## Key Learnings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **MariaDB Version**: Use 10.11 for WordPress migrations (10.7 caused redo log errors)
|
||
|
|
2. **SSL Handling**: Disabled Real Simple SSL plugin - Traefik handles SSL termination
|
||
|
|
3. **Proxy Configuration**: Added proxy detection to wp-config.php for proper HTTPS handling
|
||
|
|
4. **Variable Escaping**: Use `$$` to escape `$_SERVER` variables in docker-compose.yml
|
||
|
|
5. **Traefik Rules**: Use `||` operator for multiple host rules in Traefik v3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
\""
|

```
|
||
|
|
|
||

### Container Management
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# View logs
|
||
|
|
ssh jared@15.204.247.153 "docker logs bestsolartech_wp --tail 50"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Restart services
|
||
|
|
ssh jared@15.204.247.153 "cd ~/services/bestsolartech && docker compose restart"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Update WordPress
|
||
|
|
ssh jared@15.204.247.153 "cd ~/services/bestsolartech && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Backup Strategy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WordPress files and database are backed up via:
|
||
|
|
- Docker volumes in `~/services/bestsolartech/`
|
||
|
|
- WordPress data: `./wordpress/`
|
||
|
|
- Database data: `./db_data/`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Regular backups should be configured for production data protection.
