Great stuff as always thanks
Really Great!! Please make a video how to update latest wordpress on Synology... Thank you
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Thanks for this video
Does anyone have any ideas about how to setup a second docker wordpress to work with the same existing maria 10 DB rather than using a separate database in docker since it is absolutely useless and resource intensive to create duplicate copies of maria 10 DB when we already do have one....
how to modify the database, for example we will add a table to the database, how do we do it?
Direct and easy to follow, thanks
Thank you for this video! Is it possible to have multiple websites running at the same time on the NAS? (Each their own database etc.) thanks!
Glad it helped! There are ways, but using the packages (which this video uses) might get tricky. For situations like that, I'd recommend using Docker. It will handle it a lot cleaner.
Hi great video, I was wondering if you could have multiples Wordpress sites hosted on synology, for instance I would like to transfer my website from the web and run it on the synology.. is that possible?
I haven't done it myself, but I don't think you'll be able to use the Synology packages to do that. You can most likely use Docker, however!
Fantastic tutorial, had me up and running in minutes. Thanks!
Can I use apache 2.4 with no problems? Also how to make this https only?
Yes, you should be able to use apache 2.4 without any problems, though the configuration might be slightly different.
For HTTPS, you can force HTTPS by updating the wp-config file. Here is an example on how to do it: stackoverflow.com/questions/31888405/correctly-force-ssl-on-wordpress-via-wp-config-php
@@WunderTechTutorials thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial. Would you recommend this method over docker with reverse proxy?
I love docker for the portability, but when I was hosting my website on my NAS, I just used the package. Depending on what your goals are, it might not hurt to run it on docker - especially if you'll consider moving it to a separate device in the future.
Thank you. As a normal standard human i can tell you not much of that made any sense to me.
Had to walk away from it for a while, but thanks, eventually got there. 🌼👍
Great video, it's very useful! Question, can I create 2 websites with the same procedure? Or can the Wordpress NAS app host only one site? Thank you
Thanks! I haven't tried to do that, but I imagine you could - you just might have to use different ports.
Excellent et ça fonctionne enfin; merci!!!
Thanks for great video! I have a suggestion for a video that I think would be a big hit: I would like to see how to connect one or more WordPress docker containers to a MariaDB database docker container using Nginx Proxy Manager inside the Synology NAS docker environment. Is that even possible?
Thanks so much! Theoretically, I wouldn't think that it would be a problem, but I haven't personally done it. I will add it to my list of future tutorials!
I did.
hello when I install wordpress package, they ask me directly to setup via DSM, if I cancel they ask me to reinstal then to setup etc,
any tips please?
What do you mean by "ask you to directly set it up via DSM"? Have you installed the packages following these instructions?
Any chance that you'd do another tutorial for setting up WordPress on the 7.X DSM versions? Lots of settings have changed and it's proving pretty difficult to navigate since the Web Station package can't see the WordPress installation directory without pointing to it using the Package Server Portal option. This also causes a lot to change when wanting to drop the /wordpress extension from the website's URL. Thanks, @WunderTech
Definitely plan on updating the tutorial! Hoping to do it in the next few weeks on the website, then hopefully a new video on here after that!
@@WunderTechTutorials It still mostly works with some slight troubleshooting. So there's not a ton that changes, but for more first-time users it could be nice to see how to deal with the changes. Thanks for the vid!
@@WunderTechTutorials Hwo do I drop the /wordpress extension with Wordpress being in the new Web Packages Directory?
@@ImxFelix It's been a while since I've tried, but I think that it was in the web station settings. You had to update the path.
H, thanks for another great video. I do have a few issues. Since I'm on DMS 7 things are a little different. For one the virtual host is not in the same place but I managed to find it, LOL. (Web Station/ web service portal/create service portal, click on virtual host.)
And I had to figure out that I needed to go to web station/scripting language and double click on the WordPress profile then extensions to tick "mysqli" 🙂
When I go to create the virtual host, web-packages folder is not an option, only web/web-images show up. Any thoughts on that. Also, the url in WordPress setting is greyed out, not sure if that is related or not, so I cannot change that and it still only works under .../wordpress
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks,
William
I will have to look into this. My best assumption is that this is a permission issue on the folder (as of DSM 7) since the option isn't there for me either.
