He pēnei tō mahi, he pē

He mea nui he tino whai ake ana: he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae.

Snapshots (Pānga Whakamahinga)

He snapshots he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae, he pēnei te kaha ki te whakaae.

I tēnei whakamārama: i roto i te whakatūpono (backup) tuku iho, e whawhai ana ngā files me ngā database, ko snapshot e whawhai ana ki te disk katoa. Ko te mea he, ā, he whakapaihia te data o te waka web i te snapshot, engari he whakahirahira hoki te operating system me te configuration. Mo ahau, mō tau kē, he tino manawa tēnei, ko he taea ai te whakawhanaungatanga (spawn) i te waka hou i te ora katoa mai i te snapshot me te whakahaere i a ia ki te mahi hei whakakiko i te waka e hāpua. Eke ana te whakataunga hoki; ko te whakatau mō te whaiaro i ngā files anō he tino ātaahua, ko te whaiaro i te snapshot image katoa he pēpi ki te disk ki te instance e pai anō, kia taea ai te whaiaro me te whakahaere.

He tino pai hoki akorua o te utu mō te whānau (hosting provider) ahau, engari he pēpi tēnei i te waipuna (insurance policy) mo ngā pēpi.

External Scripts

He tino nui te whakamahi o mga script me āhuatanga katoa e hoki ana ki te whakatūpono WordPress me ngā manawa MySQL, ko hei whaiaro mō Ultimate Multisite he tino pai ahau, ko he plugin o WordPress e fa'anau i te filesystem me te database o WordPress. Ko te mea he, he whakataunga e whakatūpono ngā waka web e hoki ana ki ngā pēpi o Ultimate Multisite.

Ko ahau ka whaiaro i tētahi script mō tētahi, engari ko te whakaahuatanga ahau he whakamārama mō te whakahaere: kia whakatū ngā whakamārama (backup) me te whakatau anō (restore) i ngā waka web kē hei tiaki i te mea he tino pai te mea e hiahia atu, ā, kia mārama tonu ahau ki te mahi o tēnei script me te whakaaro mō te 'be sure to be sure' ko he whakatika tonu ahau i te script me te mahi o ia, hei tauira i te wā he whakamahia ngā hāpi (differential backup strategy).

He tino nui te whakamārama ki tēnei: i roto i te wahe, ka whai whakaaro ahau ki te pūmanawa (system load) e whaumaru ai ngā script-ngā-whakatika.

Plugins

He tino pai hoki ahau i WordPress ko he mea e taea te whawhai ana me tētahi plugin, ā, ko he heke ahau mō te whakahaere i mga script kē ko he heke ahau mō te plugin.

Kua whakatika i te plugin, he tino tika ana kia whakačaka akua e ko multisite aware ia. I te mea he pēnei te mahi, i roto i te wā e pēnei te whakamahinga o te backup, e taea te whakarite he whakawhiti (load) ki te server i te wā e whakatōa ai te mahi.

Domain me SSL

He tino whai whakaaro ake ana mō ngā domain names i te mode subdomain o multisite. He whakataunga mā te reo katoa mō ngā network administrators he whakamahi i wildcard DNS entries.

Ko tēnei wahi DNS e taea ai te whakamaoritanga (resolve) i ngā subdomains pēnei i ‘site1.domain.com’ me ‘site2.domain.com’ ki te IP address o 1.2.3.4, ā, ko te mea he whakatipu ana i Ultimate Multisite me WordPress Multisite i te mode subdomain.

He tino tika tēnei mō HTTP pēnei i te target host e pātaki mai i ngā HTTP headers, engari haere mai i te wera (web) he pēnei i kinei ko he kaha ana ngā whakataunga HTTPS ā-auā.

