WordPress + Bedrock + Docker

A nice local dev env using WordPress, Roots/Bedrock and Docker.
Making it easy to version control and maintain your next wp theme or plugin.

You need Docker Desktop and Composer installed to use this setup.

Start by cloning this repo: git clone git@github.com:borgenfalkskott/WordPress.git your-folder, and move into the folder: cd your-folder.
Then simply delete the /.git folder by typing rm -R .git. After this you can setup your own versioning with git init and push it to your own repo.
Rename the container names in docker-compose.yml, if you want to.
Go to the /bedrock folder and make a copy of .env.example, name it .env and enter your credentials. You can keep most of what's in there already for your dev environment. Important! Do not version control your .env file, only the .env.example file.
Generate your salts at https://roots.io/salts.html and paste them in env format, into your .env file. Also, if you are using the ACF Pro plugin, enter your license key in ACF_PRO_KEY=''.
Run composer update in the /bedrock folder.
Note: If you are NOT using ACF Pro, simply remove this dependency from composer.json, both under repositories and under require.
Open a new tab in your terminal at the root of the project and start the local dev env: docker compose up
Install WordPress by going to http://localhost:8080
Open a new tab in your terminal and shut down: docker compose down

❤️ Big thanks to @Jitesoft for their contribution with the Docker part of this setup.
