My Ugly WordPress, HyperDB, & BuddyPress Deployment Shell Script

—

This is the source of some of the website deployment scripts I have. This is one is fairly complex and it is my pocket tool of choice for development of big nasty WordPress sites. Probably only interesting to folks who deal with unix shells and do mildly heavy WordPress work.

It’s designed to update from SVN trunk for WordPress, HyperDB, & BuddyPress. My favorite is quick rsync for folders and subfolders so you can upload theme changes quickly because the web is my sketchpad.

Common List of Commands:


# Get the configured site
./wp-work.sh get
# Put the configured site
./wp-work.sh put
# Upgrade the configured site to latest WordPress, HyperDB, & BuddyPress
./wp-work.sh upgrade
# Put specific folders in the sites root
./wp-work.sh work put the-site-folder
# get specific folders in the sites root
./wp-work.sh work get the-site-folder

The Big Ugly Script:

You will really want to customize the top values for sure.

#!/bin/sh

# Batch Update jess
#
# Uses flat array list of site locations, updates using latest source from SVN and performs all update steps.
#

# Website Name
WEB_ROOT_NAME="example.com"

# Web Direcory locations Using $HOME is good.
WEB_ROOT_LOCAL="${HOME}/luser/${WEB_ROOT_NAME}/"
WEB_ROOT_REMOTE="/home/luser/${WEB_ROOT_NAME}/"

# Archive -a mode is -rlptgoD -pgo is permission, user, group and be an issue had to add -vz
RSYNC_SWITCH='-vzrltD'
# SSH command because you might need: 'ssh -i /shh/secret-key/master-magic-key -p 56232'
RSYNC_SSH='ssh'
# Remember the ssh account is where your files land.
RSYNC_SSH_ACCOUNT='me@example.com'

# Tools location for exclude files ans stuff. Using $HOME is good.
TOOLS_ROOT_LOCAL="${HOME}/luser/stuff/"
TOOLS_ROOT_EXCLUDES="${HOME}/luser/stuff/"

# Temp files
TEMP_ROOT_LOCAL="${HOME}/luser/tmp/"

# Putting the path into a variable gets tricky

Exclude file: wordpress-exclude.txt needs to be in that TOOLS_ROOT_EXCLUDES directory. I use it skip stuff that I don’t want to be synced on upload because the remote file changes are most important.

.htaccess
wp-config.php
bb-config.php
cache/
blogs.dir
uploads
wp-content/advanced-cache.php
wp-cache-config.php
sitemap.xml.gz
robots.txt
sitemap.xml
googlee-thingyfile.html

Exclude file: wpmu-bbpress-bp.txt needs to be in that TOOLS_ROOT_EXCLUDES directory. This is to keep files from being overwritten when a package is created from the SVN repositories and moved to the local site staging area. This really may need customized to protect your personal themes, plugins, and files.
