WordPress via Docker

This repository provides a ready-to-use WordPress setup on Docker, perfect for quickly jumping into a new theme/plugin development.

Theme deployment

It includes 2 starter themes :

• one from underscores.me
• one from WordPress Gulp Starter Kit which includes a full gulp-based development workflow. Just pick the one you like best and start hacking.

Plugin development

It includes an instance of the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate You could also generate one here.

Installation

• install Docker
• install Docker-compose
• Clone this repository on your computer

How-to use it

• cd to your project folder
• Start the machine: docker-compose up -d
• Visit http://localhost:1973/ to see the live local site.
• Visit http://localhost:8080/ to use PhpMyAdmin and perform database dumps (obligatory in between docker reloads, otherwise you will lose any change in the database).
• To stop the machine: docker-compose down

Populate the database

If you put a .sql file in the /data folder, it will autopopulate the wordpressdatabase when you fire up docker-compose. So a good idea is to backup your wordpress database as an SQL file into the /datafolder before shutting down docker. You can use phpmyadmin (on localhost:8080) to export the database.
