This docker compose template intends to be helpful when developing or working with WordPress locally. It comes with WordPress, MariaDB, PHPMyAdmin, and WP-CLI.
To get started, copy this repository into the directory you'd like to begin working in. Then, copy .env.sample to .env and edit accordingly.Start the environments with docker compose up. If you'd like to edit and restart the containers from scratch, use docker compose up --force-recreate --build. To adjust PHP settings like upload size, simply make the desired changes to uploads.ini.
The WordPress site will be available at http://localhost:8000 and PHPMyAdmin will be available at http://localhost:8080.
To make DB changes, execute them in the WP-CLI container like so:
docker exec NAME_HERE-wpcli wp search-replace "ORIGINAL_SITE_URL_HERE" "http://localhost:8000" --precise --recurse-objects --all-tables --dry-run to see how many replacements need to be made. To run it, remove the --dry-run option. NAME_HERE should be replaced with the name given in the .env.
There is a known permissions issue. When making changes to the filesystem via the WP Admin interface, the folder in which WordPress is installed will need to have www-data set as the owner and group. This can be achieved with chown -R www-data:www-data .. Likewise, when editing locally, your local user will need to have ownership.
