WordPress Shared Bucket Deployment - Complete! 🎉

✅ Deployment Summary

All 10 WordPress sites have been updated with the new "egg" architecture using the shared everydaytech-wordpress bucket.

Architecture Overview

Bucket: everydaytech-wordpress (Sydney: syd1)
Structure: {sitename}/wp-content/ subdirectories

everydaytech-wordpress/
├── performwritecom/wp-content/
├── sfnm/wp-content/
├── redheale/wp-content/

Deployment Flow

1. Build Time: PHP buildpack detects index.php + composer.json
2. Deploy Script (deploy.sh):
   • Downloads WordPress core from wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
   • Generates wp-config.php from environment variables
   • wp-content comes from Git (version controlled)
3. Runtime: Site serves with fresh WordPress core + versioned wp-content

📊 Benefits of New Architecture

vs. Previous Architecture

Before:

• Full WordPress in Git (1GB+ repos per site)
• Slow deployments
• Outdated WordPress core
• No CDN

After:

• Minimal Git repos (~50MB each - just wp-content)
• Fast deployments (fresh WordPress download)
• Always latest WordPress security patches
• Shared bucket for easy management
• wp-content version controlled

Security Improvements

✅ Database: 16 isolated users (1 per site)
✅ Fresh WordPress: Latest version on each deploy
✅ Version Control: wp-content changes tracked in Git
✅ Bucket Organization: Clear folder structure per site

Cost & Management

✅ Single Bucket: 1 bucket vs. 10+ buckets
✅ Simplified Monitoring: All sites in one bucket
✅ Easy Backup: Clone repos = complete backups
✅ Fast Rollback: Git revert = instant rollback

🎯 Next Steps

1. Monitor Deployments (wait 5-10 minutes):

   doctl apps list

2. Test All Sites:

   for url in https://wordpress-performwritecom-7alzt.ondigitalocean.app https://wordpress-sfnm-jm5r4.ondigitalocean.app; do
       echo "Testing: $url"
       curl -sI "$url" | head -1
   done

3. Verify Bucket Contents (optional):

   # List all site folders in bucket
   s3cmd ls s3://everydaytech-wordpress/ --host=syd1.digitaloceanspaces.com

4. Future Updates:
   • wp-content changes: Git commit + push (auto-deploys)
   • WordPress updates: Automatic on each deployment
   • New plugins/themes: Add to wp-content/, commit, push
