Apache + MySQL + PHP — all in one box, many sites.

Overview

The classic LAMP box: Ubuntu 24.04 + Apache 2.4 + PHP 8.3 + MySQL 8, phpMyAdmin included. Host several PHP sites in one box, like shared hosting. Sites live under /var/www/html on the persistent disk; the embedded MySQL data is on the persistent disk too (it survives a redeploy and is backed up together with Cloud Backup). For higher traffic, create a Managed Database from the console and write its connection details into the site config (.env / wp-config.php) — with an API token an AI can write them for you.

After installation

1
Put your sites under `/var/www/html` — it is on the persistent disk, and you can host several sites or directories.
2
Manage the embedded MySQL with phpMyAdmin; the data is on the persistent disk and is backed up together with Cloud Backup.
3
From application code, connect with host `localhost`, user `root` and an empty password (the local embedded MySQL).
4
Connect your domain; SSL is automatic. Restrict IP access to the admin panels for security.
