What are the benefits of using WordPress stack

• The stack is based on docker containers, which makes it effortlessly portable and scalable
• The application starts up rapidly and is much more performant than on the virtual machine
• A single server can hold more than one container as there are no duplicates of OS for each app
• Memcached, SMTP and certbot are preinstalled
• The stack includes a Status Panel that setups SSL in one click
• Portainer can assist you in managing your containers
• The suite comprises the Linux operating system's preset settings, like tuned network settings, preconfigured swap, etc.
• We offer more secure servers updates than just uploading files via FTP / SFTP

Caveats and known issues

When WordPress deployment is complete and users open the IP of the server in their browser they can see that the home page styles are broken because the domain name is used in NGINX configuration files and it’s not yet pointing to the new server. To fix it you will need to just setup the ”A” record in domain settings at your registrar.
