If you are trying to implement a blog you can try out AvatarFree (php as well): https://avatarfree.org https://github.com/5mode/AvatarFree It is a software on premise, assl and corporation free to own your social presence.

Wordpress wants to manage its update. I have some sites with this stack (OpenBSD/mariadb/php-fpm/httpd) and it just works. >From this stack, the only thing that you will find in man pages is what is related to httpd. You could also read pkg-readmes for mariadb and php-fpm. And, as Peter said, the rest will be on internet. Good luck. -- Manuel Giraud

Which manpages should I read? > Thanks in advance, Both wordpress and joomla are written in PHP, so start by installing it and reading the README file the php package installs in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/php-8.2 There you'll find carefully described the steps you need to to do run php stuff in the /var/www chroot with OpenBSD' httpd (and also notes for Apache httpd and nginx). Pay particular attention to the "Extension modules" section since wordpress will need a few of them, "Living with chroot" and "Making network connections". Similarly, you'll also need mariadb (for wordpress at least.) Same thing, the package installs a README file with the relevant information. Then, installing wordpress is a matter of fetching the latest sources, unzip them somewhere under /var/www/ and run the installer. It will probably complain about a few missing php modules (stuff like php-gd or maybe php-zip). Install them, restart php-fpm, rinse and repeat until it's happy :)
Re: OpenBSD_one_site_web_hosting_software_recommendation
Yep, WordPress is doable. I’ve never used Joomla, so I can’t say for sure. One thing to note is that OpenBSD httpd does not have the .htaccess mechanism. So sites relying on Apache httpd .htaccess features might need some thought. OTOH there is a port for Apache httpd… HTH Mike > Am 09.11.2023 um 12:58 schrieb Peter N. M.

Re: OpenBSD_one_site_web_hosting_software_recommendation
WordPress and Joomla can be deployed without using a port/package. I've always done it this way. It's up to you which web server you choose. I'd go with OpenBSD httpd because I really like its simple configuration (in contrast to Apache). If you decide to use httpd, definitely read httpd(8). httpd.conf(5) has some very neat config file examples. If you plan on using an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, you will find acme-client(1) most useful. It's really nice light replacement for certbot. See this guide for installing WordPress on OpenBSD: https://www.openbsdhandbook.com/howto/wordpress/ In essence, you'll need to set httpd up to use PHP (examples have that covered), and set up MariaDB. Then you drop WP files, extract them in the server root, and complete the process in the web browser. WP also has an install guide you can follow: https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/before-install/howto-install/ This one will probably use Apache, though.

Which manpages should I read? You're probably right that those systems do not come pre-packaged for OpenBSD. But simple web search on "wordpress on openbsd httpd" and "joomla on openbsd httpd" yields enough seemingly relevant hits that I strongly suspect both are doable. I have not tried either myself, though. -- Peter N. M.

OpenBSD_one_site_web_hosting_software_recommendation
Hello, I have a task to launch from scratch one site web hosting google cloud instance. I know OpenBSD does have httpd web server, but I couldn't have found neither wordpress nor joomla software neither in packages nor in ports (7.4 -stable). Is there a possibility to launch wordpress or joomla on such an instance on OpenBSD? Which manpages should I read? Thanks in advance,
