Ask HN: Interested in a course on automating a WordPress server with Chef?
Hey guys,
I just wanted to gauge interest in a 2 hour course that goes over automating maintenance on a WordPress course with Chef.
I go over the following: Installing Ruby by RVM, Setting up Chef, Running a Terminal Command in Chef, handling repo failures, handling upgrades that require prompts, setting passwords for users (I use a public key, but also cover passwords), setting settings and variables, and, a little debugging of Chef scripts.
I think the course will be focused only on a single WordPress server, spun by Digital Ocean. WordPress installation would not be covered because I believe most people already have WordPress servers they would like to automate. But feel free to tell me otherwise with what you want to see.
Questions: 1) Would you be interested? 2) Would you pay for it if it was good? 3) Are you interested in automation/where do you get your automation information now?
