Deploy and Host wordpress-bitnami on Railway

WordPress is the world's most popular content management system, powering over 40% of all websites. This Bitnami-packaged WordPress template provides a production-ready, pre-configured installation with Apache, PHP, and all necessary dependencies bundled together for seamless deployment on Railway.

About Hosting wordpress-bitnami

Hosting WordPress traditionally requires configuring web servers, PHP environments, database connections, and file permissions—a process that can take hours and introduce security vulnerabilities if done incorrectly. The Bitnami WordPress image simplifies this by packaging everything into a single, optimized container. This Railway template takes it further by solving the common permission issues that occur when Bitnami's non-root container meets Railway's volume mounting system. With a minimal Dockerfile override, your WordPress instance gets persistent storage that survives redeployments while maintaining security best practices.

Common Use Cases

Personal blogs, portfolio sites, and content publishing platforms
Business websites with e-commerce capabilities via WooCommerce
Membership sites and online learning platforms
Headless CMS backend for decoupled frontend applications
Rapid prototyping and client project staging environments

Dependencies for wordpress-bitnami Hosting

Railway account with volume support enabled
MySQL or MariaDB database (can be deployed alongside on Railway)
Custom domain (optional, for production use)

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

The template uses a custom Dockerfile to handle Railway's volume permissions with Bitnami's non-root container:

FROM bitnami/wordpress:latest
USER root

Configure your instance using these environment variables:

WORDPRESS_USERNAME=admin
WORDPRESS_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
[email protected]
WORDPRESS_BLOG_NAME=My WordPress Site
WORDPRESS_FIRST_NAME=Admin
WORDPRESS_LAST_NAME=User

Mount a volume at /bitnami/wordpress for persistent storage of themes, plugins, and uploads.
