How to HOST WORDPRESS SITE at home on SYNOLOGY (The right way in DSM7)

Wordpress is by far the most popular way to deploy a website for either personal or business use for free! This tutorial goes over the full setup and installation of a Wordpress site in DSM7.0 including building the database manually so that we can easily add in a second Wordpress site later on.

Can you please make a updated video for DSM 7.2?

[GeekendZone]

At Minute 12:59 you create the virtual host, but here I am lost because version 7.2 is totally different, if you can check that Will would be infinitely grateful, regards.

Thanks for your video Will! I spent hours trying to figure out how I could set up a web server with certificates, redirection, etc. You answered all my questions! The explanations are very clear and allowed me to quickly set up a wordpress. Your content is of great quality, thank you!

You are the first person I have enabled notifications on. Thank you.

When I get to webportal and click create I don't see virtual host mine just shows web service portal and alternative portal of default server. Have synology changed the menu or have I done something wrong?

[metooyou]

First off, I have to say, this is the best video I ever seen on the subject!!! Could you please explain the section at 15:30. I don't understand how to get to the WordPress configuration file.

Synology dosn't have any Virtual Host option anymore, what is the work around?

[ArdBisschop]

I did not get WP correctly installed via the Synology app, this video made it work for me! It also explained what other settings needed to be configured on NAS and DNS side. Thanks!

Thankyou will cheers from Sweden. Love your tutorials, I can only imagine how much effort you out in. PS Its more enjoyable to watch your kitchen as background rather than a solid blue color. Cheers!!

[DocKeul]

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed. Finally I have the newest version of Wordpress on my NAS 🙂

[timothyhdiganjr]

Thank you, can't even explain how much your videos have helped me over time. When I get to 15:35 and type my domain into browser, Wordpress setup does not appear. Do I need to wait for propagation? Is this a symptom of a specific fix? Felt like I followed so closely to arrive at this dead end. Thanks

[seanieg]

If I already have a single website hosting on my NAS but not installed the “right” way should I delete everything and start from scratch or is there a way to update/fix it to the correct way. The end result I am looking for is to host multiple different sights. I am only able to host one currently.

Great tutorial btw..

Follow you for a long time way before you got married😊. Appreciate all you do and offer us.
In this post, question
At time stamp 15:35 after giving http Read/Write permissions you tell us, “now we should be able to go to Wordpress” and continue with the install. I followed this word for word ( or so I thought) but I missed something for sure. I done see or know how you got to the browser tab with Wordpress up in the browser.
Any ideas before I start digging?
I’m not a high tech guy but have enough with great help to get things done.
Thank you sir!!

Hi, thanks for this much-needed video, I was able to follow everything up until the 15:37min mark when you said "open Wordpress". It's at this point I get lost. Where do you open Wordpress? I know when you tell me the answer that it will be self-evident but I cannot figure it out, please help.

[DanA-ebik]

Excellent videos man. Great stuff, thanks for posting these, I’m hooked!

[droll]

First off thank you so much for this video i was able to get a Wordpress site up and running under my own domain name. I do have a question what is the best way to update Wordpress, plug-ins, themes etc?

[orvillebriffa]

Thank you very much for this video. It´s amazing ! y solved all my doubts with wordpress on synology !

[Equality-and-Liberty]

Good video. It helps me get my WordPress site installed. However, I wonder how i can find my FTP connection information since i am hosting the site on-prem? Is there a way to let WordPress use a self-hosted FTP site?

[sonarfreq]

Apache 2.2 not available on my synology NAS... can we use Apache 2.4.. that is available?

[BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Perhaps you could do a video on setting up a knowledge base on synology? Preferably a user-friendly one. NASes are often used in small business it could be potentially interesting to many, since as the business develops, having a commonly accessible structured body of knowledge becomes a necessity. They could be off use to a household as well.
Some sort of wiki? I know there's various wiki options, but if you have experience with several you could perhaps point out the best one.
For me, though I'm relatively tech-savvy, I for since reason don't deal well with wiki, and would prefer something more wysywig.
