#docker-nginx-wordpress Docker NGINX + WP + W3 total cache Container

⁠About

This container is optimized for running Wordpress and W3 total cache using NGINX

This container requires a seperate dedicated mysql container (timherman/mysql) to run. You can find timherman/mysql either at docker (https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/timherman/mysql/⁠) or github (https://github.com/timHerman/docker-mysql⁠)

⁠Usage by example

⁠The mysql container

⁠Running the container

docker run -d --name="be.punk.www.mysql" -e "MYSQL_LOCAL_USER=[username]" -e "MYSQL_LOCAL_DATABASE=[database]" -e "MYSQL_LOCAL_PASSWORD=[password]" -v /location/of/mysqldata/at/host/:/var/lib/mysql/  timherman/mysql

⁠How it works

• -d : Run daemonized
• --Name : The name of the container
• -e : Environmental parameters
  • MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD : When no root password of the database is set there will be one generated for you
  • MYSQL_LOCAL_USER : The mysql username for your application
  • MYSQL_LOCAL_DATABASE : The mysql database name for your application
  • MYSQL_LOCAL_PASSWORD : The mysql database password
• -v : Linking a directory on your host with the mysql data of the container
• timherman/mysql : The name of the repository

⁠The wordpress container

⁠Running the container

docker run -d --name="be.punk.www.wordpress" -p 80:80 -v /location/of/wordpressdata/at/host/:/var/www/ --link be.punk.www.mysql:db timherman/nginx-wordpress

⁠How it works

• -d : Run daemonized
• -p : Map the 80 port the container to the 80 port of the host ( Not required when using a reverse proxy )
• -e : Environmental parameters
  • MAILSERVER : External smtp server (smart host, default value mailserver)
• -v : Linking a directory on your host with the wordpress data of the container
• --link : linking this container be.punk.www.mysql⁠ and set it up with the hostname 'db'
• timherman/nginx-wordpress : The name of the repositor

⁠Comments

In our example the wordpress container is linked to the mysql container under the alias db. This means that you'll have to edit your wp-config file in such a way that the mysql host is no longer localhost but db.

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'db');
