EasyEngine is a command-line tool for managing WordPress sites on Nginx. It aims to provide an easy and automated way to install, manage and optimize WordPress sites. Key features include automated installation of PHP, MySQL, Nginx and caching plugins. Sites can be created and managed through simple commands. EasyEngine uses conventions over configuration and file-based backups to make management simple. The roadmap includes improved debugging, monitoring, mail server support and a REST API.

17. How Quick Setup Works!
• Prefer binary packages instead of compiling
• Prefer conventions over database
• Tweaks differnt configs at the time of installation only

18. Conventions
File structure for example.com site
• /var/www/example.com/ - All files related to example.com
• /var/www/example.com/htdocs/ - Document Root
• /var/www/example.com/logs/ - Logs
• /var/www/example.com/wp-config.php - WordPress config
• /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com - Nginx config
Database details are used from wp-config.php

19. Git-based backup
For all configs
• /etc/nginx/
• /etc/php5/
• /etc/mysql/
• /etc/postfix/
If something goes wrong...
git checkout /path/to/config/file
