Hello everyone. We have a system and some services running in docker. I’m the sysadmin (newbie) and we want to have a website in wordpress, however, I’m not the web designer. The web designer said he needed access to either the cpanel or a ftp server (we don’t have a cpanel). I want to have a wordpress docker container, but i’m not sure if having access to a directory with a ftp server is the way to go to let him modify stuff. Any suggestions?

As a developer myself it’s normal to get SFTP access, or SSH, or even root access sometimes depending on the work. That being said, you haven’t mentioned what you’re concerned about and what is the role of the web designer. If you are worried about security, you can create a copy of the website (dev site/staging site) and provide them with access there, they’ll need wp-admin access and ftp access. If you don’t want them to have access to the site file, you could you could give them ftp access to the themes folder if that’s the only place where they need to make modifications.
Get some proper hosting on a VPS and setup SFTP/SSH access. Eg Linode, Vultr, Digital Ocean.
Thanks, but I mean let him change and edit the theme of wordpress, anything visual. If wordpress is in a container I could give him access trough ftp to the necessary directories inside the container, but I don’t know if that is a good practice, considering how containers can just be re-created.
