Ask HN: How to set up WordPress server with a read only file system
What I would like to achieve is WordPress running on a read-only file system, probably with a ram disk to handle things that does not to be done when the computer is running.
Reboot it and I would be back to the proper configuration. I would schedule one reboot every 12 hours I figure.
Does anyone know of any good documentation on handling the read only / ram drive configuration.
I had a great link from a long time ago but I just cant find it.
(Yes WordPress is bad. I should use a static site generator with nearly free hosting anyways)
I know but I have not found one I like yet.
(Yes hosting in your own home is a bad idea. you are not not setup for power failure, disk failure, scaling, etc)
All true, but I would like to try it. I think performance wise I will easily reach parity with cheaper end WordPress hosts) Plus if it goes down, well it wont be a big deal, I am not enterprisy.
I will have a dedicated hardware firewall in front of it.
