Plyorde Daemon Installation

Plyorde is the engine under the hood of PlyWP. As a core daemon service, it manages WordPress operations, executes background tasks, and coordinates system-level services to keep your sites running smoothly[cite: 1].

Prerequisites

Before diving into the installation, ensure your environment meets these minimum requirements[cite: 1]:

System Dependencies

Plyorde relies on several industry-standard tools to manage your server environment[cite: 1].

Core Requirements

• Database: MariaDB or MySQL[cite: 1].
• Web Server: Nginx, Apache (apachectl), or Caddy[cite: 1].
• PHP & WP-CLI: For WordPress core management[cite: 1].
• Init System: systemd (systemctl) or openrc (rc-service)[cite: 1].
• Utilities: ACL tools (setfacl), process managers (pgrep, cron), and filesystem tools (e2fsprogs, util-linux)[cite: 1].

Automated Dependency Install (Debian/Ubuntu)

Run the following script to prepare your environment with all necessary packages[cite: 1]:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e

apt update
apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release

# Install MariaDB, Nginx, and PHP Stack
apt install -y mariadb-server mariadb-client nginx \
  php-cli php-fpm php-mysql php-curl php-zip \
  php-gd php-mbstring php-xml php-intl

# Install WP-CLI
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar -o /usr/local/bin/wp
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wp

# Core Utilities & Filesystem Tools
apt install -y systemd passwd acl procps cron at \
  util-linux e2fsprogs findutils coreutils

Database Configuration

Plyorde needs its own database to store operational data. Use the following snippet to set up a dedicated user and database[cite: 1].

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS \`plyorde\`;
CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'plyorde'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_strong_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON \`plyorde\`.* TO 'plyorde'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Binary Installation

Download the latest release directly from GitHub. Ensure you choose the architecture that matches your server (e.g., amd64 or arm64)[cite: 1].

# Replace version and arch as needed
export PLYORDE_VERSION="0.1-alpha"
export ARCH="amd64"

curl -fsSL "https://github.com/plywp/plyorde/releases/download/\${PLYORDE_VERSION}/\${ARCH}-linux-plyorde" -o /usr/local/bin/plyorde
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/plyorde

Configuration & Connection

1. Log in to your PlyWP Panel[cite: 1].
2. Navigate to Admin > Connectors[cite: 1].
3. Create a new connector and enter your server details[cite: 1].
4. Switch to the Configure tab and copy the generated command[cite: 1].
5. Run the command on your server (ensure you have root privileges)[cite: 1].

Daemon Management (systemd)

To ensure Plyorde starts automatically on boot and recovers from crashes, create a systemd service unit[cite: 1].

Create Service File

Create a file at /etc/systemd/system/plyorde.service[cite: 1]:

[Unit]
Description=Plyorde — PlyWP System Daemon
After=network.target mariadb.service
Wants=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/plyorde
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Start the Service

After saving the file, reload systemd and start the daemon[cite: 1]:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable plyorde
systemctl start plyorde

Next Steps

Now that the daemon is humming along, you're ready to start building[cite: 1]:

• Verify Health: Run systemctl status plyorde to check for a "running" status[cite: 1].
• Security: Review the Security Hardening Guide[cite: 1].
• Deployment: Add your first WordPress installation via the Panel[cite: 1].
