# Azione!Lab WordPress A warm, editorial single-page website for the Azione!Lab contemporary theatre workshop. WordPress manages the content, a custom theme owns the visual system, and Docker Compose provides MariaDB, NGINX, optional Let's Encrypt, WP-CLI, and isolated browser tests. ## Architecture - `wordpress/`: pinned WordPress 7/PHP 8.3 image, custom theme, and structured-content must-use plugin. - `db`: MariaDB 11.8 LTS, available only on the internal data network. - `proxy`: the only published service; routes `azionelab.org` to WordPress and applies edge security controls. - `certbot`: optional HTTP-01 certificate issue/renewal service. - `wp-cli`: opt-in bootstrap and maintenance service. - `tests/functional`: Playwright tests running only through the public virtual host. See [architecture](docs/architecture.md) and [ADR-0001](docs/adr/0001-wordpress-single-page.md). ## Prerequisites - Docker Engine with Docker Compose v2. - Local ports `8080` and `8443` available. - `127.0.0.1 azionelab.org` in the local hosts file. No host PHP, database, Node.js, or WordPress installation is required. ## Start locally ```bash cp .env.example .env docker compose up --build -d docker compose --profile tools run --rm wp-cli /scripts/bootstrap.sh docker compose ps ``` Open: - site: - admin: Use the development credentials copied into `.env` only locally. Change them before sharing the environment. ## Edit content - **Appearance > Customize**: hero, manifesto, laboratory, teacher, lessons, contacts, social links, and footer. - **Shows**: poster, title, excerpt, year, place, and order. - **Gallery**: image, category, caption/title, and order. - **Settings > General**: site name and tagline. Real uploaded images replace the built-in editorial SVG placeholders. The three participation cards remain intentional theme copy; making them reorderable is a TODO if the workshop later needs more than the current three fixed audiences. ## Production configuration Set `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE=production`, unique database passwords of at least 16 characters, a strong admin password, the public HTTPS `WP_URL`, and `WORDPRESS_DEBUG=0`. Production startup rejects placeholder database credentials. WordPress file editing and web-based theme/plugin/core modification are disabled; deploy updates by rebuilding the pinned image. When a trusted load balancer owns TLS, keep `LETSENCRYPT_ENABLED=0` and set `TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=1` only if NGINX is reachable exclusively from that load balancer and the load balancer overwrites forwarding headers. For direct exposure, point public DNS at the host, expose ports 80/443, and start with the Let's Encrypt staging CA: ```dotenv WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE=production WP_URL=https://azionelab.org LETSENCRYPT_ENABLED=1 LETSENCRYPT_DOMAIN=azionelab.org LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=operator@example.org LETSENCRYPT_STAGING=1 NGINX_BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 NGINX_HTTP_PORT=80 NGINX_HTTPS_PORT=443 TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=0 ``` Before the first certificate exists, NGINX serves ACME challenges and returns 503 for application traffic. After issuance, HTTP redirects to HTTPS automatically. ## Useful commands ```bash docker compose logs -f proxy wordpress db certbot docker compose --profile tools run --rm wp-cli -c 'wp plugin list' docker compose --profile tools run --rm wp-cli -c 'wp core version' docker compose run --rm --no-deps wordpress php -l /opt/azionelab/theme/functions.php docker compose run --rm --no-deps wordpress php -l /opt/azionelab/theme/front-page.php docker compose run --rm --no-deps wordpress php -l /opt/azionelab/azionelab-content.php docker compose run --rm --no-deps proxy nginx -t docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.test.yml up --build -d db wordpress proxy docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.test.yml --profile tools run --rm wp-cli /scripts/bootstrap.sh docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.test.yml --profile test run --build --rm functional-tests docker compose config --quiet ``` ## Backup Back up the database and WordPress files at the same logical point in time: ```bash mkdir -p backups/wordpress-files docker compose stop wordpress docker compose exec -T db sh -c 'mariadb-dump -u root -p"$MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD" "$MARIADB_DATABASE"' > backups/database.sql docker compose cp wordpress:/var/www/html/. backups/wordpress-files/ docker compose start wordpress ``` Do not commit backups or `.env`. Encrypt and test real backups off-host. See [operations](docs/operations.md) before restoring or deleting volumes. ## Rollback Revert the application commit and rebuild containers. Preserve `db_data`, `wordpress_data`, and certificate volumes. Database restoration is a separate, destructive operation and requires a verified backup.
