# CloudPanel Stager (`clp-stager`)

A lightweight, interactive Bash script for CloudPanel that clones a production website into a fully functional staging environment in seconds.

It automatically:

1. Provisions a new staging site using the same PHP version as production.

2. Clones the files using a fast `tar` pipeline to preserve integrity.

3. Detects your production database, exports it, and creates a new database for staging.

4. Imports the data into the staging database.

5. Auto-updates Laravel (`.env`) or WordPress (`wp-config.php`) with the new staging database credentials.

6. Clones Varnish configuration

7. Asks to issue Let's Encrypt cetificates by listing all the required domains, make sure you've pointed the DNS records before proceeding.

## 🚀 How to Install & Run on Your Server

You don't need to clone this entire repo to your server. You can create and run the script directly via SSH.

### Step 1: Connect to your server

SSH into your CloudPanel server as the `root` user:

```bash
ssh root@your-server-ip
```

### Step 2: Create the script file

Open the `nano` text editor to create the file:

```bash
nano /root/make-staging.sh && chmod +x /root/make-staging.sh
```

Copy the code below, paste it into the `nano` editor, save (CTRL+S), and exit (CTRL+X):

### Step 3: Run the Script

Whenever you want to spin up a staging site, simply run:

```bash
/root/make-staging.sh
```

Use your arrow keys to select the production site, type in your staging domain (e.g., `stg.example.com`), and the script will automatically clone the files and database!
*(Note: Ensure you have pointed your DNS A-Record for your staging domain to your server IP).*

## 🧹 Cleaning Up (Destroying the Staging Site)

Once you are done testing your changes and have pushed them to production, you can easily clean up the staging environment to free up server resources.

You can delete the site and database directly from the **CloudPanel GUI**, or if you prefer the command line, simply run the following two commands (replace `stg.example.com` and `database_name` with the values generated by the script):

```bash
# 1. Delete the database
clpctl db:delete --databaseName=your_staging_database_name

# 2. Delete the staging site and user files
clpctl site:delete --domainName=stg.example.com
```
