nfs-scripts

Small scripts for WordPress installs on NearlyFreeSpeech hosted sites. I was tired of not remembering which site has the most up to date versions of these so I added them here. This way updates are just a git pull away. Can use on other hosts too.

Dependancies

These should already be installed by NFS unless you're on some weird server:

• WP-CLI (required by backup.sh and update.sh)
• Git (optional)
• Bash (others may work, untested)

Installation

1. git clone https://github.com/nearwood/nfs-scripts into your NFS site's home directory (or other private location). A nfs-scripts directory will be created and the scripts will reside there.
2. Edit script.config to set the following variables:
3. WPDIR - WordPress installation directory (absolute path)
4. WPBACKUPDIR - Desired backup directory (absolute path)
5. chmod u+x *.sh in the nfs-scripts directory to be able to run them without using the shell command.

Usage

• update.sh - Calls backup.sh to backup before pulling using WP-CLI to update core, themes, and plugins. Alternatively, if WP-CLI is not found it downloads latest.tar.gz and extracting into WPDIR. Also runs fix-grp.sh to fix group of all files and folders.

• backup.sh - Copies all files and folders in WPDIR into a bzipped tarball, saved to your WPBACKUPDIR. Backups your wordpress database using WP-CLI to WPBACKUPDIR.

• fix-grp.sh- Recursively fixes the group permissions of all files and folders in WPDIR to match your host. After extracting the WordPress update tarball, the group is set incorrectly. Also deletes the Dolly plugin. (Note: These may be unnecessary with WP-CLI and/or fixing the tar -x command.)
