digiplant/docker-wordpress-development repository overview

⁠Docker Wordpress Development

This image is a good starting point for developing wordpress themes and plugins. It shows php's errors so that you can find bugs and it has XDebug so that you can debug your code via webstorm / intellij. There are two versions, either you want to use composer as a base for your development, or you want a vanilla wordpress.

⁠PHP 7

Both the vanilla and composer versions are running on php 7 PHP has show all errors enables for simpler debugging

⁠XDebug

Xdebug 2.4 is installed and configured to listen to port 9999 and the IDEKey docker

⁠Usage

⁠Vanilla Wordpress

Uses wordpress own base image, but adds xdebug and debugging variables Check the Example⁠ directory for usage instructions

⁠Composer Wordpress

Uses composer as a base for development, which installs wordpress via composer into /wp It has a couple of workarounds to get it working with nginx. Check the Composer Example⁠ directory for usage instructions

⁠Backend Proxying

If you need to override a certain url and proxy to another backend you can include your own nginx conf which will be included along side the wordpress nginx config Check include file⁠ and mapping⁠ for how this is accomplished

⁠Access MariaDB (MySql)

To access mysql you use a database program such as Navicat or Sequel Pro.

host: localhost
port: 3306
user: root
password: 42

you can now use Navicats data transfer functionality to copy a existing db into docker.

⁠Development

to update to latest versions of wordpress and nginx run update script

./update.sh
