WordPress

The WordPress examples show three ways to deploy the same application stack with incus-apply: OCI containers, a Debian system container, or a virtual machine.

All variants provision a working WordPress site with a database backend and a Caddy frontend exposed on port 80.

OCI containers

wordpress-oci.yaml runs WordPress and MySQL as OCI containers by using Incus OCI support.

Prerequisite:

incus remote add docker https://docker.io --protocol=oci

Environment variables:

  • MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD with default rootpassword

  • MYSQL_PASSWORD with default wordpresspassword

incus-apply wordpress-oci.yaml

Debian system container

wordpress.yaml provisions MariaDB, Caddy, and WordPress inside a single Debian 13 system container using cloud-init.

Environment variables:

  • MARIADB_PASSWORD with default wordpresspassword

incus-apply wordpress.yaml

Virtual machine

wordpress-vm.yaml provisions the same stack inside a Debian 13 virtual machine and adds a block storage volume for persistent database storage.

Environment variables:

  • MARIADB_PASSWORD with default wordpresspassword

incus-apply wordpress-vm.yaml