@@WunderTechTutorials Hi i have the same problem with the web-packages, there is only the folder web-images. Do you got any solution for the problem?
@@Julian-qq5el I unfortunately haven't had time to look at the setup in DSM 7, but I'm hoping to create a video on it at some point in the future.
If you install WordPress using the IP address of the NAS, how can you do the necessary changes to access using the domain name at a later date?
The changes will have to be made on the WordPress side. It's definitely possible, but it is a pain. I haven't had to do it in about two years though, so maybe it's easier now.
I don't remember exactly what has to be done, but anything referencing the IP address needs to be updated.
Web station is different in the Synology DSM 7. Can you please upload a new tutorial with the changes.
I will definitely take a look and create a video!
I have my synology DDNS address pointing to my wordpress pages through web stations virtual host but it takes forever to load the web page. Any reason for this?
None that I know of to be honest. If it's a minimal website, it shouldn't have any major issues with performance.
May be better to use a docer container for this services?
Up to you!
hi, thank you for your video, but I do have problem as I can't change the name of the address of the website on wordpress, so I have to type my website/wordpress.... any idea how I can fix that? thanks in advance
In the document root on the Virtual Host, did you select the direct WordPress folder?
@@WunderTechTutorials yes and when I do so it is not working
Hi i can't add the certificat ( sorry it's in french "échec de l'opération. Reconnectez-vous à DSM et réessayer. )
Are you receiving an error?
Wordpress always installs under web_packages and the synology cant find that path for me.
Are you able to access WordPress at all?
Sir i need your help to hosting my full stack website in Synology nas complete project is built in mern stack which is react for frontend and node for backend this is not for company use this is for myself .do you help me with that?
Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with that so I'm afraid that I won't be much of a help.
:(
@@WunderTechTutorials it's node js sir
Hi. Thanks for the vid. Unfortunately no matter what I do to the hosts file, I cannot pass step 3. When I go to install, and try change path to the ip address etc, when I click next on language, it goes to the welcome screen setup, but defaults back to my synology address and not the domain address. Any ideas would be greatly received and appreciated.
I haven't seen that personally happen, but if it keeps happening, you might have to push through with the IP. You CAN change that field later - it's just not always the easiest.
@@WunderTechTutorials Thanks for getting back to me. The issue is, I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to these matters, so do you have a video of how to make those changes. I have a .com domain and a static IP address. I had this all up and running but a few days ago, something happened and I could not get back in to reset. So I have completely forgotten how I managed to get it up and running.
@@bell_nz8008 I unfortunately don't have a tutorial on that. You'll basically have to set it up and then focus on changing the URL in WordPress.
Any chance of an update on this tutorial for DSM 7 please?
Yes, I'll add it to my list!
@@WunderTechTutorials Thank you so much.
Hi, the video is great and all, but i'm stuck in the stage of creating the virtual host. Can't select the wordpress folder because it's in web_packages folder, which isn't showing.
I am using DSM 7.
I haven't tried this on DSM 7 yet unfortunately (still just have it migrated from DSM 6), but does the user you're logged in as have access to that folder?
I found the solution to this, under web station, go to web service portal, then create service portal, then create a package service portal and select WordPress. This lets you edit the domain and ports etc, without the need to put the path location to the WordPress web_packages directory, it already knows it's for the WordPress package.
@@Christronics Thanks Christopher, this really helped me out on my upgrade to DSM 7
@@Christronics THANK YOU! I was almost tearing my hair from my head!
when i go to my website it automatically brings me to the http version, i have to change it to https manually everytime, ive changed both the siteurl and home to the https link but it still doesnt work
There are a few ways to change it but look into doing it with the .htaccess file. Probably the easiest way of doing it.
Great tutorial, give me better idea to setup in synology wordpress
Im not using synology default 5001/2 ports per you recommend in other video
Task (im looking for options installed 5-12 development sites in wordpress and if can drupal)
Synology don’t have options with drupal (docker is a option?)
Is a option To make a user/root in mondodb with phpMyAdmin?
I normally upload new wordpress.zip files to web folder is quite quick (i get difficult to create correctly)
I haven't used drupal or tried to install multiple WordPress sites on one NAS, but it sounds like drupal in Docker is possible. Honestly though, your performance will probably be pretty terrible, so it might be worth it to host this on a more capable device.
