WordPress Site Management w/ EasyEngine by Joshua Copeland

Are you still using Apache/Nginx and a bunch of virtual hosts to create your own shared hosting server? Stop tinkering with configs on your server because this talk is just for you. In this talk I’ll share how I manage my sites with EasyEngine. EE is a docker setup that uses Nginx, php-fpm, and Redis to spin up sites in a blazing fast and repeatable way. I’ll go over how I use EasyEngine with Google Cloud Compute, Terraform, and Namecheap to create a server, point a domain, and create a site in just a handful of steps. This has allowed me to be able to migrate sites in a super fast way to new operating systems and keeping security patches in tip top shape. I’ll go over how to use LetsEncrypt which is built right into EasyEngine for free SSL certificates and how you can backup/migrate sites quickly. After this talk, you will be ready for lift off with EasyEngine!
