Install WordPress and LAMP by automated script on a Debian 10 VM


This is a first draft but has been tested, script will create an user, update your system, Install LAMP, set up the firewall, create a MySQL database, will download and configure the latest WordPress version and create Apache virtual host for you automatically. All you need to do are the following :

Create a Debian VM , I’ve used UPCloud.com for testing, rename you hostname with your Domain address before deploying. SSH and copy the content of the script in a file, give execute permission and run it on your shell : ex.

nano script.sh
chmod +x script.sh
sh script.sh, Happy hacking..
