# Bitnami package for WordPress

WordPress is the world's most popular blogging and content management platform. Powerful yet simple, everyone from students to global corporations use it to build beautiful, functional websites.

[Overview of WordPress](http://www.wordpress.org)

## TL;DR

```console
helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/wordpress
```

Looking to use WordPress in production? Try [VMware Tanzu Application Catalog](https://bitnami.com/enterprise), the enterprise edition of Bitnami Application Catalog.

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [WordPress](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/wordpress) deployment on a [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

It also packages the [Bitnami MariaDB chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/mariadb) which is required for bootstrapping a MariaDB deployment for the database requirements of the WordPress application, and the [Bitnami Memcached chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/memcached) that can be used to cache database queries.

Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.dev/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.23+
- Helm 3.8.0+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
- ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/wordpress
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

The command deploys WordPress on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
helm install my-release \
  --set wordpressUsername=admin \
  --set wordpressPassword=password \
  --set mariadb.auth.rootPassword=secretpassword \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/wordpress
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

The above command sets the WordPress administrator account username and password to `admin` and `password` respectively. Additionally, it sets the MariaDB `root` user password to `secretpassword`.

> NOTE: Once this chart is deployed, it is not possible to change the application's access credentials, such as usernames or passwords, using Helm. To change these application credentials after deployment, delete any persistent volumes (PVs) used by the chart and re-deploy it, or use the application's built-in administrative tools if available.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
helm install my-release -f values.yaml oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/wordpress
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.
> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/wordpress/values.yaml)

## Configuration and installation details

### Resource requests and limits

Bitnami charts allow setting resource requests and limits for all containers inside the chart deployment. These are inside the `resources` value (check parameter table). Setting requests is essential for production workloads and these should be adapted to your specific use case.

To make this process easier, the chart contains the `resourcesPreset` values, which automatically sets the `resources` section according to different presets. Check these presets in [the bitnami/common chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/main/bitnami/common/templates/_resources.tpl#L15). However, in production workloads using `resourcePreset` is discouraged as it may not fully adapt to your specific needs. Find more information on container resource management in the [official Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/).

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/understand-rolling-tags-containers)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Known limitations

When performing admin operations that require activating the maintenance mode (such as updating a plugin or theme), it's activated in only one replica (see: [bug report](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/50797)). This implies that WP could be attending requests on other replicas while performing admin operations, with unpredictable consequences.

To avoid that, you can manually activate/deactivate the maintenance mode on every replica using the WP CLI. For instance, if you installed WP with three replicas, you can run the commands below to activate the maintenance mode in all of them (assuming that the release name is `wordpress`):

```console
kubectl exec $(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- wp maintenance-mode activate
kubectl exec $(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[1].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- wp maintenance-mode activate
kubectl exec $(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=wordpress -o jsonpath='{.items[2].metadata.name}') -c wordpress -- wp maintenance-mode activate
```

### External database support

You may want to have WordPress connect to an external database rather than installing one inside your cluster. Typical reasons for this are to use a managed database service, or to share a common database server for all your applications. To achieve this, the chart allows you to specify credentials for an external database with the [`externalDatabase` parameter](#database-parameters). You should also disable the MariaDB installation with the `mariadb.enabled` option. Here is an example:

```console
mariadb.enabled=false
externalDatabase.host=myexternalhost
externalDatabase.user=myuser
externalDatabase.password=mypassword
externalDatabase.database=mydatabase
externalDatabase.port=3306
```

If the database already contains data from a previous WordPress installation, set the `wordpressSkipInstall` parameter to `true`. This parameter forces the container to skip the WordPress installation wizard. Otherwise, the container will assume it is a fresh installation and execute the installation wizard, potentially modifying or resetting the data in the existing database.

[Refer to the container documentation for more information](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/wordpress#connect-wordpress-container-to-an-existing-database).

### Memcached

This chart provides support for using Memcached to cache database queries and objects improving the website performance. To enable this feature, set `wordpressConfigureCache` and `memcached.enabled` parameters to `true`.

When this feature is enabled, a Memcached server will be deployed in your K8s cluster using the Bitnami Memcached chart and the [W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) plugin will be activated and configured to use the Memcached server for database caching.

