[20:54] <winircuser-374> good afternoon Team was wondering if anyone has experience installing lamp or lemp on ubuntu 20.04 have a few questions
[21:01] <CodeMouse92> winircuser-374: Just ask your question, and if someone can help, they will
[21:02] <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
[21:03] <winircuser-374> my goal is to create a website on ubuntu 20.04 using wordpress
[21:04] <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
[21:06] <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.
[21:07] <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?
[21:08] <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
[21:09] <CodeMouse92> winircuser-374: https://alternativeto.net/software/wordpress/?license=opensource&platform=self-hosted
[21:10] <CodeMouse92> Jekyll is pretty popular these days. I've also played with Grav (never deployed anything).
[21:11] <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.
[21:12] <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 
[21:13] <coke> Jekyll or Hugo are the way to go 
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <sarnold> good luck :)
[21:38] <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 :(
[21:39] <patdk-lap> if you don't need all that stuff to be dynamic, you could use a static site exporter
[21:40] <coke> indeed
