Installation - Summary

Here's how to stand up an all-in-one WordPress instance.
Substitute your server's subdomain and admin email in the echo commands below.
After providing these defaults run the yum commands as detailed below.

echo "" > /root/DEFAULT_SUB_DOMAIN.txt
echo "[email protected]" > /root/DEFAULT_EMAIL_ADDRESS.txt

yum -y install https://pbase-foundation.com/pbase-repo.rpm
yum -y install pbase-preconfig-mysql-wordpress
yum -y install pbase-wordpress-allinone
yum -y install pbase-lets-encrypt

Installation - Step by Step

Step 1: Provide your subdomain name and email address by creating a text files under the /root directory.
To serve the root domain:
echo "" > /root/DEFAULT_SUB_DOMAIN.txt
To serve a subdomain, for example 'blog':
echo "blog" > /root/DEFAULT_SUB_DOMAIN.txt
echo "[email protected]" > /root/DEFAULT_EMAIL_ADDRESS.txt

Step 2: Install the pbase-repo package with the command:
yum -y install https://pbase-foundation.com/pbase-repo.rpm

... when it runs, its output will point out the file pbase_repo.json that now holds copies of the defaults.

Step 3: Install the WordPress dependencies and pre-configuration package with the command:
yum -y install pbase-preconfig-postgres-wordpress

... it's output will tell you to review the files in the module-config.d directory.

Step 4: Install the pbase-wordpress package with the command:
yum -y install pbase-wordpress

Step 5: If your host is registered in DNS, installing the pbase-lets-encrypt package will generate a certificate for HTTPS connections:
yum -y install pbase-lets-encrypt

Extras

You should secure your server ports with pbase-firewall-enable and lock down SSH access with the pbase-ssh-fail2ban package.

yum -y install pbase-ssh-fail2ban
yum -y install pbase-firewall-enable

Separate module by module install

Here are the steps to separately install the WordPress modules. Also shown is how to specify DEFAULT_SUB_DOMAIN to configure WordPress being served under a subdomain.

## provide email and specify subdomain
echo "[email protected]" > /root/DEFAULT_EMAIL_ADDRESS.txt
echo "blog" > /root/DEFAULT_SUB_DOMAIN.txt

## preconfig
yum -y install https://pbase-foundation.com/pbase-repo.rpm
yum -y install pbase-preconfig-mysql-wordpress

## apache and mysql
yum -y install pbase-apache
yum -y install pbase-mysql

## optional - to add sample content
yum -y install vrl-repo
yum -y install vrl-website-content

## wordpress
yum -y install pbase-wordpress

## and if your domain is registered in DNS
yum -y install pbase-lets-encrypt
