This repository contains a Docker setup for running a WordPress site. It includes a Dockerfile that sets up a WordPress server and an init.sql script that initializes the WordPress database.
Info : The worpress in the container is a pre-build image so the user, password, language, front page and the first article has been already set. You can modify is in the settings of wordpress.
The Dockerfile starts from the ubuntu:jammy base image and installs necessary software including Nginix and PHP 8.3. It then copies the WordPress files into the /var/www/wordpress/ directory in the container and sets up Nginx and PHP to serve the WordPress site.
The init.sql script is run when the container starts up to initialize the WordPress database. It replaces all instances of http://localhost with the value of the WORDPRESS_HOST environment variable in the SQL dump.
To run a container from the image, use the following command:
docker run -d --name wordpress \
-e WORDPRESS_DATABASE_HOST=your-database-host \
-v /path/to/volume/:/var/www/wordpress \
-p 80:80 \
nayeonyny/wordpress:latestdocker run -d --name wordpress -p 80:80 -e WORDPRESS_DATABASE_HOST=172.28.6.193 -v /home/probu/wptest:/var/www/wordpress nayeonyny/wordpress:latestThe following environment variables can be set when running the Docker container:
| ENV | Default value | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| WORDPRESS_DATABASE | wordpress | mydatabase | The name of the WordPress database. |
| WORDPRESS_DATABASE_USER | wpuser | myuser | The username for the WordPress database. |
| WORDPRESS_DATABASE_PASSWORD | wpuser | mypassword | The password for the WordPress database. |
| WORDPRESS_DATABASE_HOST | localhost | example.com or 64.23.50.120 | The ip address of the WordPress database, can be private, public or you can use a domain. |
| WORDPRESS_HOST | localhost | example.com or 64.23.50.120 | The host of your WordPress site. If this is not set or is empty, it will default to localhost. This means that all resources will only be available on localhost. To make your WordPress site work online, change this variable to the public IP address or domain name of your host. |
| WORDPRESS_COMPOSE | false | true | If you use this image in a docker compose, you must set this variable to true, this will delay wordpress startup to allow the database container to initialize and avoid the database not found error on wordpress. |
WORDPRESS_DATABASE_HOST it can't be localhost you must change this variable or the container will be stopped, if you have a database container change to host or container ip.
This provides the IP address of your database container.
docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_name_or_idThe Dockerfile includes a health check that sends a request to http://localhost/ every 5 minutes. If the request is successful (i.e., the HTTP status code is 200), the container is considered healthy. If the request is not successful, the container is considered unhealthy.
