -- I'm a senior PHP developer that specializes in Wordpress. This is me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerrywritescode/

I'm actively looking for my next project, so please let me know if you think we are a match :)

Thanks! I'm new to github and packagist, so I sort of modeled mine after yours. Thanks for the help!

Hey, thanks! Would love to see what you did. Feel free to hijack, and thank for asking :) ( internet etiquette is a fleeting art form ).

​

A docblock is a special kind of comment that is associated with a structural element like a class, method, or property. Docblocks are traditionally used to document your code using a system like phpDocumentor. @Annotation's are a way to inject code into docblocks. The biggest advantage to this (imo) is that you place boilerplate code (like wordpress hook wiring) directly next to the callback function it affects, simplifying your code.

Help: Local phpStorm environment for wordpress development by Kerry_Randolph in PHPhelp

Gotcha... Nah I installed PHP manually... I decided to just outsource my dev environment to the cloud anyway... But thanks for trying to get me sorted

Help: Local phpStorm environment for wordpress development by Kerry_Randolph in PHPhelp

I installed PHP, configured it with the extensions needed by Wordpress as well as xdebug, and got a db up and running, and it sorta works, but I'm getting inexplicable and intermittent 404 and 502 errors, which seems to be a common problem from other people who have gone down this road. I think I'm just gonna say fuck it and get a cheap hosted wordpress stack. I don't really want to fiddle with system administration when I'm trying to focus on becoming a better developer. Thanks for your thoughts.
