  • Generate secure keys and salts for wp-config.php.
  • Optional creation of MySQL database/user/permissions.

Requires:

  • Configuration of php-enabled webserver
  • Configuration MySQL server
  • PHP 5.3 or greater
  • User specified by wp_owner must exist

Parameters

Class wordpress

  • install_dir Specifies the directory into which wordpress should be installed. Default: /opt/wordpress

  • install_url Specifies the url from which the wordpress tarball should be downloaded. Default: http://wordpress.org

  • version Specifies the version of wordpress to install. Default: 3.8

  • create_db Specifies whether to create the db or not. Default: true

  • create_db_user Specifies whether to create the db user or not. Default: true

  • db_name Specifies the database name which the wordpress module should be configured to use. Default: wordpress

  • db_host Specifies the database host to connect to. Default: localhost

  • db_user Specifies the database user. Default: wordpress

  • db_password Specifies the database user's password in plaintext. Default: password

  • wp_owner Specifies the owner of the wordpress files. You must ensure this user exists as this module does not attempt to create it if missing. Default: root

  • wp_lang WordPress Localized Language. Default: ''

  • wp_plugin_dir WordPress Plugin Directory. Full path, no trailing slash. Default: WordPress Default

  • wp_additional_config Specifies a template to include near the end of the wp-config.php file to add additional options. Default: ''

  • wp_config_content Specifies the entire content for wp-config.php. This causes many of the other parameters to be ignored and allows an entirely custom config to be passed. It is recommended to use wp_additional_config instead of this parameter when possible.

  • wp_table_prefix Specifies the database table prefix. Default: wp_

  • wp_proxy_host Specifies a Hostname or IP of a proxy server for Wordpress to use to install updates, plugins, etc. Default: ''

  • wp_multisite Specifies whether to enable the multisite feature. Requires wp_site_domain to also be passed. Default: false

  • wp_site_domain Specifies the DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE value that will be used when configuring multisite. Typically this is the address of the main wordpress instance. Default: ''

  • wp_debug Specifies the WP_DEBUG value that will control debugging. This must be true if you use the next two debug extensions. Default: 'false'

  • wp_debug_log Specifies the WP_DEBUG_LOG value that extends debugging to cause all errors to also be saved to a debug.log logfile insdie the /wp-content/ directory. Default: 'false'

  • wp_debug_display Specifies the WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY value that extends debugging to cause debug messages to be shown inline, in HTML pages. Default: 'false'

Define wordpress::instance

  • The parameters for wordpress::instance is exactly the same as the class wordpress except as noted below.
  • The title will be used as the default value for install_dir unless otherwise specified.
  • The db_name and db_user parameters are required.

Other classes and defines

The classes wordpress::app and wordpress::db and defines wordpress::instance::app and wordpress::instance::db are technically private, but any PRs which add documentation and tests so that they may be made public for multi-node deployments are welcome!

Example Usage

Default single deployment (insecure; default passwords and installed as root):

class { 'wordpress': }

Basic deployment (secure database password, installed as wordpress user/group. NOTE: in this example you must ensure the wordpress user already exists):

class { 'wordpress':
  wp_owner    => 'wordpress',
  wp_group    => 'wordpress',
  db_user     => 'wordpress',
  db_password => 'hvyH(S%t(\"0\"16',
}

Basic deployment of multiple instances (secure database password, installed as wordpress user/group):

wordpress::instance { '/opt/wordpress1':
  wp_owner    => 'wordpress1',
  wp_group    => 'wordpress1',
  db_user     => 'wordpress1',
  db_name     => 'wordpress1',
  db_password => 'hvyH(S%t(\"0\"16',
}
wordpress::instance { '/opt/wordpress2':
  wp_owner    => 'wordpress2',
  wp_group    => 'wordpress2',
  db_user     => 'wordpress2',
  db_name     => 'wordpress2',
  db_password => 'bb69381b4b9de3a232',
}

Externally hosted MySQL DB:

class { 'wordpress':
  db_user     => 'wordpress',
  db_password => 'hvyH(S%t(\"0\"16',
  db_host     => 'db.example.com',
}

Disable module's database/user creation (the database and db user must still exist with correct permissions):

class { 'wordpress':
  db_user        => 'wordpress',
  db_password    => 'hvyH(S%t(\"0\"16',
  create_db      => false,
  create_db_user => false,
}

Install specific version of WordPress:

class { 'wordpress':
  version => '3.4',
}

Install WordPress to a specific directory:

class { 'wordpress':
  install_dir => '/var/www/wordpress',
}

Download wordpress-${version}.tar.gz from an internal server:

class { 'wordpress':
  install_url => 'http://internal.example.com/software',
}

Configure wordpress to download updates and plugins through a proxy:

class { 'wordpress':
  proxy_host => 'http://my.proxy.corp.com',
  proxy_port => '8080',
}

Enable the multisite wordpress feature:

class { 'wordpress':
  wp_multisite   => true,
  wp_site_domain => 'blog.domain.com',
}

Add custom configuration to wp-config.php:

class { 'wordpress':
  wp_additional_config => 'foo/wp-config-extra.php.erb',
}
