WordPress stack on the IC

I currently manage a number of websites that runs on WordPress, hosted on a Linux server that I have built using a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). While I’m in IT, my development experience is limited. I’m curious if it’s possible to set up a similar LAMP stack on the IC, allowing me to spin up a WordPress instance for each website. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. I’m considering moving all my WordPress sites to the IC for its security and decentralization benefits, as long as the running costs are comparable to what I’m paying now.

Best option I believe is using wordpress as headless CMS and synching data to canisters

WordPress → (Webhook) → Sync API → ICP Canister

If you could share exactly how your stack looks like like plugins and other dependencies could help people figure out most useful things to integrate with ICP.

The IC would lose its purpose if you would still need an Apache server to be deployed, right? Also there would still be the server-side-rendering to manage…

Local headless, just user interface. SSR from the data stored on IC, whats served on IC wouldnt ne wordpress.

2025, people still using Wordpress. Node stack would be simpler. Could make sense to rewrite entire site. Could be better to write translation layers to fill in the gaps.

Sure would basically be reimplementing the plugins using IC supported language, but its a pragmatic approach to implementing what is needed.

No progress in 3 years wow
