EasyEngine / easyengine

Command-line control panel for Nginx Server to manage WordPress sites running on Nginx, PHP, MySQL, and Let's Encrypt

EasyEngine v4

EasyEngine makes it greatly easy to manage nginx, a fast web-server software that consumes little memory when handling increasing volumes of concurrent users.

Requirements

• Docker
• Docker-Compose
• PHP CLI (>=7.1)
• PHP Modules - curl, sqlite3, pcntl

Installing

Linux

For Linux, we have created an installer script that will install all the dependencies for you. We have tested this on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 and Debian 8, Debian 10.

wget -qO ee https://rt.cx/ee4 && sudo bash ee

Even if the script doesn't work for your distribution, you can manually install the dependencies and then run the following commands to install EasyEngine

wget -O /usr/local/bin/ee https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EasyEngine/easyengine-builds/master/phar/easyengine.phar
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ee

Tab completions

EasyEngine also comes with a tab completion script for Bash and ZSH. Just download ee-completion.bash and source it from ~/.bash_profile:

source /FULL/PATH/TO/ee-completion.bash

Don't forget to run source ~/.bash_profile afterwards.

If using zsh for your shell, you may need to load and start bashcompinit before sourcing. Put the following in your .zshrc:

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source /FULL/PATH/TO/ee-completion.bash

Development

Development of easyengine is done entirely on GitHub.

We've used wp-cli framework as a base and built EasyEngine on top of it.

This repo contains the main core of easyengine (the framework). All top level commands(except ee cli) i.e. ee site, ee shell have their own repos.

Currently, we have the following commands which are bundled by default in EasyEngine:

• site command
• shell command

In future, the community will be able to make their own packages and commands!

Contributing

We warmheartedly welcome all contributions however and in whatever capacity you can either through Pull Requests or by reporting Issues. You can contribute here or in any of the above mentioned commands repo.
