digital ocean wp + react build

install

• wordpress 18.04 marketplace droplet
• submit an ssh key ssh-keygen -t rsa
• once droplet is created, create A record to point at the droplet's IP
• ssh into ssh root@YOURIP to set root password/finish install
  • includes LetsEncrypt, for later SSL, run certbot --apache -d YOURDOMAIN.com -d www.YOURDOMAIN.com

git hook

Digital Ocean outlines how to set up a git hook here.

TL;DR:

1. ssh into your droplet
2. without changing directories:

• sudo chown -R `whoami`:`id -gn` /var/www/html
• then: mkdir ~/proj, cd ~/proj, git init --bare to create a bare git-dir
• create/open your post-receive file: nano hooks/post-receive

inside:

#!/bin/bash
while read oldrev newrev ref
do
    if [[ $ref =~ .*/master$ ]];
    then
        echo "Master ref received.  Deploying master branch to production..."
        git --work-tree=/var/www/html/PATH/TO/THEDIRECTORY-YOU-WANT-TO-PUSH-TO --git-dir=/ROOT/proj checkout -f
    else
        echo "Ref $ref successfully received.  Doing nothing: only the master branch may be deployed on this server."
    fi
done

• your PATH/TO/THEDIRECTORY-YOU-WANT-TO-PUSH-TO should be an empty directory
• save and close this file, then run chmod +x hooks/post-receive to make script executable
• logout of your ssh, and git remote add production ROOT@YOURIPADDRESS:proj.
