[Sophie_Young] finished configuring wordpress up to step 6 in this tutorial - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lemp-on-ubuntu-22-04#step-6-completing-the-installation-through-the-web-interface but http://mydomain/wordpress isn't serving the installation page.... I'll have to double check everything. does wordpress really just stick the configuration interface out there on the web from an http server
#
[Sophie_Young] where your credentials could be sniffed as you enter them into the page? couldn't anyone just scan for wordpress config interfaces on random domains and take over websites? my understanding is that this installation is supposed to be completed on a machine attached to a secure LAN, but I'm installing wordpress on a VPS
#
[snarfed] if you're serving over SSL, that prevents sniffing creds
#
[snarfed] but yeah if you're fully self hosting, and you don't have SSL set up yet, you'd ideally use a VPN or something similar until you're on SSL
#
[snarfed] you should be able to set up SSL manually though, out of band, before starting WP setup