It is also possible to use an external cache server rather than installing one inside your cluster. To achieve this, the chart allows you to specify credentials for an external cache server with the [`externalCache` parameter](#database-parameters). You should also disable the Memcached installation with the `memcached.enabled` option. Here is an example:

```console
wordpressConfigureCache=true
memcached.enabled=false
externalCache.host=myexternalcachehost
externalCache.port=11211
```

### Ingress

This chart provides support for Ingress resources. If you have an ingress controller installed on your cluster, such as [nginx-ingress-controller](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/nginx-ingress-controller) or [contour](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/contour) you can utilize the ingress controller to serve your application.To enable Ingress integration, set `ingress.enabled` to `true`.

The most common scenario is to have one host name mapped to the deployment. In this case, the `ingress.hostname` property can be used to set the host name. The `ingress.tls` parameter can be used to add the TLS configuration for this host.

However, it is also possible to have more than one host. To facilitate this, the `ingress.extraHosts` parameter (if available) can be set with the host names specified as an array. The `ingress.extraTLS` parameter (if available) can also be used to add the TLS configuration for extra hosts.

> NOTE: For each host specified in the `ingress.extraHosts` parameter, it is necessary to set a name, path, and any annotations that the Ingress controller should know about. Not all annotations are supported by all Ingress controllers, but [this annotation reference document](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/user-guide/nginx-configuration/annotations.md) lists the annotations supported by many popular Ingress controllers.

Adding the TLS parameter (where available) will cause the chart to generate HTTPS URLs, and the  application will be available on port 443. The actual TLS secrets do not have to be generated by this chart. However, if TLS is enabled, the Ingress record will not work until the TLS secret exists.

[Learn more about Ingress controllers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress-controllers/).

### TLS secrets

This chart facilitates the creation of TLS secrets for use with the Ingress controller (although this is not mandatory). There are several common use cases:

- Generate certificate secrets based on chart parameters.
- Enable externally generated certificates.
- Manage application certificates via an external service (like [cert-manager](https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/)).
- Create self-signed certificates within the chart (if supported).

In the first two cases, a certificate and a key are needed. Files are expected in `.pem` format.

Here is an example of a certificate file:

> NOTE: There may be more than one certificate if there is a certificate chain.

```text
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIID6TCCAtGgAwIBAgIJAIaCwivkeB5EMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAMFYxCzAJBgNV
...
jScrvkiBO65F46KioCL9h5tDvomdU1aqpI/CBzhvZn1c0ZTf87tGQR8NK7v7
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
```

Here is an example of a certificate key:

```text
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEogIBAAKCAQEAvLYcyu8f3skuRyUgeeNpeDvYBCDcgq+LsWap6zbX5f8oLqp4
...
wrj2wDbCDCFmfqnSJ+dKI3vFLlEz44sAV8jX/kd4Y6ZTQhlLbYc=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
```

- If using Helm to manage the certificates based on the parameters, copy these values into the `certificate` and `key` values for a given `*.ingress.secrets` entry.
- If managing TLS secrets separately, it is necessary to create a TLS secret with name `INGRESS_HOSTNAME-tls` (where INGRESS_HOSTNAME is a placeholder to be replaced with the hostname you set using the `*.ingress.hostname` parameter).
- If your cluster has a [cert-manager](https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager) add-on to automate the management and issuance of TLS certificates, add to `*.ingress.annotations` the [corresponding ones](https://cert-manager.io/docs/usage/ingress/#supported-annotations) for cert-manager.
- If using self-signed certificates created by Helm, set both `*.ingress.tls` and `*.ingress.selfSigned` to `true`.

### `.htaccess` files

For performance and security reasons, it is a good practice to configure Apache with the `AllowOverride None` directive. Instead of using `.htaccess` files, Apache will load the same directives at boot time. These directives are located in `/opt/bitnami/wordpress/wordpress-htaccess.conf`.

By default, the container image includes all the default `.htaccess` files in WordPress (together with the default plugins). To enable this feature, install the chart with the value `allowOverrideNone=yes`.

However, some plugins may include `.htaccess` directives that will not be loaded when `AllowOverride` is set to `None`. To make them work, create a custom `wordpress-htaccess.conf` file with all the required directives. After creating it, create a Kubernetes ConfigMap with it (for example, named `custom-htaccess`) and install the chart with the correct parameters as shown below:

```text
    allowOverrideNone=true
    customHTAccessCM=custom-htaccess
```

Some plugins permit editing the `.htaccess` file and it may be necessary to persist it in order to keep those edits. To make these plugins work, set the `htaccessPersistenceEnabled` parameter as shown below:

```text
    allowOverrideNone=false
    htaccessPersistenceEnabled=true
```

## Persistence

The [Bitnami WordPress](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/wordpress) image stores the WordPress data and configurations at the `/bitnami` path of the container. Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments.

