Will this be an internal site only or will it need to be externally visible as well?

Internal only.

For WordPress, just a stock LAMP install is all that you need.

I have a convenient install guide on here too.

What no link?
FFS man

Siri does not like doing links.

Also, I apparently lied. it was on my jaredbusch.com site, which is currently borked do to some http script when I set a require on https.

I can rewrite it later on here.

I plan to do my own walk through here in this thread as well.

I'm watching this thread closely as well... An intranet site would be a good training exercise is both installing Centos and creating a simple web page.

Ive done this a few times recently. One for an internal wordpress site for policies/hat docs, one for a wiki site(related to the wp/hat site), one for a developer to make a web application for equipment installers. I just used debian LAMP for all of them.

DO documentation misses a lot on a CentOS 7 Minimal install. Their droplets are not the same. I use their stuff as a starting point often, but only a start.

For a lot of intranets, I recommend DokuWiki. Much easier install than LAMP, it's only LAP as there is no database, and it is very portable. WordPress is easily to make pretty, but DokuWiki is easier for a lot of documentation. Different times each would be ideal, but well work checking out.

Install a CentOS 7 VM, then install this and you are good to go:

My blog uses Wordpress and I chose a pretty simple and readable layout. But the possibilities are pretty much endless (and simple).

Yes, once you have Wordpress going, go to add a new template and search for "wiki". The few that show up are pretty decent.

I'm using this one on my blog: https://wordpress.org/themes/nirvana/

It doesn't look nice like that, but I have a lot disabled because I don't have all of my content created, and pages set up yet. I'm just too busy to get it done in good time.

I was actually considering something like this for external as well for a project portfolio. Something similar to SW, but wouldn't be worried about it disappearing sometime soon.

I disagree that there is anything 'hard' about a LAMP stack install on CentOS.

I guess I'll be the judge of that

LAMP Stack.

yum -y install httpd;
yum -y install mariadb mariadb-server;
yum -y install php php-mysql php-xml php-gd wget nano;
systemctl enable httpd.service;
systemctl enable mariadb.service;
systemctl start mariadb;
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp;
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp --permanent;
systemctl reload firewalld;
systemctl start httpd;

@JaredBusch No https port? I'm guessing that's what the first firewall-cmd is supposed to be? IE

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=https/tcp --permanent;

Actually no that should not even be there. Setting up HTTP S is a separate process
