WordPress is set up…

So, I’ve finally decided to make a website. I guess making it entirely in react isn’t feasible since it is only for personal use. I have tried in the past but that was more of a learning project than anything.

This WordPress instance is running WEGLOT which has an API for translating the page directly and I personally think that such a service for free is very good.

You can check it out by selecting the language in the bottom corner, I don’t know why it doesn’t show the language text in black font, but it’s unneccessary.

Setting up the server was as easy as making a docker compose file in my portainer instance and forwarding it to the port it is running on using nginx reverse proxy.

Docker compose yaml for wordpress and mysql

  wordpress:
    image: wordpress:latest
    ports:
      - "targetport:80"
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: dbuser
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: dbpw
      WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: dbname
    volumes:
      - wordpress_data:/var/www/html
    restart: always

  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootpw
      MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
      MYSQL_USER: dbuser
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: dbpw
    restart: always

volumes:
  wordpress_data:
  db_data:

Passwords redacted for obvious reasons but this should get you up and running.
