Set up the server (Ubuntu 24.04) for JAM-Stack WordPress + Docker
Subdomain: pitrimka.selector.space → installation of the latest version of WordPress (the subdomain is already configured to work on this server)
1. Initial data
- Server: Ubuntu 24.04, clean installation.
- User with sudo: spacy
- Docker + Docker Compose are already installed.
- A complete infrastructure for Headless WordPress JAM-stack is needed:
- Nginx (reverse proxy)
- WordPress (php-fpm)
- MariaDB or PostgreSQL
- Node.js container (will be used later)
- DNS for the subdomain pitrimka.selector.space will be configured on my side.
2. Tasks
2.1. Docker infrastructure
It is necessary to:
1. Create the project folder /var/www/jamstack/
2. Set up the structure:
/nginx
/wordpress
/db
/node
docker-compose.yml
3. Prepare docker-compose.yml, which includes:
Containers:
- nginx (reverse proxy + SSL termination)
- wordpress (php-fpm, without Apache)
- db (MariaDB or PostgreSQL — to be specified)
- certbot (automatic SSL)
- node (will be used in the future)
4. Create volumes for persistent storage:
wp-content
db-data
logs
2.2. Nginx configuration
• Reverse proxy → WordPress (port 9000 or 8000)
• HTTP → HTTPS redirect
• Enable HSTS
• Optimal security headers
• Rate limit to protect against bots
• Separate access and error logs
2.3. SSL
• Install Let’s Encrypt via Docker-Certbot
• Automatic renewal of certificates
• Check HTTPS functionality
2.4. WordPress (php-fpm)
• Install the latest version of WordPress
• Create a custom Dockerfile for PHP:
• extensions: mysqli, curl, zip, gd, mbstring, xml, imagick
• Strict memory limits (512M)
• Configure user/group under the UID of the spacy user
• Move wp-content to volume
2.5. Database
• Specify the root password in .env
• Configure volume
• Optimize parameters (innodb_buffer_pool, max_connections)
2.6. Domain and subdomain
• Config:
• pitrimka.selector.space → WordPress
• Check:
• the site opens via HTTPS
• wp-admin works
• header forwarding for REST API (CORS → allow future frontend)
3. Expected result
A fully functional JAM-stack environment:
• ✔ Docker infrastructure is up
• ✔ WordPress runs via docker-php-fpm
• ✔ Nginx reverse proxy + HTTPS
• ✔ Automatic SSL certificates
• ✔ REST API accessible from external Next.js/Nuxt frontend
• ✔ Database in a separate container
• ✔ Everything works stably after server reboot
4. Access
After starting work, I will provide:
• SSH access to the server
• Root rights via sudo
6. Submission format - provide
• Complete docker-compose.yml
• Dockerfile for WordPress
• Nginx configs
• Instructions on “how to restart all containers”
• Brief description of the architecture
• SSL installation logs
• Verification: the site opens → https://pitrimka.selector.space

Hello, I am ready to take on your project. More than four years of experience working as a DevOps engineer. I would be happy to discuss the details.
For your project, I would suggest Traefik as a reverse proxy with automatic renewal of free SSL certificates, it will be as a separate container in the project for Docker Compose.

Okay, I understand the task. I can prepare a ready Docker JAM-stack infrastructure for Headless WordPress on Ubuntu 24.04 with Nginx reverse proxy, php-fpm, MariaDB/PostgreSQL, Node.js, and automatic SSL via certbot.
The result will include:
A complete docker-compose.yml with containers: nginx, wordpress (php-fpm), db, node, certbot.
A Dockerfile for WordPress with the necessary PHP extensions and a memory limit of 512M.
Nginx configurations: reverse proxy, HTTPS redirect, HSTS, security headers, rate limiting, separate logs.
…
Volumes for wp-content, db-data, logs.
.env for confidential data (database password).
Verification of REST API and CORS for the future frontend.
Instructions for restarting all containers.
A brief overview of the architecture and SSL log.
After receiving SSH access with sudo, I can build and run everything on the subdomain pitrimka.selector.space so that WordPress works entirely through php-fpm, Nginx serves HTTPS, and the frontend (Next.js/Nuxt) can access the REST API.
If needed, I can immediately prepare a sample docker-compose.yml + Dockerfile for testing on your server.
