Nice advice, but it’s not obvious how you issue the create user/create database commands: you’re missing the tiny detail that you have to issue the command ‘sudo mysql’ before you can start issuing SQL statements!
Apart from that, I could not initiate the WordPress install by visiting http://localhost. I think that’s because there’s a 000-default.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available, and it takes precedence over the wordpress.conf your instructions have us create. I did a sudo mv 000-default.conf 000-default.conf.bkp, followed by a systemctl restart apache2 to fix that. Obviously, a2dissite 000-default might have been preferable at that point! Anyway: relatively minor nit-picks. Thanks for the step-by-step instructions.

In reply to Scott Sawyer. Thank you for your contribution. From MariaDB 10.4, Unix socket authentication is applied by default, and there is usually no need to create a root password.

There is a step for the database you may want to run: mysql_secure_installation

Awesome documentation otherwise.

Really excellent guide which met my needs pretty much exactly, which is a rarity in the self hosting server space. Helped that I already have Apache and DNS skills. Was able to get a starting WordPress site up and running in less than 2 hours using my Debian Bookworm server using this guide. Thanks
