Install Wordpress using nginx - turned to Nextcloud install

Hello all,

Is there a guide for installing Wordpress on OMV 4, using nginx, please?

I have installed MySQL, nginx, created a database, FTP'd all of the wordpress files to the correct public directory (and edited wp-config.php), but I just get a 403 Forbidden error when I try to install Wordpress through the browser.

I am quite happy to list all of my steps but just wondered if there is a guide that I could refer to first.

EDIT: I have found this morning that if I drop an index.html file in the same (root) directory as the wordpress files, it works. I can enter the ip address and I see the page in the browser.

I have more or less followed the guide below, from here, save for the fact that I have uploaded all of my files for install via FTP, rather than SSH.

Add shared folder for mysql database - mysqldb
Add shared folder for wordpress - wordpress


Install mysql
Enable mysql using mysqldb shared folder
Enable SQL Management site
Save and Apply
Set mysql root password
Click Launch Management Site
Login with user root and new mysql root password
Go to Database menu
Click Create New
Enter wordpress and click Create Database


Install nginx plugin
Enable nginx
Save
Add pool from Pools tab
  - name: wppool
  - user: www-data
  - group: www-data
  - leave other settings at their defaults
Add server from Servers tab
  - Check Enable
  - Directory:  wordpress
  - Check Use root
  - Port: 8080
  - Check Enable PHP
  - PHP-FPM pool: wppool
  - Check index.php


Enable ssh
Save
Click Apply


Connect via ssh (use putty) and login as root
Find Root path in Servers tab for newly created server - use for path in next step
cd /media/long_uuid/wordpress/
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar xvzf latest.tar.gz --strip-components=1
rm latest.tar.gz
Go to: http://omv-ip-address:8080/

Thanks,

Nick.

Hi,

Thanks, maybe you're right but I just feel its so close that I'm going to stick with it for now!

Ah, thanks for the heads-up!

That's something that I really should have considered.

Cheers,

Nick.

OK, I am upgrading and I have hit this screen with no idea what to say...

Let me know if I should ask this somewhere else.

Ha! Glad I posted it then as I was just going to say 'yes'!

I am following this guide and It occurs after entering this command on the CL

apt-get install usrmerge

Thank you,

Nick.

EDIT:

Now this has happened:

OK, I have posted this instead in the upgrade forum as it doesn't really belong here. I'll be back once I get Wordpress installed to detail how I did it in case that helps someone else.

Thanks, peeps, for you advice so far!

Nick.

OK, all upgraded now and much, much more familiar with things after using the command line lots and installing Docker and Portainer.

So, are there any guides you guys would recommend for installing Wordpress using Docker?

Thank you!

Nick.

Oooh, this should be fun. Just think what a mess I can get myself into with this!

Thanks so much!

So, do I create the stack out of the first bit of code and then run the next two from the CL? Do you think maybe I am just out of my depth here because it doesn't make too much sense to me?

Thanks, Agricola,

That looks a bit more like my level, so I will try this later on. I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers,

Nick.

OK, so all is going well and I am at the point where I create and edit the .yml file but I have a question:

Quote from macom

do not place the config folders on a mergerfs mount point

I don't know what this means, and also, I'm not sure how I should edit these line in the .yml:

volumes: - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1/appdata/nextcloud/config:/config #/srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1 needs to be adjusted

- /srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1/appdata/nextcloud/data:/data #/srv/dev-disk-by-label-disk1 needs to be adjusted

What do I replace dev-disk-by-label-disk1 with, I suppose its a uuid, but how do I know which one?

Thanks,

Nick.

OK, great - thank you, Agricola - seems i have messed up the domain name though.

This is what I get when I run docker logs -f swag

root@omvpeR310:/home/docker1/nextcloud# docker logs -f swag

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- The following errors were reported by the server:

Domain: www.mydomain.ddns.net

Type: dns

Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for www.mydomain.ddns.net

- check that a DNS record exists for this domain

ERROR: Cert does not exist! Please see the validation error above. The issue may be due to incorrect dns or port forwarding settings. Please fix your settings and recreate the container

I use no-ip.com, and my domain is http://mydomain.ddns.net I was thinking I'd switch to duckdns at a later date as I didn't quite get how to install it and I have been using no-ip for years.

Does this mean that I need to edit the .yml and how would I do that?

Thanks,

Nick.

EDIT: OK, so I can edit the .yml with nano docker-compose.yml but what do I enter for the domain??

Another EDIT: Sure that my port forwarding is correct and DDNS is set up on the router. I think I am understanding things correctly here - pics attached.

Yet another EDIT: Its the next day now and I just found a guide on installing DuckDNS, so I will try to do that first.

Its me again: Right, duckDNS now running on OMV (yay!) and I have updated the domain name in the .yml to the mydomain.duckdns.org address using nano. Written that out, exited, but docker logs -f swag giving the same error, with the old domain name.
