- Automatic security update configuration

Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension, called standard, billed as a contract. You pay for a hardened Joomla 6 image on Ubuntu 24.04, which includes first-boot setup automation, a setup gate, helper commands, security update configuration, and email support from Sers One Cloud. There are no tiers or usage add-ons to choose between. The contract can renew automatically, and you can turn off renewal before the renewal date. Charges for the servers, storage, and data transfer you run are billed separately by your cloud provider and are not part of this software price.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The standard unit is the packaged, hardened Joomla 6 image on Ubuntu 24.04. It bundles first-boot automation, helper commands, security update configuration, and email support. The setup gate is a controlled first-boot step that guides initial configuration before the site goes live.
No. The contract price covers only the software packaging and support. Charges for the servers, storage, and data transfer you run are billed separately by your cloud provider. Those infrastructure charges are not refunded by Sers One Cloud.
If a product is retired, Sers One Cloud keeps supporting existing subscribers for at least 90 days. Support is provided by email. Sers One Cloud has no access to your instance, and the image sends no data back to the vendor.

Additional details
Usage instructions
WordPress 7.1.3 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Apache 2.4, PHP 8.3 and MariaDB 10.11.
BEFORE LAUNCH
- Use an EC2 key pair you hold. SSH password login is disabled; there is no default password.
- t3.medium, 20 GiB gp3. Security group: 22/tcp from your IP only, 80/tcp and 443/tcp open. No host firewall.
- Attach an Elastic IP or DNS name first (WordPress stores the address).
FIRST SETUP
- ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
- sudo wordpress-sersonecloud-credentials show Note SETUP_PASSWORD. Do not run "credentials done"; step 5 does it.
- Open http://<public-ip>/ and pass the setup gate: user "setup", password SETUP_PASSWORD.
- In the WordPress installer choose the language, site title and your own administrator account (the database is already connected). Click "Install WordPress".
- sudo wordpress-sersonecloud-setup-complete Removes the gate and the one-time values; refuses until WordPress is installed.
- HTTPS: point a DNS name at the instance, then: sudo certbot --apache -d <your-domain> and in Settings > General set both addresses to https://<your-domain>
SENSITIVE DATA
- Database "wordpress" (MariaDB, /var/lib/mysql, 127.0.0.1 only). Admin: sudo mariadb (socket auth, no password).
- DB password, keys and salts: /var/www/wordpress/wp-config.php (root:www-data 0640).
- Uploads: /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads. Logs: /var/log/apache2.
- Until step 5: /etc/wordpress-sersonecloud/instance-credentials (root only).
- All data stays on the EBS volume of your instance.
ENCRYPTION
- At rest: enable EBS encryption at launch (Configure storage > Advanced) or EBS encryption by default.
- In transit: HTTP until step 6, then TLS (Let's Encrypt, renewed automatically). SSH is encrypted; database traffic never leaves the instance.
ROTATION No secrets ship in the image. Rotate per your policy and after any suspected disclosure.
- Admin password: Dashboard > Users > Profile.
- Keys and salts: sudo wp config shuffle-salts --allow-root --path=/var/www/wordpress
- DB password: in sudo mariadb run ALTER USER 'wp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<new>'; and the same for 'wp_user'@'127.0.0.1'; then set DB_PASSWORD in wp-config.php.
- SSH key: /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys and /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys.
- TLS: test the renewal with sudo certbot renew --dry-run
BACKUP AND RESTORE No proprietary data store. Back up: sudo mariadb-dump --single-transaction wordpress > wordpress.sql sudo tar -czf wp-content.tar.gz -C /var/www/wordpress wp-content Store both off the instance, encrypted (e.g. Amazon S3). Restore: sudo mariadb wordpress < wordpress.sql, sudo tar -xzf wp-content.tar.gz -C /var/www/wordpress, sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/wordpress/wp-content. EBS snapshots also work.
HEALTH CHECK
- EC2 status checks; CloudWatch alarm on StatusCheckFailed.
- sudo systemctl is-active apache2 mariadb (both "active")
- curl -I http://localhost/ (200 or 301; 401 while the gate is active)
- First-boot log: sudo journalctl -t wordpress-sersonecloud-firstboot
UPDATES Ubuntu security updates and WordPress minor releases install automatically; reboot when /var/run/reboot-required exists. Other updates: Dashboard > Updates.
E-MAIL No mail server; EC2 restricts port 25. Use an SMTP plugin with Amazon SES or similar (port 587).
QUOTAS One instance (2 vCPUs of the On-Demand Standard instances quota), one 20 GiB gp3 volume, optional Elastic IP. No increase is needed; on VcpuLimitExceeded request one in Service Quotas.
COST Software charge shown on the product page, billed through AWS Marketplace. AWS bills EC2 hours, the gp3 volume, public IPv4, data transfer out and snapshots.