@@WunderTechTutorials WordPress is light and performing well on (another NAS) in Synology steps uniquely to install (Synology 718+ or 1520+ easy can handle numbers of WordPress site or development theme testing)
Thank you for the numbers off tutorials you share (It's a very helpful and great resources)
@@agnemedia624 Thank you for sharing and for watching!! I appreciate the kind words!
@@WunderTechTutorials it’s better to use pi-hole for local dns or synology dns app?
Can you please create or explain practical way to used Synology DNS, proxy server, mail server, synology high availability, Git server
Thank you
@@agnemedia624 Either is fine to be honest. If you use Pi-hole, you get the benefits of blocking ads, while the DNS server package will only act as a local DNS server.
I will certainly add those items to my list for future videos! Thanks for watching!!
can i install WHM or cPanel anyhow ??
I'm unfortunately not sure. It's not something I've ever done, but I'm sure it's possible somehow in the command line!
is it possible to configure it for wordpress multisite?
I believe that you can host multiple websites on a NAS, but it's not the most straight-forward process. You might want to look in to Docker if you're going to host multiple.
@@WunderTechTutorials It's simply a jam down that path. Even when I set up a docker wordpress it simply won't connect to existing maria 10 DB no matter what... That's why most people also setup docker maria 10 DB as a db to run that docker wordpres... but that did not even work on mine somehow due to fucwitness levels and fracking contamination to drinking water reducing peoples capacity to provide proper guides. *drops the mic
@@dennisyildirim2708 I haven't set up WordPress on Docker, so I can't comment. My preferred approach is using Synology's package with a Cloudflare origin certificate.
i bought a google domain, do i need to still create a DNS as shown to transfer that google domain name to the wordpress site i made through my synology nas?
update: Just got further, it looks like yes? lol
Yes, a record must be created pointing back to your local network.
The site address URL in wordpress settings is greyed out.
I figured it out, changed it by using phpmyadmin, still great video btw!
Glad you were able to get it working! Sorry for not getting back to you in time!
I watched your video but didn't work. My website still goes the the local ip. to get to the site I enter my domain then add /wordpress if I don't and just use my domain I get 403 web page. any suggestion, thanks.
When you installed it, did you use the IP address to install or the domain name?
@@WunderTechTutorials domain name
Also the first time I tried to set this up my Synology had version DSM 7 and that didn't work because wordpress does not get installed in the root directory. So I downgraded to DSM version 6.2.4 because it does install in the root directory. And as I said I still could not get it to work, thanks again.
@@77seiichi Unfortunately, if it didn't install that way, I think you'll have to go in and edit it. The steps can be found online (there are a few, so I can't document them all here), but that should solve your problem.
@@WunderTechTutorials Nice hand off there ;-(
Am I able to host a e-commerce site on it?
As long as it runs on WordPress, yes.
Excellent video. I have a ton of "things" that I'd like to access remotely. I watched your reverse proxy video which was good as well. I just couldn't get everything working the way i wanted. It all conflicted with my NextCloudPi instance that uses UPNP 80/443 to get the SSL cert.
Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching! Any chance that you can use 80/443 for the reverse proxy and create a new reverse proxy to the NexCloudPi? You will have to get the cert through the reverse proxy server, though. You won't be able to get it through NextCloud.
Let me know if I can help at all!
@@WunderTechTutorials I'm sure I can make it work. I'm just afraid I'll break everything..lol The Reverse Proxy sounds like the way to go and your video explained it very well. I would be interested in you doing some Synology Docker videos using reserve proxy and such.
Thanks for this video; it really helps me!!! I still have 2 problems (excuse my English, I'm French) :
1. While trying different method un TH-cam, I deleted my \web\index file. I tried to uninstall all the
Web package (PHP, Web Station, WordPress) and reinstall but no new \web\index's file arrived.
2. I'm working on a Windows computer so I add an alias in my host's file to link my Synology IP address
with my domain name. I use your trick with my domain name to setup WordPress and it all went very well. After installation, I can access WordPress's console but, I can't download anything by using /wp-admin.... The error message is : "No working transports found". It works fine when accessing the console using /wp-admin...
Any suggestion?
Thanks for watching! The index.php file only loads the wp-blog-header.php file. If you're interested, here are the contents of the file (just create a new index.php file and paste these contents in).
