Check out SatisPress. It caches WordPress plugin updates and makes them available as a Composer repository. I use it to:

- Automate Composer support for commercial plugins
- Keep vendor code out of version control
- Download updates for testing/diffing

Pro tip:

add a Cloudflare WAF rule to block common scanner paths like .env, .git, wp-login

they get blocked at the edge and never touch your server

@JiveDig That's good to hear. Kids sure do know how to keep us busy. 🍻

[Brady Vercher @bradyvercher]

@JiveDig Cool! Let me know if you have any thoughts or run across any issues. Things are going all right. How about yourself?

@topher1kenobe I've had good luck with @b33ts in the past.

@ryandonsullivan Don't make me dust off the cobwebs! So many ideas, so little time. Most of what I've seen is just a thin wrapper for the official JS embed code.

Shiny Code is intended to be a self-hosted alternative: https://t.co/IN53LCMIwE

@NateWr Yep! I named it... node-wp-i18n: https://t.co/zgpBYODiTE The Grunt package uses it under the hood.

@Rarst It's been awhile since I looked, but I think the main thing it was missing for me was automation. I don't really want to track updates manually.

[Brady Vercher @bradyvercher]

@GaryJ Congrats on the big move!

[Brady Vercher @bradyvercher]

@angelov_dev Thanks! WP Emerge looks interesting. I'll have to dig in when I get a chance!

[Brady Vercher @bradyvercher]

@peakwebsite Thanks for reading and I appreciate the note about the link. Cheers!

Just released a major rewrite of SatisPress to make it easier to use Composer with commercial plugins and themes. Huge thanks to @GaryJ for helping push this forward! https://t.co/7HEnMfMjWA

I snapped a picture of a Kissing Bug with my Pixel and not even two days later Google News started showing me articles about Chagas disease. Maybe ignorance is bliss. https://t.co/KWQCqMQtue

I just deployed a WordPress site pulling Composer dependencies from a SatisPress repository running in production for the first time. And it worked!

It's also Friday afternoon, so we'll see what Monday has to say about this decision.

For all of you that didn't want to run the build process to install the Shiny Code block, it can now be installed directly from a zip file: https://t.co/bwwLyE0z0T

@salcode No problem and Happy Friday to you as well!
