- me. I've remembered running into this issue before, and Wordpress has a section
- on it on their
- <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#One-click_Update">codex</a>.
- Essentially: WordPress determines what method it will use to connect
- to the filesystem of your server based on the file ownership of your WordPress
- files. If the files are owned by the owner of the current process (i.e., the
- user under which the web server is running), and new files created by WordPress
- will also be owned by that user, WordPress will directly modify the files all by
- itself, without asking you for credentials.</p><p>So all I had to do was figure out what worker process nginx was running under.
- After chatting on
- #debian or irc.freenode.net for a second, a user said that their worker process
- was <code>www-data</code>. And indeed cat <code>/etc/passwd</code> shows that there is a user <code>www-data</code>
- on my system. And <code>/etc/nginx.conf</code> said user <code>www-data</code>; All I had to do to get it
- to work was a <code>cd /var/html/www/; sudo chown -R www-data</code> . And now WordPress
- will handle updates automatically! Coolio!</p></div></article></section></main><footer><p>© 2020 Joshua Branson.
