This commit introduces a more reliable and consistent approach to setting up the development environment using backups: - Add setup-from-backup.sh script for environment setup from existing backups - Standardize script naming and organization - Move obsolete scripts to bin/obsolete directory - Update documentation with new workflow instructions - Create migration guide for transitioning to new workflow - Update Memory Bank with workflow improvements The new workflow provides: - More reliable environment setup - Faster setup process - Offline development capability - Consistent development environments across team members Breaking changes: - setup-dev.sh is replaced by setup-from-backup.sh - sync-and-setup.sh is replaced by separate scripts - verify-with-wpcli.sh is no longer used Migration path is documented in MIGRATION_GUIDE.md

Migration Guide: Development Environment Workflow
Status: Active/Authoritative Last Updated: March 26, 2025 Scope: Transition from old to new development environment workflow
This guide helps you transition from the old development environment workflow to the new backup-based workflow.
Overview of Changes
The development environment workflow has been updated to use a backup-based approach:
Old Workflow
setup-dev.sh → sync-production.sh → verify-dev.sh
New Workflow
sync-production.sh → setup-from-backup.sh → verify-dev.sh
Why the Change?
- More Reliable: The new workflow uses existing backups, reducing the chance of errors during setup
- Faster Setup: Setting up from a backup is faster than syncing directly from production
- Offline Support: You can set up the environment without needing access to the production server
- Consistent Environment: Everyone uses the same backup, ensuring consistent development environments
Migration Steps
Step 1: Update Your Repository
# Pull the latest changes
git pull
# Make sure you have the new scripts
ls -la bin/setup-from-backup.sh
Step 2: Clean Up Your Current Environment (Optional)
If you want to start fresh:
# Stop and remove containers
docker-compose down
# Remove volumes (optional, will delete all data)
docker volume prune -f
Step 3: Check for Existing Backups
# List available backups
ls -la backups/
If no backups are available, create one:
# Create a new backup from production
./bin/sync-production.sh
Step 4: Set Up Using the New Workflow
# Set up from the latest backup
./bin/setup-from-backup.sh
# Verify the environment
./bin/verify-dev.sh
Script Mapping
| Old Script | New Script | Notes |
|---|---|---|
setup-dev.sh |
setup-from-backup.sh |
New script uses existing backups |
sync-production.sh |
sync-production.sh |
Same name, updated implementation |
verify-dev.sh |
verify-dev.sh |
Same name, updated implementation |
sync-and-setup.sh |
Use both scripts separately | Split into two separate steps |
Common Issues and Solutions
"No backup found in backups/ directory!"
# Create a new backup from production
./bin/sync-production.sh
"Cannot connect to production server"
You can still set up the environment if someone else has created a backup:
- Get a backup from another developer
- Place it in the
backups/directory - Run
./bin/setup-from-backup.sh
"Database connection issues"
# Check database container
docker-compose ps | grep db
# Restart containers
docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d
# Verify database connection
./bin/verify-simple.sh
"WordPress is not accessible"
# Check if WordPress container is running
docker-compose ps | grep wordpress
# Check WordPress logs
docker-compose logs wordpress
# Restart containers
docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d
