WP-docker-devEnv

A ready to use docker enviroment for develop wordpress sites, plugins or templates. inspired by the official docker wordpress docker-compose example

it use mariadb, and wordpress fpm / linux alpine docker images.

Note

This is a dev enviroment and it's not optimise for use in production. Use it at your own risk

Getting Started

• first set the .env file. go to the root of this project:

    cp .env.model .env

  .env contains 4 variables:

  • WORDPRESS_DB_USER (database user for connect database and wordpress)
  • WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD (User password)
  • WORDPRESS_DB_NAME (database name)
  • MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD (maria server root password)

  the user and database will be set in mariadb and wordpress automatically.

• Create the diectory src:

    «mkdir src

• The directories:

  • src: Here should be the wordpress code, if you left empty a new wordpress installation will be automatically installed. usefull for dev templates and/or plugins. or you can fill this directory with your entire worpress site, it will run automatically and your wp-comfig file will be automatically update with the values from .env file.

  • db_dump: here you can put a sql file containing your site, this file will be automatically apply at first run. really practique for charge a database copy from your site.

  • db_data: this will be automatically fill by mariadb with the database data. practique for deep database debug and preserve database data.

RUN

Mariadb image need a moment for start running create the database, user and apply the sql files. So for prevent errors during the first UP I recommend start mariadb service first, waith a 5 minutes (you can see at db_data directory when your database is complete charge) and after run wordpress service.

docker-compose up -d mariadb

wait 5 min and after run:

docker-compose up -d wordpress

Done, you're ready for use this dev enviroment for create amazing wordpress things!!

The next times you can run both containers at the same time, just use

docker-compose up -d
