Quick start

You can automatically deploy a local docker wordpress site in 5 minutes using the following commands. Two options are available: make command and docker-compose standard commands.

# Download a wordpress docker-compose example
git clone https://github.com/kassambara/wordpress-docker-compose
cd wordpress-docker-compose

# Use make command for automatic installation and
# configuration of wordpress
make autoinstall

# Or, use docker-compose standard commands
docker-compose up -d --build
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f wp-auto-config.yml run --rm wp-auto-config
  1. Visit your wordpress website at http://localhost. Default identification for admin (http://localhost/wp-login.php):
  • Username: wordpress and
  • Password: wordpress

Website

  1. Visit your database via phpMyAdmin at http://localhost:8080
  • Username: root and
  • Password: password

phpMyAdmin

Shutdown and cleanup

# Stop and remove containers
docker-compose down
# Build, and start the wordpress website
docker-compose up -d --build
# Reset everything
docker-compose down
rm -rf mysql/* wordpress/*

Note that, instead of using the above docker-compose commands, you can also use easily the following make shortcut command lines if you have Unix systems (MAC / Linux).

# Build, and start the wordpress website
make start
# Stop and remove wordpress docker containers
make down
# Reset everything
make reset