If you encounter errors when working with persistent volumes, refer to our [troubleshooting guide for persistent volumes](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/faq/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-persistence-volumes/).

### Additional environment variables

In case you want to add extra environment variables (useful for advanced operations like custom init scripts), you can use the `extraEnvVars` property.

```yaml
wordpress:
  extraEnvVars:
    - name: LOG_LEVEL
      value: error
```

Alternatively, you can use a ConfigMap or a Secret with the environment variables. To do so, use the `extraEnvVarsCM` or the `extraEnvVarsSecret` values.

### Sidecars

If additional containers are needed in the same pod as WordPress (such as additional metrics or logging exporters), they can be defined using the `sidecars` parameter.

```yaml
sidecars:
- name: your-image-name
  image: your-image
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  ports:
  - name: portname
    containerPort: 1234
```

If these sidecars export extra ports, extra port definitions can be added using the `service.extraPorts` parameter (where available), as shown in the example below:

```yaml
service:
  extraPorts:
  - name: extraPort
    port: 11311
    targetPort: 11311
```

> NOTE: This Helm chart already includes sidecar containers for the Prometheus exporters (where applicable). These can be activated by adding the `--enable-metrics=true` parameter at deployment time. The `sidecars` parameter should therefore only be used for any extra sidecar containers.

If additional init containers are needed in the same pod, they can be defined using the `initContainers` parameter. Here is an example:

```yaml
initContainers:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
        containerPort: 1234
```

Learn more about [sidecar containers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/) and [init containers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/init-containers/).

### Pod affinity

This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the `affinity` parameter. Learn more about Pod affinity in the [kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).

As an alternative, use one of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the [bitnami/common](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/common#affinities) chart. To do so, set the `podAffinityPreset`, `podAntiAffinityPreset`, or `nodeAffinityPreset` parameters.

## Notable changes

### 13.2.0

Removed support for limiting auto-updates to WordPress core via the `wordpressAutoUpdateLevel` option. To update WordPress core, we recommend you use the `helm upgrade` command to update your deployment instead of using the built-in update functionality.

### 11.0.0

The [Bitnami WordPress](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/wordpress) image was refactored and now the source code is published in GitHub in the `rootfs` folder of the container image.

In addition, several new features have been implemented:

- Multisite mode is now supported via `multisite.*` options.
- Plugins can be installed and activated on the first deployment via the `wordpressPlugins` option.
- Added support for limiting auto-updates to WordPress core via the `wordpressAutoUpdateLevel` option. In addition, auto-updates have been disabled by default. To update WordPress core, we recommend to swap the container image version for your deployment instead of using the built-in update functionality.

To enable the new features, it is not possible to do it by upgrading an existing deployment. Instead, it is necessary to perform a fresh deploy.

## Upgrading

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 11.0. Follow the [upstream instructions](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-10-11-to-mariadb-11-0/) for upgrading from MariaDB 10.11 to 11.0. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

### To 16.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 10.11. Follow the [upstream instructions](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-10-6-to-mariadb-10-11/) for upgrading from MariaDB 10.6 to 10.11. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

### To 14.0.0

This major release bumps the MariaDB version to 10.6. Follow the [upstream instructions](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-105-to-mariadb-106/) for upgrading from MariaDB 10.5 to 10.6. No major issues are expected during the upgrade.

### To 13.0.0

This major release renames several values in this chart and adds missing features, in order to be inline with the rest of assets in the Bitnami charts repository.

- `service.port` and `service.httpsPort` have been regrouped under the `service.ports` map.
- `metrics.service.port` has been regrouped under the `metrics.service.ports` map.
- `serviceAccountName` has been deprecated in favor of `serviceAccount` map.

Additionally updates the MariaDB & Memcached subcharts to their newest major `10.x.x` and `6.x.x`, respectively, which contain similar changes.

### To 12.0.0

WordPress version was bumped to its latest major, `5.8.x`. Though no incompatibilities are expected while upgrading from previous versions, WordPress recommends backing up your application first.

Site backups can be easily performed using tools such as [VaultPress](https://vaultpress.com/) or [All-in-One WP Migration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/).

### To 11.0.0

The [Bitnami WordPress](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/wordpress) image was refactored and now the source code is published in GitHub in the `rootfs` folder of the container image.

Compatibility is not guaranteed due to the amount of involved changes, however no breaking changes are expected.

