WordPress with Docker Compose
This is a setup to run WordPress using Docker. It is primarily intended for development use but can probably easily be adopted for simple production use.
Software Stack
Linux + Nginx + PHP-FPM + MariaDB
setup
Download a version of WordPress and unzip its contents to data-wp/ and then copy the config/wp-config.php file to data-wp/.
Configuration
Before starting the containers, some configuration must be done. Don't worry, it's super easy. All the necessary needed configurations to get it up and running can be done via the .env file.
Example configuration to get you started:
WEB_PORT=80
DB_HOST=database
DB_USER=user
DB_PASSWORD=password
DB_NAME=wordpress
DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=toor
DB_TABLE_PREFIX=wp_
DB_CHARSET=utf8
DB_COLLATE=
WP_DEBUG=false
WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE=false

Please do not use this for your production site. This should just be an example to get you up and running.
You can have WordPress generate a set of keys and salts for you via the WordPress API.
Running
Make sure to have Docker (docker-engine) and Docker Compose (docker-compose) installed.
Simply run:
$ docker-compose up -d
Go to your installation of WordPress.
