Wordpress Installation steps

These steps will install MySQL, Wordpress, Nginx and Certbot for automatic SSL certificate issuance and renewal

1. Close this repo into a directory of your choice, git clone https://github.com/dannysofftie/docker-wordpress.git

2. Open docker-compose.yml in your editor, and change below line to match your email and domain name

   certonly --webroot --webroot-path=/var/www/html --email info@example.com --agree-tos --no-eff-email --force-renewal -d blog.example.com -d blog.example.com

3. Open nginx.conf in nginx-conf directory, and change all instances of blog.example.com to your domain.

4. Run docker-compose up -d, then wait for about 2 minutes for MySQL to boot up,

5. At this point, we need to make some changes to the wordpress docker image to allow uploading and editing theme files.

   • Run docker exec -it wordpress bash to access wordpress image shell,

   • Open wp-config.php in nano or vim,

   • Add define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' ) at the bottom of the file and save it,

   • Change ownership of wordpress installation directory to allow making file modifications

     chmod -R www-data:www-data /var/www

6. Exit the shell with the command exit

7. Shut down your containers and restart to effect above changes

   docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d

8. Now open your-server-ip:3400 or your-domain.com on a browser to access your wordpress website and to set it up.
