WordPress CMS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by ProvenCloud

WordPress on Azure, ready in minutes. Deploy the virtual machine, open its public IP address in a browser and you are ready to go. There is no installer to run and nothing to configure.

WordPress is an open source content management system that powers a large share of the web, from personal blogs to company websites and online stores. This image gives bloggers, small businesses and agencies a working WordPress site in minutes, with no installer to run and no database to create, so you can choose a theme and start writing straight away.

Why teams choose this image

• Build anything: blogs, business sites, online stores and portfolios with thousands of themes and plugins. The site address follows the VM's public IP until you add your own domain.
• No shared default password: every VM sets its own passwords from its own VM ID on first boot, so no two customers share a login.
• Up to date: every component is on its latest stable release and the image carries all Ubuntu 24.04 LTS security updates, with nothing pending.
• Supports Trusted Launch with Secure Boot and vTPM. No build-time SSH keys or shell history are left in the image.

What is included

• WordPress 7.1.4, core files verified against the official checksums
• WP-CLI 2.12
• Apache with PHP 8.3-FPM
• MySQL 8.0
• phpMyAdmin for database administration
• Webmin 2.670 for server administration
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched

Getting started

Your site is http://<vm-public-ip>/ and the dashboard is /wp-admin: sign in as admin with your VM ID (Azure portal > the virtual machine > Properties > VM ID). phpMyAdmin (/phpmyadmin, user root) and Webmin (port 8000, user admin) use the same password.

Ports opened for you: SSH 22 and 80, 8000. For production, limit admin ports to your own IP address and add your domain with an SSL certificate. Step-by-step guide: provencloud.io/catalog/azure-wordpress-ubuntu-24-04
