This chapter guides you through setting up an Ubuntu Lightsail instance pre-configured for Docker, enabling you to deploy and manage containers for WordPress and MySQL Server quickly.
You’ll learn how to:
- Generate and secure a custom SSH key pair to access the instance.
- Use AWS CLI commands and configuration files to launch your Lightsail instance.
- Apply a user-data script to automatically install Docker, Docker Compose, and supporting tools during creation.
- Assign and attach a static IP address for reliable access.
- Connect via SSH and verify your environment.
- Clean up resources when they’re no longer needed.
By the end, you’ll have a fully operational Lightsail VM ready to run Docker ready for Wordpress in a secure and repeatable way.
