A setup for installing WordPress in Docker on Ubuntu for local development.
Runs on Apache, PHP 8.4, MySQL 8, XDebug, WordPress, and WP-CLI.
Make sure you already have git, docker, and docker-compose installed.
If not, see the installation guides below.
Download and copy the files to the folder where your project will be located.
You can download the zip archive or simply type in the console:
$ git clone https://github.com/Neolot/docker-wp.gitAfter creating the project, navigate to the docker-wp folder:
$ cd docker-wp/The docker-compose.yml file contains all the settings for the project in the environment section.
You can leave it as is or modify it to your liking.
Don't forget to add the local domain to your hosts file. By default, it's development.site:
127.0.0.1 development.site
The script can automatically import a database during installation.
Place an import file named import.sql in the db folder, and it will be loaded.
Make sure that the domain of the site from which you exported the database is specified in docker-compose.yml (the LIVE_URL parameter).
Then during import, the site domain will be automatically changed to the value of the DEV_URL parameter.
$ ./install.shAfter this, the images will start downloading and the containers will be installed.
If everything went successfully, the site will be available at:
http://development.site
If you get an error after launching:
/usr/bin/env: ‘bash\r’: No such file or directory
simply change the line endings in the script to LF and run the script again.
After the first launch, the containers are immediately ready to work. And you no longer need to reinstall everything each time, as the containers are already created.
Start containers:
$ bin/docker-start.shStop containers:
$ bin/docker-stop.sh$ ./uninstall.shThis will delete the database and all files in the project folder.