Māori, he tino pai ahau ki te whaiaro i roto i ngā rātou whakamahi. He hoki nui tō papai mō ngā certificate SSL. I te mode subdirectory he taea ai te whakamahi certificate o te domain whānui (regular domain) mo te mea. He pātaka mārie me tino pai ana e taea te whaiako i a ngā provider o hosting, i roto i te mea, he mōhanga free LetsEncrypt service au he rāua. He tino pai ana hoki ki te mua, engari he kaha ai te whakamahi i ngā authority (ngā wāhi whai tikanga) inā e taea ai koe te whakarataki i te certificate signing request.

I te mode subdomain he āhua mō te whakamahi wildcard SSL certificate, he tino pai ana ia ki te domain whānui (wildcard domain) me pātaki i te certificate kia tika mo te root domain me ngā subdomains katoa i roto i te mea, he mea nui.

Engari, me te whakaaro ahau, he taea te whaiora i ngā wildcard SSL certificates nei me ngā services kua whai ake, ko Cloudflare, i raro i te plan enterprise koe, engari e whai te entry ki DNS-only mo te mea, ka whakatika ai katoa te caching me optimization.

Ko Ultimate Multisite o te mua (out-of-the-box) he pēpi mō tēnei wakamārama, he tino whakaatu i tō mātou wāhi nui me ngā pēpi o ngā needs o WordPress multisites. Ka whakatika ai ko te add-on pēpi pēpi he whakamahi i ngā credentials o Cloudflare mo te whaiaro i ngā DNS entries mō ngā network sites i Cloudflare me te whakatika i te mode ki 'proxied'. I te mea, i tēnei wā, ko every network subsite, i te whakamaoritia, he hoki katoa o te full protection me ngā manawa o Cloudflare, including SSL.

I te mea e taea te whakarite i te whānau me te whakamahi o tō Ultimate Multisite installation, he mea nui ki ngā customer ki te whakamahi i ngā domain o rāua. I te mea, ko te network administrator e whakawhanako ana i ngā pēpi iki. He tino pai ahau mō te whaiaro i roto i ngā rātou whakamahi. Ko te pēpi tahi: he hosting o te domain name me ngā SSL certificates mo te domain.

Muitiahi, he tino āta mātairo te whakamahi o Cloudflare. Ka pēnei te mea, ka puta te mea eke i te mea ka plāke i tō domain ki Cloudflare, ka whai i CNAME ki te root domain o Ultimate Multisite, ka whakatika (map) i tō domain ki Ultimate Multisite kia tīmata te whai i te faia o tō wāhi domain mō te whakamahi.

E taro atu i tēnei, ka mea e tika ana te whawhai mō whakaaro ā-alternative, he tēnei te mea e tino whai ake ai Ultimate Multisite ki te whakatū rāwā o mga Compatible Providers (whakamahi). He tino pēnei te mea, he tino whakamīharo te mahi i te DNS me SSL. Engari, mōwhiti, me te whai i te whakatika o Ultimate Multisite ki ngā provider-whakaaro mōna, ka whurangi te tino āta mātairo ko te mahi, ka whakahou (automate) te whakataunga.

Plugins

He tino tika ana te mea eke i te mea ka tino pai te whakamahi plugin whero kia puta he mahi mō tō mga wāhi o ngā customer me ngā network sites. He pēnei ko katoa ngā plugins ka tino pai ki WordPress Multisite me Ultimate Multisite? He tino whakatika ana.

Engari, i roto i te mea, ka pēnei te whakamahi (activation) me te whakatau (licensing) o ngā plugins eke i te mea e titiro ana i te awiri (author).

He tino whakatika ana ko te mea e tika ana i te mea he pēnei te whakamahinga o te licensing, he pēnei te mea ka tino whakaaro ana i te mea ka tino pai ana ngā plugins ka tino tino pai ana i te perero (per-domain) mō te licensing. He tino whakatika ana ko te mea e tika ana i te mea ka tino tino pai ana i te perero o te network administrator ki te whakamahi te license mō every plugin ki every new site.

He tino whakatika ana ko he tino pai te whakaaro ki te whakahau (check) ki te author o te plugin kia whai i te mahi o tō plugin me WordPress Multisite, me ngā tino āta mātairo ka tino tika ana e pēnei te whakamahi (licensing).
