I spent some time working from my stockpile and did an experimental wooden ring. This ring is a composite of epoxy and Macassar Ebony https://hochwald.us/product/macassar-ebony-wooden-ring/ It took a little while to find the right shape, fit, and finish, resulting in this ring being very comfortable to wear.

Progress

From zero to first product in an eCommerce store in a single day, all with Docker on Linux, WordPress and WooCommerce. Seems like a productive day.

Here’s how I did it:

Piggybacked on my existing Docker host running many other things in my environment
Set up a new MySQL docker container.
Set up a new WordPress docker container.
Configured my domain name to point to the host.
Configured my reverse proxy to enable an upstream on the back-end to WordPress
Enabled LetsEncrypt for HTTPS and setup certbot
Enabled the certbot challenge directly on the reverse proxy
Configured WordPress
Added WordPress themes
Added WooCommerce plugin
Configured WooCommerce
Added first sample product.

Over the next couple of days I’ll get the photography for the products in place and post more items on the store. Feel free to ask detailed questions and I’ll consider adding a more detailed setup guide.