### To 10.0.0

[On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support was formally finished](https://github.com/helm/charts#status-of-the-project), this major version is the result of the required changes applied to the Helm Chart to be able to incorporate the different features added in Helm v3 and to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.

#### Additional upgrade notes

- MariaDB dependency version was bumped to a new major version that introduces several incompatibilities. Therefore, backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless an external database is used. Check [MariaDB Upgrading Notes](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/mariadb#to-800) for more information.
- If you want to upgrade to this version from a previous one installed with Helm v3, there are two alternatives:
  - Install a new WordPress chart, and migrate your WordPress site using backup/restore tools such as [VaultPress](https://vaultpress.com/) or [All-in-One WP Migration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/).
  - Reuse the PVC used to hold the MariaDB data on your previous release. To do so, follow the instructions below (the following example assumes that the release name is `wordpress`).

> Warning: please create a backup of your database before running any of these actions. The steps below would be only valid if your application (e.g. any plugins or custom code) is compatible with MariaDB 10.5.

Obtain the credentials and the name of the PVC used to hold the MariaDB data on your current release:

```console
export WORDPRESS_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default wordpress -o jsonpath="{.data.wordpress-password}" | base64 -d)
export MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default wordpress-mariadb -o jsonpath="{.data.mariadb-root-password}" | base64 -d)
export MARIADB_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default wordpress-mariadb -o jsonpath="{.data.mariadb-password}" | base64 -d)
export MARIADB_PVC=$(kubectl get pvc -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=wordpress,app.kubernetes.io/name=mariadb,app.kubernetes.io/component=primary -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
```

Upgrade your release (maintaining the version) disabling MariaDB and scaling WordPress replicas to 0:

```console
helm upgrade wordpress oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/wordpress --set wordpressPassword=$WORDPRESS_PASSWORD --set replicaCount=0 --set mariadb.enabled=false --version 9.6.4
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

Finally, upgrade you release to `10.0.0` reusing the existing PVC, and enabling back MariaDB:

```console
helm upgrade wordpress oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/wordpress --set mariadb.primary.persistence.existingClaim=$MARIADB_PVC --set mariadb.auth.rootPassword=$MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD --set mariadb.auth.password=$MARIADB_PASSWORD --set wordpressPassword=$WORDPRESS_PASSWORD
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

You should see the lines below in MariaDB container logs:

```console
$ kubectl logs $(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=wordpress,app.kubernetes.io/name=mariadb,app.kubernetes.io/component=primary -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
...
mariadb 12:13:24.98 INFO  ==> Using persisted data
mariadb 12:13:25.01 INFO  ==> Running mysql_upgrade
...
```

### To 9.0.0

The [Bitnami WordPress](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/wordpress) image was migrated to a "non-root" user approach. Previously the container ran as the `root` user and the Apache daemon was started as the `daemon` user. From now on, both the container and the Apache daemon run as user `1001`. You can revert this behavior by setting the parameters `securityContext.runAsUser`, and `securityContext.fsGroup` to `0`.
Chart labels and Ingress configuration were also adapted to follow the Helm charts best practices.

Consequences:

- The HTTP/HTTPS ports exposed by the container are now `8080/8443` instead of `80/443`.
- No writing permissions will be granted on `wp-config.php` by default.
- Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed.

To upgrade to `9.0.0`, it's recommended to install a new WordPress chart, and migrate your WordPress site using backup/restore tools such as [VaultPress](https://vaultpress.com/) or [All-in-One WP Migration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/).

### To 8.0.0

Helm performs a lookup for the object based on its group (apps), version (v1), and kind (Deployment). Also known as its GroupVersionKind, or GVK. Changing the GVK is considered a compatibility breaker from Kubernetes' point of view, so you cannot "upgrade" those objects to the new GVK in-place. Earlier versions of Helm 3 did not perform the lookup correctly which has since been fixed to match the spec.

In <https://github.com/helm/charts/pulls/12642> the `apiVersion` of the deployment resources was updated to `apps/v1` in tune with the API's deprecated, resulting in compatibility breakage.

This major version signifies this change.

### To 3.0.0

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed unless you modify the labels used on the chart's deployments.
Use the workaround below to upgrade from versions previous to `3.0.0`. The following example assumes that the release name is `wordpress`:

```console
kubectl patch deployment wordpress-wordpress --type=json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/selector/matchLabels/chart"}]'
kubectl delete statefulset wordpress-mariadb --cascade=false
```
