Found this on Digital Ocean for WordPress/LAMP/CentOS.

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-centos-7

DO documentation misses a lot on a CentOS 7 Minimal install. Their droplets are not the same. I use their stuff as a starting point often, but only a start.

I'm watching this thread closely as well... An intranet site would be a good training exercise is both installing Centos and creating a simple web page.

For a lot of intranets, I recommend DokuWiki. Much easier install than LAMP, it's only LAP as there is no database, and it is very portable. WordPress is easily to make pretty, but DokuWiki is easier for a lot of documentation. Different times each would be ideal, but well work checking out.

Install a CentOS 7 VM, then install this and you are good to go:

My blog uses Wordpress and I chose a pretty simple and readable layout. But the possibilities are pretty much endless (and simple).

Yes, once you have Wordpress going, go to add a new template and search for "wiki". The few that show up are pretty decent.

I'm using this one on my blog: https://wordpress.org/themes/nirvana/

It doesn't look nice like that, but I have a lot disabled because I don't have all of my content created, and pages set up yet. I'm just too busy to get it done in good time.

I was actually considering something like this for external as well for a project portfolio. Something similar to SW, but wouldn't be worried about it disappearing sometime soon.

I disagree that there is anything 'hard' about a LAMP stack install on CentOS.

I guess I'll be the judge of that

LAMP Stack.

yum -y install httpd;
yum -y install mariadb mariadb-server;
yum -y install php php-mysql php-xml php-gd wget nano;
systemctl enable httpd.service;
systemctl enable mariadb.service;
systemctl start mariadb;
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp;
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=http/tcp --permanent;
systemctl reload firewalld;
systemctl start httpd;

@JaredBusch No https port? I'm guessing that's what the first firewall-cmd is supposed to be? IE

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=https/tcp --permanent;

Actually no that should not even be there. Setting up HTTP S is a separate process

I would recommend using Drupal for an intranet. It's really powerful. I grabbed the one I made for a company and removed the company specific info. You can run through it and create items to test it out. That's a half custom theme I made. I took another theme and made a sub-theme from it. The theme could be changed at any time.

I also recommend developing the site on pantheon and then moving it to your server. It's much easier to develop there.
