Production notes for this catalog app
WordPress is easy to start, but production sites need database backups, plugin hygiene, and update discipline.
Why host WordPress with Better-PaaS
Better-PaaS is designed for apps like WordPress: small services that need reliable routing, a domain, persistent data, and quick redeploys without manually editing reverse proxy files.
Deployment checklist
Before going live, decide the domain, persistent volume, backup cadence, and any environment variables WordPress needs. For WordPress, pay special attention to blogs and content-heavy sites with database persistence.
- Choose the app catalog template or Docker image
- Add required environment variables
- Attach a persistent volume if data must survive redeploys
- Deploy and inspect logs
- Add a custom domain after the app is healthy
Operations after launch
Watch logs during the first deploy, confirm storage survives a redeploy, and include the app data in server backups. If the service exposes an admin area, use a strong password and restrict access where appropriate.
FAQ
Can WordPress run with automatic HTTPS?
Yes. Add a domain in Better-PaaS after DNS points to the server and Caddy can issue a certificate.
Does WordPress need persistent storage?
Most cms apps need some persistent storage or database plan. Treat app data and config as something to back up.
