Introduction

This repository can be used as a third party library or as a standalone Docker application.

The main use case is to anonymize a database filled with user and customer data before committing it to a VCS repository. It will anonymize both WordPress base data and WooCommerce data.

Docker standalone usage

Run this command to automatically anonymize your WordPress database.

WARNING! This operation is irreversible. Make a database backup before proceeding. To make automatic backups of your WordPress database, you can use williarin/secure-mysql-backups.

docker run --rm \
    -e DATABASE_URL='mysql://user:user@127.0.0.1:3306/wp_mywebsite?serverVersion=8.0&charset=utf8mb4' \
    williarin/wordpress-anonymizer

Usage

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();
$connection = DriverManager::getConnection(['url' => 'mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/wp_mywebsite?serverVersion=8.0']);
$tablePrefix = 'wp_';

$anonymizer = new Anonymizer([
    new UserProvider($connection, $faker, $tablePrefix),
    new UserMetaProvider($connection, $faker, $tablePrefix),
    new CommentProvider($connection, $faker, $tablePrefix),
    new WoocommerceUserMetaProvider($connection, $faker, $tablePrefix),
    new WoocommercePostMetaProvider($connection, $faker, $tablePrefix),
]);

$anonymizer->anonymize();

// or use a provider to anonymize only a part
$commentProvider = new CommentProvider($connection, $faker, $tablePrefix);
$commentProvider->anonymize();
