A nice and easy way to get a Wordpress instance up and running using docker. For help on getting started with docker see the official getting started guide. For more information on Wordpress and check out it's website.
It uses:
- PHP 5.5
- Xdebug see guide for tips how to use
- Xcache
- Nginx
Running this will build you a docker image with the latest stable version of both docker-wpdev and Wordpress itself. You can use Git to manage your Wordpress version.
git clone https://github.com/dz0ny/docker-wpdev.git
cd docker-wpdev
git submodule update --init --recursive
sudo docker build -t dz0ny/wpdev .
Everything you do is in the web/content
folder(plugins, themes). This way all your code is
separated from actual Wordpress install and enables you to quickly switch Wordpress versions.
If this is the only thing running on your system you can map the port to 80 and no
proxy is needed. i.e. -p=80:80
.
sudo docker run -p=80:80 -v=$(pwd)/web:/srv/wordpress dz0ny/wpdev
From now on when you start/stop docker-wpdev you should use the container id
with the following commands. To get your container id, after you initial run
type sudo docker ps
and it will show up on the left side followed by the image
name which is dz0ny/wpdev:latest
.
sudo docker start <container_id>
sudo docker stop <container_id>
-v
is the volume you are mounting-v=host_dir:docker_dir
dz0ny/wpdev
is simply what I called my docker build of this image-d=true
allows this to run cleanly as a daemon, remove for debugging-p
is the port it connects to,-p=host_port:docker_port
