| winircuser-374 | good afternoon Team was wondering if anyone has experience installing lamp or lemp on ubuntu 20.04 have a few questions | 20:54 |
|---|---|---|
| CodeMouse92 | winircuser-374: Just ask your question, and if someone can help, they will | 21:01 |
| winircuser-374 | so question is if someone has successfully followed the document on ubuntu site to install lamp with taskel or follow another guide there is linode and there is also digitalocean guide | 21:02 |
| winircuser-374 | my goal is to create a website on ubuntu 20.04 using wordpress | 21:03 |
| sarnold | maintaining wordpress on your own is probably not great fun; it might be worth just paying wordpress people for a hosted instance if wordpress is the thing you want | 21:04 |
| CodeMouse92 | winircuser-374: The Linode and Digitalocean guides are pretty reliable in general, IME. However, I agree with sarnold that self-hosted Wordpress isn't really worth it.... | 21:06 |
| CodeMouse92 | Not least of all because there are a LOT of security vulnerabilities. | 21:06 |
| CodeMouse92 | My security logs from my servers show fairly consistent attempts to hack Wordpress (which I don't even run). it's one of the first attack vectors crackers go for. | 21:07 |
| winircuser-374 | is there a better platform better than WordPress that's more secure | 21:07 |
| winircuser-374 | to manage the website? | 21:07 |
| sarnold | it's all up to what you want from the system; a lot of folks love using static site generators like hugo and then sticking HTML onto a simple nginx or apache server. | 21:08 |
| sarnold | but if you want / need something that's more dynamic than that, or allows anyone and everyone to do things with clicks in the web interface, that wouldn't work great for you | 21:08 |
| CodeMouse92 | winircuser-374: It depends. There are a LOT of CMS tools (That's what you're looking for) | 21:08 |
| CodeMouse92 | Or static site generators, yeah | 21:08 |
| CodeMouse92 | winircuser-374: https://alternativeto.net/software/wordpress/?license=opensource&platform=self-hosted | 21:09 |
| CodeMouse92 | Jekyll is pretty popular these days. I've also played with Grav (never deployed anything). | 21:10 |
| winircuser-374 | there are more static but was looking for something I can interact with MySQL database | 21:11 |
| winircuser-374 | that's secure | 21:11 |
| CodeMouse92 | winircuser-374: Joomla might fit the bill, potentially. | 21:11 |
| CodeMouse92 | Or, honestly, you can also build your own with something like Django (Python), Symphony (PHP), or Flask (Python) that's fit to your exact purpose. | 21:12 |
| coke | joomla had way more security issues than Wordpress in the last few years | 21:12 |
| CodeMouse92 | coke: Good to know | 21:12 |
| coke | but its always better to generate static files if you just build a page for your own | 21:12 |
| coke | Jekyll or Hugo are the way to go | 21:13 |
| winircuser-374 | thanks for your help ill try with the WordPress just to get idea of how website works then I can reinstall and secure it with a better version thanks so much for all of your help as I am a beginner | 21:20 |
| sarnold | good luck :) | 21:21 |
| coke | make sure you keep your Wordpress and the plugins updated and you should be fine | 21:38 |
| patdk-lap | wordpress plugins/themes are the worst :( | 21:38 |
| patdk-lap | if you don't need all that stuff to be dynamic, you could use a static site exporter | 21:39 |
| coke | indeed | 21:40 |
