I had been running a self-hosted WordPress for years. I nuked it in favor of hosting a phpBB site; clean install. This, along with the LAMP walk-through got me up and running. The only difficult part was getting an FTP, for uploading custom styles, going (did it from a different tutorial) and getting SSL certificates working without end-user exceptions required (through Let’s Encrypt free). There was an error on the LAMP walk through, a MariaDB command changed, but I posted it in the comments section on the LAMP tutorial for a fix.

My phpBB is up and running just fine on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Thank you so much!

sudo apt install php7.3-mbstring php7.3-xml php7.3-gd -y

They’re on 7.4 now
