= Hosting a public Wordpress site on Portainer =

![ ](httpswww.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png)

Hello all, I'm technically literate (I can program a variety of languages) but networking and sys-adminand I'm looking for resources that can hand hold me through setting up my own wordpress site on Portainer and making the site accessible through NOIP domain name or something like that - also I don't have a fixed IP.

This is my current setup:

Internet service provider: Comcast residential Router / Wifi: Google Nest Wifi Server: Home build PC running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

I can setup the Wordpress site in seconds (httpsimgur.com/a/kkGEyn6) but the part I'm getting stuck on is how to make the site accessible both from other computers in the house (httpsimgur.com/a/GhOss1M) and then to the internet.

I looked around but I couldn't find any resource that does exactly what I wanted (a lot of tutorials are for cloud services, which I don't want to use).

Can anyone point me to the right tutorial / set of instructions?

Thanks in advance.

p.s.: apologies if this is not supposed to be posted, I looked at the guides in the wiki but it wasn't obvious where to start from.

Short version.

Host your site.

Forward your ports to it.

Long version,

Assume your website is like a ssh server, which automatically logs everyone in as root without a password, and treat it as such.

Segregate it away from everything else. Make sure it's on a dedicated dmz vlan. Seperate vm/server.

Seriously, treat it as a huge open security risk.

Do all of that, and you are gold!

It's how I host httpsxtremeownage.com
