fails to generate zip on basic docker install about static-html-output

[leonstafford]

in ArchiveProcessor.php:239:

$temp_zip = $archive_path . '.tmp';

we're not using WP's get_temp_dir(), so it tries to create in uploads dir

further looking, archive directory is empty. needs to fail much earlier

out of practice wth Docker.

issue was with container needing to access WP on same URL/port as defined in Site URL/Home, while allowing host to also access WP.

Using default WP docker image, this is easiest done by mapping port 80:80, as vhost within container already set to listen on 80.

If changing after WP installation has already occurred, can override URLs in wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://localhost');
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://localhost');

or search-replace values in DB via WP-CLI.

With other images, can use custom vhost templates to proxy requests or have Apache listening on same port as host for same result.

Back to this original issue: crawling every detected URL was failing. This was logged in WP2Static's Export Log when Debug Mode was enabled, but allowed export to complete, attempting to zip an empty archive directory.

Export log logged as:

Crawling /wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/assets/images/2020-square-1.png
cURL error:Failed to connect to localhost port 8000: Connection refused
BAD RESPONSE STATUS (0): /wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/assets/images/2020-square-1.png 

Different than 404's which we want to log and continue the export, these cURL connection refused errors should throw an exception, preventing the crawling to keep attempting and failing on each URL and export process to attempt to continue with an empty archive dir.

Deployment step should also throw an exception when given an empty archive dir,

if putting into Docker quick start guide, also mention disabling default web service running on 80, in case of default Ubuntu installation, for example; provide own WP2Static image with php.ini and vhost custom templates to allow on non-standard ports for those wanting to elegantly run many sites on local machine
