Use WordOps with DigitalOcean's volume¶

This is assuming you start with a brand new droplet and a brand new volume.

Getting Started¶

1) Create Droplet.

2) Add volume –> Automatically format and mount

This guide is based as if your volume would be named: YOUR-VOLUME

3) Login to the droplet from the console, will ask for root password change.

4) Create directory /var/www where we will mount the volume and WordOps will be installed.

mkdir -p /var/www

Steps 5 and 6 are according to DigitalOcean -> Volumes -> 'More' tab of YOUR-VOLUME -> Config instructions

5) Mount Digital Ocean's volume in /var/www

mount -o discard,defaults,noatime /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_YOUR-VOLUME /var/www

6) Change fstab so the volume will be mounted after a reboot

echo '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0DO_Volume_YOUR-VOLUME /var/www ext4 defaults,nofail,discard 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

wget -qO wo wops.cc && sudo bash wo

You can enable autocomplete right after install with: source /etc/bash_completion.d/wo_auto.rc

8) Install WordOps stacks (optional)

wo stack install

And that's it!

Just check with df -h or in netdata if /var/www/ is shown with the correct size of your volume.
