Apache Status Configuration

The Apache server status endpoint provides real-time information about server activity and performance. This is useful for monitoring and debugging.

Enable Server Status

Set APACHE_STATUS to true to enable the /server-status endpoint:

wordpress:
  image: ghcr.io/supanadit/containers/wordpress-apache:6.9-r3
  environment:
    APACHE_STATUS: "true"

Access the status page at http://localhost/server-status (or https://yourdomain.com/server-status if using public access).

Public Access

By default, server status is restricted to local access only (Require local). To make it publicly accessible:

wordpress:
  image: ghcr.io/supanadit/containers/wordpress-apache:6.9-r3
  environment:
    APACHE_STATUS: "true"
    APACHE_STATUS_PUBLIC: "true"

warning

The server status page exposes server configuration and activity information. Only enable public access in trusted environments or behind proper authentication at the proxy level.
