Self-hosting WP on Raspberry PI3B

  • Dear all,

    I am rather new to WP but managed to install WP on a fresh RPI 3B. I have uploaded my content and created a photo blog.

    All works fine within the local network using the IP address of the RPI 3B.

    Now in order to access the Blog from outside I have regitered a domain, created a DynDNS entry and pointed the domain to the DynDNS address.

    My issues are:

    1. When calling the registered domain from outside the local network it takes ages to load the page? Do you have any idea why that is? On the local network it all appears quickly but externally it takes ages. I have tried to apply caching via a WP plugin and overclocked my RPI but the result is the same.

    2. When trying to add my self-hosted WP to my WP app it says that it doesn’t look like a WP site. Can it have something to do with the performance issues above?

    3. Once I have loaded the page via internet (waiting a long time because of the performance issue) I spot that pictures won’t be shown on the page. If I hover over the picture it points to the IP address of the image (e.g. https://192.168…./test.img). Do I need to change the permanent settings to use the domain name instead of the local IP?

    Any hint on that would be great.

    Stefan

  • 1. How fast is your network? What is the performance of MySQL? It really sounds like a DNS issue

    2. WP App? What do you mean by that?

    3. You need to perform extra configuration to your server?

    I could fix some things by applying the following changes:

    1. sudo a2enmod rewrite
    2. Adding

    <Directory “/var/www/html”>
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    To the Apache Config.

    My issue is now that the blog is reachable via the external domain but when I change to https://mydomain.de/wp-login.php then I get then empty page. This may also be the reason why my iPhone wordpress app cannot add the self hosted blog.

    Anyone an Idea how to fix this?

    I have experinced the white screen of death and i know that the site i am working on is hosted with wordpress.com i have checked the dns records and this is what it is stating.
