D.T deployment via Docker and Compose

Run

  1. Create a .env file and copy/paste the following, and then update the values:
DOMAIN=mydomain
EMAIL=noreply@mydomain
MYSQL_USER=wordpress
MYSQL_PASSWORD=wordpress
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=somewordpress

(DOMAIN value can be an IP address - e.g., 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.2)

  1. docker-compose up -d

That's it!

(Upon initial run, you need to step through the standard WordPress setup form (~5 fields), and then you can login and access D.T with pre-install Theme, plugins, any supporting files (e.g., .htaccess, upload.ini), etc...).

Restore from backup (optional)

Assumes a previous mysqldump (docker exec -i ubuntu_db_1 mysqldump -uroot -p wordpress > 20200809.sql).

  • Edit docker-compose.yml file to include the following under the db -> volumes block: 
      ...
  db:
   image: mysql:5.7
   volumes:
     - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
     - ./20200809.sql:/20200809.sql
   restart: always
   environment:
   ...
  • docker exec -it ubuntu_db_1 bash
  • mysql -uroot -p wordpress
  • mysql>source 20200809.sql

Note 1: These instructions assume that ubuntu_db_1 is the name of the container running MySQL. To find the names of your runnning containers: docker ps Note 2: You do not need to step through the WordPress onboarding to restore DB from mysqldump - just skip it. Note 3: Depending on your setup, you most likely need to run the above Docker commands using sudo (e.g., sudo docker ps)
