Preparation

There are some things we need to do in preparation to install this service. 

 Volumes 

 

 Persistent Data 

 This is where the service will store its own application data and ensures we can quickly update the service image. 

 Ensure your user has permissions to access the folder. 

 

 

 Environment 

 

 DB_USER 

 This is the username to be used for logging into the database. 

 For example: wordpress_admin 

 

 

 Passwords 

 Keep these securely stored in a password manager, such as VaultWarden . 

 

 DB_PASSWORD 

 This is the password that will be used for access to the database. 

 It is important to use secure, randomly generated password. 

 You can use a random alphanumeric string from a password manager, or open the terminal and run the command: 

 tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9!"#$%&'\''()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~' </dev/urandom | head -c 32; echo 

 This pulls a random string from the ' urandom ' device, removes unwanted characters and trim it to an appropriate length.
