This WordPress Antivirus Plugin is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Feel free to contribute, share, and modify the plugin within the terms of the license.
Contributions are welcome! To get started with development, please use the provided devcontainer. This will ensure that you have a consistent development environment that's ready to go.
The devcontainer is configured to mount the source code into the containers. This allows you to work on the code from your local machine, while running and testing it in an environment that closely matches the deployment environment.
Within the devcontainer it starts a wordpress-environment with docker composer within that you can even debug the code running directly in wordpress.
When you change code, it is not instantly put into the container because the directory that is actually mounted is the scoped-code directory.
When starting something bigger you can just set the mount-point in the ./compose.yml and the /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/gdata-antivirus in the ./.vscode/launch.json to the working directory meaning . or full path /workspaces/wordpress-gdata-antivirus.
Doing this, you still have to test your changes with the scoped code, so basically reset your changes and rebuild the container.
To avoid rebuilding the container on every change you can also just run the ./.devcontainer/configureWordPress.sh script with the simple source .devcontainer/configureWordPress.sh command. This will run the scoper and restart the composed containers.
To switch to a mode, where your changes are directly affecting the running wordpress container we provide the switch-live-develop-mode.sh script. Running this the first time will change the .vscode/launch.json and compose.yml files, so that the code in the root folder is directly mounted into the container and the debugger also points to this code (if you have a debugger running you have to restart it once).
When running this script within a running container, you have to run source .devcontainer/configureWordPress.sh once to start live mode and once when you switch back to scoped mode.
Please do not commit the code while in live mode. Just run the script again and it will reset these changes.
If you want to run the cron event directly user this command.
docker exec --user www-data -it gdata-antivirus-app-1 bash -c "XDEBUG_CONFIG='client_port=9080 client_host=172.19.0.1' wp --debug cron event run --all"
To debug the the cli you also have to configure xdebug to connect to your container ip.
While this plugin enhances the security of your WordPress installation, no security measure is foolproof. Regular backups and other security best practices are still recommended to ensure the safety of your website.
Thank you for choosing the gdata-antivirus. Stay secure!
