Docker is incredibly simple to install and get started. We will be installing the repository version on Linux Mint. This installation should work on any Debian system.

Publishing to all the available Social media sites can end up being monumental. Using IFTTT, rings hollow to followers and friends. Orchestrating content from WordPress using NodeRED Automation may be my answer. Stay Tuned.
My first efforts with Node-RED and Twitter were simple and promising. I was able to send a Tweet in a matter of moments. However, as I used the “contributed” Twitter nodes I quickly realized I would need to do much of this the hard way. At this point I will be digesting the following documentation from Twitter.
There is quite a bit in this documentation so I am learning both Node-RED and Twitter Authorization at the same time. If I can climb this mountain I expect I will learn many things.
Working on manual backup of my WordPress site I developed a very simple approach to migrate the WordPress database user along with their password. This can be used on any or multiple users of the database.
From the source database open a new query and enter the following SQL: Replace mcp_user with the user you would like to migrate.
show create user 'mcp_user'@'localhost';
First, using the MySQL Workbench connect to the source that has your user.
It should look something like this:
Run the query and then you can copy the results by right clicking on the Result Grid row and selecting “Copy Row (Unquoted)”. Connect to your local MySQL instance and paste the result into a new query.
we will use the same command but for grants, again replacing “mcp_user” with your user.
show grants for 'mcp_user'@'localhost';
Perform the same copy action from above but this time select both rows before right clicking.
When you are finished you should have in your local host the following query, add a USE database; statement at the top, where database is the name of your schema.
USE mcp_wordpress; CREATE USER 'mcp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS '*A4852D8F9BDEFAXXXDD35EED97BEXXXYYY4E5BA' REQUIRE NONE PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK; GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'mcp_user'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ONmcp_wordpress.* TO 'mcp_user'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ONmcp_wordpress.* TO 'mcp_user'@'localhost';
Run this SQL and the attempt to login and do a show database to confirm.
mysql -u mcp_user -p
The password will be the same as the originating database
show databases;
Only the one database should be listed in my case.
That’s it, seems like a lot but it only 7 or 8 lines of SQL. If you know how to execute the results of the SHOW GRANTS or the SHOW CREATE, statements or an easier method, leave a comment I would love to learn that without a lot of digging around.
