Wordpress

[danniehansen]

I've been working on a serverless.yml configuration file to get starting on hosting a website running Wordpress on Lambda using Bref that will auto-configure VPC, Database, Security groups etc.

I was wondering if anyone else taken on this adventure or if there is already resources available for this? Personally I have a few websites I think could benefit hugely running on Lambda. Not only billing wise but also with the added security of a read-only file system in case it ever got hacked.

Managed to get all responding correctly with ~120ms response times. Still working on setting up auto-configured CloudFront on top of it for caching and for serving static files.

Just wanted to touch base in case someone already have a blog post out and about explaining the process of running Wordpress on Bref.

Hi @danniehansen

Please can you publish the serverless.yml file?
It will help other people like me to have an idea about how to configure these things.
Also this can allow other more experienced people to help.

Thank you.

Hi @kevincerro

Sorry for not responding. The email notification from your message must have gotten list in my inbox.
Unfortunately I've since laying this project on the shelf for a while cleaned up my desktop and accidentally removed the project folder.
From what I remember routing was the hardest. Deploying the wordpress installation worked fine & was rather simple. But Bref has a single handler that receives requests - so I had to write my own request handler to support dynamic routes and static .php routes.

I'll follow up here when I pick up the project again.
