43% of the Web is built on Wordpress. Because of its simplicity and versatility, Wordpress can be used for internal websites as well as customer facing e-commerce platforms in small to large businesses, while still offering security.
This repository contains the necessary Terraform files to deploy a functioning new Wordpress website exposed to the public internet with minimal technical overhead.
This architecture can be used for the following use cases and more:
- Blog
- Intranet / internal Wiki
- E-commerce platform
- refactor variables merging WP configuration in a single variable
- optional creation of a remote artifact registry repository
- optional serverless connector
The main components that are deployed in this architecture are the following (you can learn about them by following the hyperlinks):
- Cloud Run: serverless PaaS offering to host containers for web-oriented applications, while offering security, scalability and easy versioning
- Cloud SQL: Managed solution for SQL databases
- VPC Serverless Connector: Solution to access the CloudSQL VPC from Cloud Run, using only internal IP addresses
This example will deploy all its resources into the project defined by the project_id
variable. Please note that we assume this project already exists. However, if you provide the appropriate values to the project_create
variable, the project will be created as part of the deployment.
If project_create
is left to null, the identity performing the deployment needs the owner
role on the project defined by the project_id
variable. Otherwise, the identity performing the deployment needs resourcemanager.projectCreator
on the resource hierarchy node specified by project_create.parent
and billing.user
on the billing account specified by project_create.billing_account_id
.
If you want to deploy from your Cloud Shell, click on the image below, sign in if required and when the prompt appears, click on “confirm”.
Otherwise, in your console of choice:
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-foundation-fabric
Before you deploy the architecture, you will need at least the following information (for more precise configuration see the Variables section):
- The project ID.
- A Google Cloud Registry path to a Wordpress container image.
In order to deploy the Wordpress service to Cloud Run, you need to store the Wordpress image in Google Cloud Registry (GCR).
Make sure that the Google Container Registry API is enabled and run the following commands in your Cloud Shell environment with your project_id
in place of the MY_PROJECT
placeholder:
docker pull bitnami/wordpress:6.0.2
docker tag bitnami/wordpress:6.0.2 gcr.io/MY_PROJECT/wordpress
docker push gcr.io/MY_PROJECT/wordpress
Note: This example has been built for this particular Docker image. If you decide to use another one, this example might not work (or you can edit the variables in the Terraform files).
Once you have the required information, head back to your cloned repository. Make sure you’re in the directory of this tutorial (where this README is in).
Configure the Terraform variables in your terraform.tfvars
file. See terraform.tfvars.sample as starting point - just copy it to terraform.tfvars
and edit the latter. See the variables documentation below.
Notes:
- If you will want to change your admin password later on, please note that it will only work in the admin interface of Wordpress, but not with redeploying with Terraform, since Wordpress writes that password into the database upon installation and ignores the environment variables (that you can change with Terraform) after that.
- If you have the domain restriction org. policy on your organization, you have to edit the
cloud_run_invoker
variable and give it a value that will be accepted in accordance to your policy.
Initialize your Terraform environment and deploy the resources:
terraform init
terraform apply
The resource creation will take a few minutes.
Note: you might get the following error (or a similar one):
│ Error: resource is in failed state "Ready:False", message: Revision '...' is not ready and cannot serve traffic.│
You might try to reapply at this point, the Cloud Run service just needs several minutes.
Upon completion, you will see the output with the values for the Cloud Run service and the user and password to access the /admin
part of the website. You can also view it later with:
terraform output
# or for the concrete variable:
terraform output cloud_run_service
- Open your browser at the URL that you get with that last command, and you will see your Wordpress installation.
- Add "/admin" in the end of the URL and log in to the admin interface, using the outputs "wp_user" and "wp_password".
The easiest way to remove all the deployed resources is to run the following command in Cloud Shell:
terraform destroy
The above command will delete the associated resources so there will be no billable charges made afterwards.
