Use WordPress with Docker using Docker Compose

Docker Compose and WordPress

Use WordPress with Docker using Docker compose

• Dockerfile for extending a base image and install wp-cli
  • Using a custom Docker image with automated build on Docker Hub
• Local domain ex myapp.local
• Custom nginx config in ./nginx
• Custom php.ini config in ./config
• Volumes for nginx, wordpress and mariadb
• WordPress using Bedrock - modern development tools, easier configuration, and an improved folder structure
• CLI scripts for creating a self signed SSL certificate for using https
• CLI script for trusting certs in macOS System Keychain
• CLI script for setting up an entry in your host file

Setup

Requirements

Install Docker

Create SSL cert

cd cli && ./create-cert.sh

Edit the script to your your custom domain, this example uses myapp.local

Trust cert in macOS Keychain. (Chrome and Safari will trust the certs, for Firefox: add them in preferences)

cd cli && ./trust-cert.sh

Edit the script to your your custom domain, this example uses myapp.local

Setup vhost in /etc/hosts

cd cli && ./setup-hosts-file.sh

Follow the instructions. For example use myapp.local

Setup ENV

cd src
cp .env.example .env

Use the following database settings:

DB_HOST=mysql:3306
DB_NAME=myapp
DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=password

cd src
composer install

You can also use composer like this: docker-compose run composer update
