v0.1.0 — Inaugural public release

What this is

Bash toolkit + runbooks for hosting WordPress on AWS:

• Bootstrap a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 EC2 with Apache (mpm_event) + PHP 8.3-FPM + WP-CLI + Redis + RDS CA bundle + ufw + fail2ban + 2 GB swap.
• Scaffold per-site directories, RDS DB+user, Apache vhost, PHP-FPM pool, and wp-config.php.
• Back up databases and uploads to S3 via the EC2 instance IAM role (no AWS keys on disk).

End-to-end validated against a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VPS — see plans/bootstrap-validation.md for the step log.

Adapt before running

• Replace your-org-clients placeholders with your actual GitHub org for client repos.
• Replace acmeshop / acmeshop.example.com with your real site identifier and domain.
• Pre-create your S3 backup bucket and IAM policy as described in BACKUP-SETUP.md.
• The ct- command prefix is just a short tag — rename if it doesn't suit your team.

Known follow-ups

• install-php-version.sh, fix-permission-site.sh, and install-tools.sh are referenced in PROJECT-BRIEF.md but not yet committed here.
• A migration-checklist-bluehost-to-aws.md is referenced but not yet committed.
• create-site.sh and backup-site.sh have not been validated end-to-end yet — they require a real RDS endpoint and an S3 bucket.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full breakdown.
