What is WordPress Development stack
WordPress Development stack is a development environment deployed to your favourite cloud server or VPS, selected from the list of supported clouds. TryDirect will automatically create 3 VPS instances and a private network in the selected cloud. WordPress development stack will be deployed on two of those three VPS instances.
What does the WordPress Development stack include
- Server 1 - Gitlab VPS with basic CI/CD preconfigured
- Server 2 - WordPress development VPS which includes: WordPress debug mode, MySQL, Nginx latest stable + LetsEncrypt certbot.
- Server 3 - WordPress production VPS which includes: WordPress, MySQL, Nginx latest stable + LetsEncrypt certbot.
Servers will be accessible by subdomain names, for example, if the base domain is mydomain.com then the subdomain names will be formed according to the following scheme:
- git.mydomain.com - instance with Gitlab
- dev.mydomain.com - instance with WordPress (dev git branch), development mode
- prod.mydomain.com - instance with WordPress (prod git branch), production mode
The development workflow model is the following:
- The owner invites the developer to use Gitlab
- Developer clones project
- Developer pushes changes
- The development server is updated automatically by commit from the dev branch
- The owner can merge dev to production branch and trigger production upgrade

Companion apps
Nginx
knockd is a port-knock server. It listens to all traffic on an ethernet (or PPP) interface, looking for special knock sequences of port-hits. A client makes these port-hits by sending a TCP (or UDP) packet to a port on the server. This port need not be open -- since knockd listens at the link-layer level, it sees all traffic even if it's destined for a closed port. When the server detects a specific sequence of port-hits, it runs a command defined in its configuration file. This can be used to open up holes in a firewall for quick access.
