We do this as wordpress would copy everything from the /usr/src/wordpress to /var/www/html on startup when it would not find a valid wordpress installation in that directory. This is also helpful when we need to install plugins during the initialization tasks as we more than often need to keep a persistent wp-config.php file.

Description:
The initialization task did not have the necessary environment variables to make DB connections. This is handy and required when installing certain plugins during initialization.
For now, we only had the wp-content directory mounted into the container. For this reason, wordpress would copy the installation files to
var/www/htmlon startup. For reference, here are the startup logs:By mounting the entire wordpress directory in the
var/www/htmldirectory, we can also install wordpress plugins using initialization tasks and modify the wp-config.php file during initialization tasks to keep it persistent across the job and the wordpress container itself.
