Off the top of my head, I’m not sure what would cause that. Have you made sure your site keys are different for staging and production?

@fullyint

It sounds like you’re running the server.yml playbook separately, once for group_vars/staging, then again for group_vars/production. You could possibly make that work if you change the “site key” in your group_vars/staging to something different, like staging.example.com. That way, when trellis creates nginx conf files using that site key name, you’ll in fact have two separate conf files.

You will see the install WP install screen after your very first deploy, but you shouldn’t see the wp-admin/setup-config.php asking for database info etc.
