I need a professional to set up a secure WordPress installation on my Fasthosts VPS (Ubuntu 24.04). The installation should be private and used later with Tailscale VPN for access control. Requirements: Install latest stable WordPress in /var/www/private/wordpress Configure with Apache vhost (IP-based now, later we’ll add domain) Create dedicated MySQL/MariaDB database & user Apply standard WordPress + server hardening: Correct file permissions Disable file editing in wp-config Non-default DB prefix Generate secure salts/keys Add SSL (Let’s Encrypt if possible, even with IP) Add basic access restriction (IP or htpasswd) until Tailscale is configured Document all steps: installed packages, config files, credentials Notes: This should take 30–60 minutes max for an expert. Deliverables: working WordPress installer at https://server-ip , secure config, documentation.
