There are a few drawbacks to the 1-Click install. I’m planning to tinker with something really cool down the road to fix one of those problems (I know the future again). Luckily, I’m going to address my first initial concern in this post. What is that concern you ask? Protecting my WordPress admin of course! Sure, there are a number of WordPress vulnerabilities roaming around and talks of zero days and the sort....

Building the Custom Nginx This part was pretty easy. I simply created a Dockerfile for the build. FROM ubuntu ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive MAINTAINER Scott Algatt RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev libssl-dev build-essential devscripts libtool m4 automake pkg-config libpcre3-dev zlib1g-dev\ && apt -y upgrade \ && apt -y autoremove \ && apt-get clean \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* \ && curl -o /tmp/nginx....

So far, the focus has been on using default Docker images for our builds. This is great if you plan to deploy stock instances and only need to serve custom content with some minor configuration tweaks. Note that we were able to make configuration changes using a configMap yaml....
In my previous post, I explained how to setup a simple nginx instance that could be used to sync to a private Git repo. The only drawback is that this setup will only serve static pages. What if you wanted to be able to run a server with dynamic code like PHP? I’m glad you asked! In this post, we’ll update our config to include a php-fpm instance to allow us to serve PHP pages....
My previous post explained how to create a private git repo. On its own, that post is roughly useless unless you planned to maintained some private copy of your project so nobody can see it. In this post, we’re going to put that private repo to use in a Kubernetes environment. A basic assumption is that you already have a Kubernetes environment setup. Adding Another SSH Key to the Repo The first step would be to add another SSH Key to our repo....
