Set Up WordPress on OpenBSD

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Synopsis #

Deploy WordPress on OpenBSD with the base web server httpd(8) , PHP-FPM from packages, and MariaDB from packages. OpenBSD runs the web server in a chroot(2) at /var/www, so name resolution and interprocess communication must work from within that environment.

Privileged commands use doas; configure administrative access first.

Preparation: Name Resolution in the httpd Chroot #

Ensure that processes running inside /var/www can resolve hostnames. Create the chroot’s /etc and provide resolver configuration per resolv.conf(5) . Optionally create /etc/hosts entries per hosts(5) .

Synopsis #

This guide combines the base-system smtpd(8) service, packaged Dovecot IMAP and LMTP delivery, and packaged Rspamd filtering into one small mail server. It uses system accounts and Maildir storage to keep the initial design reviewable.

An Internet mail server is an operational commitment. Correct DNS, abuse handling, TLS renewal, filtering, queue monitoring, backups, reputation, and timely upgrades are part of the service. Test the complete design on a non-production domain before changing live MX records.
