HW08: Automating Wordpress Install due Sat 21 Oct 23:59
Description
Write a script called wpinstall that will be invoked as follows:wpinstall subdomain.mydomain --type=all
Where mydomain is any domain to which you have rights. The subdomain. can be omitted, but if present is any valid subdomain name. There type argument can be one of three values:
- siteonly: The script should install the site but should not obtain an SSL certificate.
- certonly: The script should obtain an SSL certificate and cause http web traffic to redirect to https.
- all: The script should do both actions (install the site and obtain a certificate).
If the type argument is omitted then a value of all should be assumed. Your script should do some basic checking of parameters and exit with appropriate error messages if the parameters are absent of malformed.
The script should behave as follows:
- When invoked it should not require additional input from the user.
- The installed site should be accessible from any browser by entering the subdomain.mydomain in the URL bar. This means you'll need to update DNS entries from the script as well as create appropriate apache config files.
- Do not assume that mydomain is already created as a hosted zone in AWS. (It might be and it might not be). If not, then create the hosted zone.
- The web space should be structured with a wordpress directory, a logs directory, and a wp-config.php file. Directory permissions should be set according to the instructions in the previous assignment.
- Each separate invocation of this script should create a new database and database user with a unique password.
- The wp-config.php file should be updated according to the instructions of the previous assignment.
