⁠Install with docker-compose

The easiest way to install these containers is with a docker-compose.yml file. The compose file will download and start two containers. The first container will start a customized version of the Official Wordpress container. The second is an Official MariaDB container.

The customized Wordpress container has the following added features.

• https enabled using a self-signed certificate
• wp-cli⁠
  • A script (wp) that will run wp-cli, while logged in as root

Docker-compose will mount the following directories where the command is run.

• database = MariaDB data files
• html = Web root
• database_log = Log files for MariaDB
• html_log = Log files for Apache

⁠How to run docker-compose

mkdir wordpress
cd wordpress
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tlezotte/wordpress/master/docker-compose.yml
** read note below **
docker-compose up -d

wait for it to initialize completely, and visit https://localhost:8443⁠.

NOTE: Change the passwords for WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD and MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD before running docker-compose up -d. The passwords need to be the same.
