Local Wordpress in Kubernetes

Make Wordpress in Kubernetes with filesync.

You need Kubernetes (such as Minikube ) and Docker. Also you should have some kind MySQL tool (MySQL Workbench).

To create live filesync you also need Tilt. At the moment in Windows, you must add it to $PATH manually.

Example works in Linux and Windows. I assume it work on macOS too.

Instructions

Windows users: Have to use terminal with administrator rights, to run Minikube and Tilt

Starting up

• Clone this repository to your computer

  git clone https://github.com/Eskilmar/kubernetes-dev-env

• Clone example theme to /theme/ -folder, from here: https://github.com/Eskilmar/welcome-to-kubernetes-theme/

  cd kubernetes-dev-env/theme

  git clone https://github.com/Eskilmar/welcome-to-kubernetes-theme/

• Start your Kubernetes

  minikube start

• Start Tilt in /kubernetes-dev-env -folder

  cd ..

  tilt up

After the Wordpress has deployed, upload database.sql in localhost:3306. Default password is password.

OR

With Linux you can use script, and click refresh -button in Tilt's browser view, but after the Wordpress has deployed.

OR

Windows users can use script in Git Bash:

mysqlPod=`kubectl get pods -l tier=mysql -o=jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}'` && kubectl exec -it "$mysqlPod" -n default -- mysql -u root -ppassword wordpress < ./database.sql

---

At this stage you can make changes inside theme folder and system will upload files inside containers.

Wordpress admin username: demouser, password: password
