Environment Detection

The orchestrator automatically detects your WordPress environment:

Docker Environment

# Check for docker-compose.yml with WordPress
if [ -f docker-compose.yml ] && grep -q wordpress docker-compose.yml; then
    echo "Docker WordPress detected"
fi

# Check running containers
docker ps | grep wordpress

WordPress Playground

# Check for Playground blueprints
if [ -f blueprint.json ] || [ -d blueprints/ ]; then
    echo "Playground environment detected"
fi

# Run Playground with blueprint
npx @wp-playground/cli server --blueprint=./blueprint.json

Standard WordPress

# Check for wp-config.php
if [ -f wp-config.php ]; then
    echo "Standard WordPress installation detected"
fi
