Trellis is an open source project and completely free to use.

However, the amount of effort needed to maintain and develop new features and products within the Roots ecosystem is not sustainable without proper financial backing. If you have the capability, please consider donating using the links below:

Requirements

See the full installation docs for requirements and our getting started pages for more OS specific instructions.

Installation

Create a new project:

$ trellis new example.com

Local development setup

1. Review the automatically created site in group_vars/development/wordpress_sites.yml
2. Customize settings if necessary

Start the Vagrant virtual machine:

$ trellis up

Read the local development docs for more information.

Remote server setup (staging/production)

A base Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) or Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal LTS) server is required for setting up remote servers.

1. Configure your WordPress sites in group_vars/<environment>/wordpress_sites.yml and in group_vars/<environment>/vault.yml (see the Vault docs for how to encrypt files containing passwords)
2. Add your server IP/hostnames to hosts/<environment>
3. Specify public SSH keys for users in group_vars/all/users.yml (see the SSH Keys docs)

Provision the server:

$ trellis provision production

Or take advantage of its Digital Ocean support to create a Droplet and provision it in a single command:

$ trellis droplet create production

Read the remote server docs for more information.

Deploying to remote servers

1. Add the repo (Git URL) of your Bedrock WordPress project in the corresponding group_vars/<environment>/wordpress_sites.yml file
2. Set the branch you want to deploy (defaults to master)

Deploy a site:

$ trellis deploy <environment> <site>

Rollback a deploy:

$ trellis rollback <environment> <site>

Read the deploys docs for more information.

Migrating existing projects to trellis-cli:

Assuming you're using the standard project structure, you just need to make the project trellis-cli compatible by initializing it:

$ trellis init
