This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make WordPress live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages.
If you are new to Virtual Machines, then please watch the Video below ( taken from my other project. just replace td with wp wherever mentioned )
After starting this VM, please login to its administration panel with:
Website Address: https://wp.local/wp-login.php
( Accept Any Warnings Due to Usage of Self-Signed https Certificates )
Admin Username: admin
Admin Password: change_this
from any PC on your Local Network.
Your Website Viewers can access your Posts, by Visiting : https://wp.local/
Once setup & running, please ensure that a Backup of the system, is taken regularly, to avoid any issues.
These are covered in the video. Google Search helps in finding more about WordPress.
Features
- Please visit https://wordpress.org/ for the complete list of features and documentation
- If you like WordPress ( as i did ), you can support its development efforts, by donating to https://wordpressfoundation.org/donate/
- A small correction in the Video below: Choose a LAN Card Network Adapter Connection in Virtualbox ( Not Wifi ), after connecting your PC to your Router / Switch, with a LAN Cable. If the Router / Switch has a DHCP Server enabled inside, then the Virtual Machine, will be able to obtain an IP Address from it, quickly.
