#docker-wordpress
This image installs Wordpress an open source blogging and content management system.
The stack comprises the following components (some are obtained through dell/lamp-base):
| Name | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wordpress | 4 | Content Management System |
| Ubuntu | see docker-lamp-base | Operating system |
| MySQL | see docker-lamp-base | Database |
| Apache | see docker-lamp-base | Web server |
| PHP | see docker-lamp-base | Scripting language |
Start the container, as follows:
sudo docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 3306:3306 --name wordpress dell/wordpress
Next, check the container logs, in order to get the MySQL password:
sudo docker logs wordpress
You will see some output like the following:
====================================================================
You can now connect to this MySQL Server using:
mysql admin -u admin -pca1w7dUhnIgI --host <host> -h<host> -P<port>
Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
MySQL user 'root' has no password but only allows local connections
=====================================================================
In this case, ca1w7dUhnIgI is the password allocated to the admin user. Make a secure note of this value. You can use it later, to connect to MySQL (e.g. to backup data):
mysql -u admin -pca1w7dUhnIgI -h127.0.0.1 -P3306
