Hi,
I see all the wonderful faircamp websites these days, but there is quite a knowledge gap for me when it comes to installing it. The tool seems to be next level for publishing sounds, but I’m stuck with questions like: is it possible to install this on my managed wordpress?
I heard and read that it’s build to support music publishing for more people and I’m sure it does at some point. but is there a easy way to use it or do I just have to learn and upgrade my knowledge to be one of these people?
greets

if you can create a separate folder where your managed wordpress lives those two (faircamp and wordpress) can live side by side and link to each other.
perhaps this is helpful:
Faircamp (to use it as example) is a static site generator. It is an application that takes your audio files (and optionally also image and text files), and from them, automatically, builds a complete, static website. On a technical level, a static website is just a folder on your disk. If you make a backup copy of it, no one can ever take that away from you! You can open your static site directly from your disk (by opening the file index.html in your browser), as you don’t even need a server to look at it. If you want to publish a static website to the world, all you need to do is upload it to a webhost - any webhost - it will work with virtually every one of them!

if you haven’t before modified html or text files on your computer and then upload that to the server that hosts your public always-available website, you’ll need to learn that. the good thing is, it’s fairly easy, and there’s a lot of tutorials online in various forms (videos, howto guides, etc…)
there used to be a managed hosting solution via radifreefedi but I’m not sure if it’s still available
edit: looks like the managed/hosted project from radioFreeFedi continues at https://negativevoid.art/ - there’s an email through which you can reach them with your needs
