WordPress
A site you can shape into anything
The general-purpose CMS, with an enormous library of themes and plugins for whatever the site needs to be — a shop, a portfolio, a club's noticeboard. More to configure than Ghost, and correspondingly more that it can become.

wordpressInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install wordpressWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | :8081 | The installer on the first visit creates the admin account. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- The installer on the first visit creates the admin account — reach it before anything else on the network does
- A WordPress facing the internet needs updating like nothing else here. If you publish it through a tunnel, keep automatic updates on
- Plugins are the usual way a WordPress gets compromised. Install few, from the official directory, and remove what you stop using rather than deactivating it
