WordPress setup is relatively straightforward but on my server there are some things that need to be done to keep it tidy.

• Set up virtual host

~ $ sudo /etc/apache2/addvhost.sh
~ $ sudo systemctl reload apache

If domain is ready then create a certificate.

• Set up a database

~ $ domain=...
~ $ vhost=${domain//./_}
~ $ sqlvhost=${vhost//_/\\_}
~ $ db_pass=$(pwgen 32 1)
~ $ mysql -uroot -p << SQL
CREATE DATABASE \`$vhost\` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER '$vhost'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$db_pass';
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO '$vhost'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON \`$sqlvhost\`.* TO '$vhost'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
SQL

• Get WP and create configuration

~ $ cd /var/www/$vhost
/var/www/VHOST $ wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
/var/www/VHOST $ tar xzf latest.tar.gz -C web --strip-components=1
/var/www/VHOST $ rm latest.tar.gz
/var/www/VHOST $ cp -p ../it_fejese_com/web/.htaccess web/
/var/www/VHOST $ cd web
/var/www/VHOST $ chmod g+w wp-content
/var/www/VHOST/web $ sed -r \
    -e "s/(database_name_here|username_here)/$vhost/" \
    -e "s/password_here/$db_pass/" \
    -e "s/\(\s*'DB_CHARSET'\s*, '[^']*'\s*\)/('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4')/" \
    -e "s/\(\s*'DB_COLLATE'\s*, '[^']*'\s*\)/('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci')/" \
    wp-config-sample.php > wp-config.php
/var/www/VHOST/web $ while grep -q 'put your unique phrase here' wp-config.php; do sed -i "0,/put your unique phrase here/s/put your unique phrase here/$(pwgen 64 1)/" wp-config.php; done

• Finish WP setup

Go to $domain and finish WP installation.

• Back up

/var/www/VHOST/web $ cd ..
/var/www/VHOST $ cp -p ../it_fejese_com/backup_db.sh ./
/var/www/VHOST $ cp -p ../it_fejese_com/.gitignore ./
/var/www/VHOST $ ./backup_db.sh
/var/www/VHOST $ git init
/var/www/VHOST $ git add :/
/var/www/VHOST $ git ci -m 'Initial commit'
/var/www/VHOST $ git init --bare /var/git/$USER/$vhost.git
/var/www/VHOST $ git remote add origin /var/git/$USER/$vhost.git/
/var/www/VHOST $ git push origin

That’s mostly it.
