Today I will tell you how to simply and securely keep your own website with only TrueNAS SCALE? Well a little bit will help us Cloudflare. Free SSL certificate. DDOS protection. And on top of that no hosting fees.

 

Interested? welcome but first:

What is it about?

 Today our goal will be to install our own WordPress-based website. The assumption is that you already have your own TrueNAS SCALE server. In addition, we will need an account on Cloudflare to which we will point our own domain. If you would like to know more details, I invite you to watch the video [Cloudflare tunnels - secure access to applications]. If you just want to spice up your own site then I simply invite you to continue. In the background will be doing all the work for us TrueNAS SCALE and Docker about it and how I also have material [TrueNAS SCALE + Docker + Kubernetes - how to do it] but moving further forward.

Why do we do it(in this way)?

There may be at least several reasons. For example, we want to have full control of us our site and we do not want to lease, buy, configure, under it a dedicated server. Then we configure the web server, configure the network, ports and a few more attractions that may arise in the course.

 

Sometimes a site can contain large amounts of images or videos, which means that hosting may not be optimal or simply expensive. And in holding large amounts of data is TrueNAS after the port knows how.

 

Sometimes if we have a small test or quick project it is not insignificant that it can be done in a dozen minutes with no prior preparation and no extra charge.

 

Sometimes the reason may be that any self-respecting nerd should keep his own page at his desk.

 

Leaving aside the reasons already, let's just do it.
