Do you want to host website on Raspberry Pi with a customised domain on a Raspberry Pi?
I did too, but couldn’t find any guide to do so, hence decided to write one myself.
We’ve covered earlier How To Install a WordPress on a Raspberry Pi, while the tutorial will allow you to install a website on Raspberry Pi. the site is only accessible on your local home network.
So if you want to show your friends your cool website filled with memes, you will need to do more.
In this tutorial we provide a comprehensive Step by Step instructions on how to create your first website on WordPress and make it accessible from Internet.
The Setup – The Software We Will Use
Unlike the earlier tutorial which explained how to install WordPress using
Why LEMP is a better option for Raspberry Pi?
LEMP is an open-source software stack which comprises of Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP, the E stands for Nginx, go figure :).
Nginx vs Apache debate is wide-ranging that we will cover sometime in a future post, but for this exercise, we chose Nginx simply because while Apache can do a lot and has a lot of flexibility and features, Nginx has limited features but is extremely good at what it does. To use an analogy, Apache is a swiss army knife, while Nginx is a sharp cutting knife.

Seems to be working but I’m getting an error “413 Request Entity Too Large” when I upload a theme.
That is because both NGINX and PHP is has a maximum upload size, I think 20 MB. You should try this:
1. open php.ini by typing the following command
sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini2. Scroll down till you find the following line “upload_max_filesize = 20M” and change it to “upload_max_filesize = 100M”
3. Scroll again till you find “post_max_size = 20M” and change it to “post_max_filesize = 100M”
4. Press Control + X, press Y and Enter to save.
5. open nginx.conf by typing
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf6. in the http section, add a line (also notice the semi-colon, php.ini has different syntax)
client_max_body_size 100M;
7. Press Control + X, press Y and Enter to save.
8 Restart the NGINX server by running the command
sudo service nginx restart
This should solve your problem
I was changing the /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini, no wonder I was not able to get it to work.
I’m getting a”Error Establishing a Database Connection” error. How to fix?
Mate, can you recheck if the password that you are entering during the initial WordPress configuration is correct. If that doesn’t solve the problem, reach out to me on Twitter.
Searched half the internet for a method to bypass carrier-grade NAT (CG-NAT) before finding your solution.
Although the auto-start causes occasional problems and doesn’t start.
