WordPress on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

WordPress is the world's most used content-management system — this image ships it on Apache, PHP 8.3 and MariaDB with an admin account generated for your VM. This image gives you a production-ready deployment within minutes of first boot — no dependency wrangling, no manual hardening checklist. Published and maintained by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc: freshly rebuilt against current security advisories and deployable straight from the Azure Marketplace into your own subscription.

Version: WordPress 6.8.3 (Apache 2.4, PHP 8.3, MariaDB; wp-cli installed)Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LTSPorts: 80 (HTTP), 443Category: Applications

What's included

WordPress installed from the official upstream source
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with automatic security updates enabled
No shared or default passwords — a unique admin credential is generated on your VM at first boot
Trusted Launch support: Secure Boot + vTPM
Azure Monitor Agent, Defender for Cloud, and Update Manager install cleanly

Quick start

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 80 and 443 (web) — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
Open http://<VM-IP>/wp-admin/ and sign in as admin (see First login below).
Point your domain at the VM, update the site URL, and run `sudo certbot --apache -d your.domain` for HTTPS.

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /root/wordpress-admin-credentials.txt

Every image ships without any shared or default password — a unique admin credential is generated for your VM on first boot. Change it after first sign-in.

Common use cases

Company websites and blogs
Landing pages and campaign sites
Content hubs with plugins and themes
Self-hosted alternative to managed WordPress

Why our images
