Does SlickStack support WP Multisite or not (conflicting information)

[inspiredearth]

Hi there ...

Greetings from New Zealand.

First up ... I tried to connect (to ask this question) via https://app.element.io/#/room/#general:matrix.slickstack.io, but it gives me an error. Shown here:

I'd like to know if there is in fact no Wordpress Multisite support in Slickstack? I see it's mentioned on its Github homepage that it's not supported, but then I also came across this page, where it mentions multisite installations of Slickstack. Specifically, "Yes subdomains and sub-subdomains are supported with SlickStack for both single sites and multisite networks in WordPress."

I'm part way into my first install of SS (very excited), when I realised the wizard was asking questions that suggested I can only do a single site WP installation. Which is did some search to find out if MS is supported or not.

So, does Slickstack support Wordpress multisite installations?

Cheers ... Jonathan

Thanks for your interest and feedback @inspiredearth

The short answer is that we are planning on supporting WordPress Multisite but it's not ready yet :)

An update on this:

SlickStack now officially supports WP Multisite, with a few caveats:

• it's still considered experimental, if only because there are lingering security concerns (for example, tech-savvy users could figure out certain sensitive config details from the server, and general file permission things need hardening)
• only OpenSSL is supported and not Let's Encrypt for WP Multisite installs
• Cloudflare is therefore required due to OpenSSL
• only subdomains are currently supported (not subdirectories)

In the hardcoding spirit of SlickStack we have the following configuration files now:

The setup wizard has also supported Multisite for several months already. Any further concerns with WP Multisite you can leave general comments below, or open a new Issue for bugs or new feature requests, thanks!
