Hi all. I’ve just bought XStore to create an Online Store. First step of mine is to setup a development environment on dev.mysite.tld. I’m just getting into WordPress and XStore, so i asked myself what is a good pratice for a dev site?
My current plan/setup:
Using wordpress on a local LXC Container with local IPv4 192.168.x.x and _no_ HTTPS. Would be the easiest way for me. Before i do that i asked myself if that is really a good practice:
Since i am setting up a store i’ll need WooCommerce and WooCommerce Payments. Will i be able to fully test payment solution with a dev site on a local IPv4 and not reachable from the outside and not using HTTPS?
I also could use dev.mysite.tld on a public IPv4 with a valid Let’s Encrypt Cert on a dedicated server. But that would be more pain to setup 😉
Just want to make sure i am not running into limitations with my dev-install. How do you setup dev sites?
Thanks for any hint!
