I've scribbled the command down and will do so, thanks!

Just to blow away some of my grump cobwebs I'm not just trying out Flynn, I'm still using Flynn! The hiccups were just going to be temporarily patched by hijacking my ServerPilot controlled machine (WordPress on Flynn.. Haven't managed that one yet!) until it felt a bit more stable in the dev/stage environment. :)

Awesome!

Would be cool to learn how you are approaching Wordpress on Flynn. I have poked around at writing an asset backend that talks to Flynn's blobstore because a family member wanted me to host their Wordpress site but haven't quite gotten around to it.

We merged the MariaDB database appliance a little while back which took care of the other major roadblock to getting Wordpress to "just work" on Flynn.

I'm `jpg@freenode and josephglanville on Github, hope to see you around. :)

That one was more a "I wonder if I can.." than a required thing so I didn't fully give it a go. I was giving Bedrock[1] a try for it which may have complicated matters further trying essentially to learn two new things at once.

I imagine my thought process at the time was "Flynn is like Heroku and Heroku is all about 12 factor apps. Bedrock seems to be a 12 factor WordPress, I'll try that!". It also somewhat matched up with the rest of what I do in Laravel so the standard composer, PHP, .env, MariaDB vibe. I'll give it another shot over the weekend, I don't recall what stopped it working.

Major thanks on adding MariaDB support by the way, I know mysql and the likes get their fair share of flak but it's what I've used for the past decade or so, more comfortable with it than postgres :)
