Configre custom Nginx entrypoint (Local Wordpress)

Introduction

This guide will take you through the steps for configuring your MDOQ hosted Magento 2 site to serve a Wordpress site.

Prerequisites

• You must have a Wordpress codebase within your repository. (In the directory wp)

Guide

Because Magento 2 sites are served through Varnish we need to intercept any and all requests to /wp/* before it gets passed to Varnish.
To do this we need to add a https conf template, commit it to source control and then finally recreate the Nginx components.

1. Add a https template
   Our live domain www.example.com
   Path to template file: mdoq/nginx/templates/www.example.com_https.conf
   In this file we are going to add the following:

location /wp {
  root /home/magento/htdocs;
  index index.php;

  try_files $uri $uri/ /wp/index.php?$args;

  location ~ \.php$ {
      fastcgi_pass fastcgi_backend;
      include fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
  }
}

2. Commit this file to source control. (This can be done through the source control dialog)
3. Recreate the Nginx component (This can be done through the synchronise dialog)
