I wrote a script years ago that let me spin up a WordPress instance, complete with vhost file. I wrote it in python and it was , at least for me a pretty impressive feat! Recently, I’ve been going over some of my old code and giving them a bit of a dust off. I’ve made a few changs to the code that I feel makes marked improvements on it…albiet small!

Here is the code in it’s entirety:

To break it down a bit, the main change was in moving to f-strings. This makes the code cleaner and easier to read. Instead of %s in all the spots that needed dynamic data and then %(domain, domain, path, path, domain, domain), I can just include the variables directly with {var} instead!
