Self Hosting Wordpress issues
Hello, I have recently wanted to start self hosting word press. I already have a server that I host multiple things on but word press has been extra difficult to get working. I plan on reverse proxying it though a caddy server. I am running it in a docker container same for the db. So far to reach the admin screen the only way I have managed to do so is my setting up an SSH tunnel with -L and connecting through localhost on my laptop. Once in I have tried to change the site url to something like "machine-ip" instead of localhost. Once I save I can no longer connect to wordpress at all.
Upon setting up the reverese proxy any way caddy return a connection refused error.
I have no idea why changing the url to the machines IP break things. Any advice is welcome.
