A lightweight Docker set up for WordPress development.
This environment requires Docker.
Clone this repository into a directory to contain your installation of WordPress.
After cloning and entering that directory, run docker-compose up to install the
necessary containers.
You should see a message indicating that the installation was successful. You may
now navigate to localhost:8080 to install WordPress.
To stop the server, run docker-compose stop. To start it again, docker-compose start. 😁
If you wish to get rid of this installation of WordPress, database and all, run
docker-compose down. Unless you've made a backup this is irreversible.
This repository's .gitignore will ignore every file except itself, this file,
and docker-compose.yml.
If you're planning to commit WordPress files to a Git repository, I recommend only
making exceptions in .gitignore for those that are specific to your site, e.g.
plugins and themes, since core WordPress files are handled by the container.
(Disclaimer: I haven't tested how installation will behave when /wp-content is
already present in the directory. I intend to do this at some point.)
