WordPress Docker Dev Environment

Used for plugin or theme development for WordPress

Instructions

Clone this repo (above) to your local machine
Install Docker
Download the latest version of WordPress
Unzip WordPress and copy the contents into 'wordpress' in your cloned repo
Open the cloned repo folder in any command-line tool
Run docker-compose up -d --build
Open localhost in your browser
Run initial wordpress installation using 'wordpress' for names and 'secret' for passwords (these values can be changed in docker-compose.yml)
To stop running on localhost, run docker-compose down
Run docker-compose -d --build any time to start it again-- your changes within wp should persist
Tip: add define('FS_METHOD','direct'); to wordpress/wp-config.php to avoid issues with FTP when installing test plugins
