  1. Don't bother with the Synology package its far too limiting, do the steps below and you can run as many Wordpress sites as you like on your NAS:

     

    - Install MariaDB package, set the root password.

    - Install phpmyadmin and create your Wordpress database.

    - Then create a shared folder, set the permissions to include local group http.

    - Then download the Wordpress install zip from Wordpress.org.

    - Unzip it directly into the shared folder you created.

    - Copy all the contents of the Wordpress folder into the root of the shared folder.

    - Open Web Station

    - Create a new virtual server and point it to your new shared folder

    - Connect to whatever you called your virtualserver

    - The Wordpress setup page will appear

    - The only thing that you need to know that's special from here is on Synology your host address for MariaDB is this format to use in the Wordpress install: 127.0.0.1:/run/mysqld/mysqld10.sock

     

    Thats it, as long as you create virtual server names that are unique you can create as many Wordpress sites as you like.

     

    Note; in order to automatically upgrade Wordpress or install plugins via the GUI you will need to chmod +x the shared folder you created.

  3. Easy fix for Windows VM's, change the video adapter to cirrus (within VMM - VM options) and install the latest fedora QEMU tools rather than synology's which are much older (even their latest tools iso). VM will run normally after doing this.

     

    Link to Federa windows QEMU driver iso: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.164-1/virtio-win-0.1.164.iso

     

    Enjoy :)
