Dotorg Docker

Our own flavor of Wordpress for dotorg.

Setup

Environment Variables The easiest way to run the app is by using Doppler. Ask to be added to the project.

You can install it by running brew install dopplerhq/cli/doppler. You can can check the Doppler docs here, but below is the gist of commands you need to run. You will need to have access to the Debt Collective doppler to use our project.

doppler login
doppler setup

Select dotorg-docker as the environment.

To use Doppler to inject environment variables, prepend doppler run to commands.

doppler run docker-compose up

We also support Dotenv to configure environment variables. But you will need to supply all the secrets manually.

Rename env.example to .env and set the following variables.

SSH_KEY_PATH: Path to SSH identity file for server logging
SSH_USER: User to connect to server
IP_ADDRESS: IP address of the remote server
PORT: Remote server port
MYSQL_HOST: Hostname for MySQL
MYSQL_USER: User for MySQL
MYSQL_PASS: Password for Mysql User
MYSQL_DB: MySQL Database to connect to
GITHUB_TOKEN: Github personal token to pull repos from composer

Run Locally

Starting containers

doppler run docker-compose up

This will create the containers and populate the database with the given dump. You may set your host entry and change it in the database, or you simply overwrite it in wp-config.php by adding:

define('WP_HOME','http://localhost:8000');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://localhost:8000');

Two new folders will be created.

wp-data – used to store and restore database dumps
wp-app – the location of your WordPress application

then in another terminal run:

doppler run ./setup.sh

The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the WordPress installation with the configured IP in the browser address. By default it is http://localhost:8000.

Stopping containers

docker-compose stop

Removing containers

To stop and remove all the containers use thedown command:

docker-compose down

To remove all the container volumes use:

docker volume rm dbdata
docker volume rm dotorg-docker_wordpress_dbdata

Pull latest DB

M1 Macs

If you are experiencing trouble and docker compose up spits outputs: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries

create a file in your project root named docker-compose.override.yml and include these entries:

services:
  db:
    platform: linux/amd64

On Mac

brew install mysql@5.7

run the following command if brew doesn't add this to your path and mysqldump isn't found. Ensure the version numbers are the same.

brew info mysql@5.7

Then export the path as below from the mysql path output from brew info.

export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql@5.7/5.7.35/bin:$PATH

You will need to have an SSH key in order to connect to the database and set the path of the environment variable SSH_KEY_PATH to the proper location. If you are using doppler set the staging key path to ~/.ssh/dc_aws_test and production key path to ~/.ssh/dc_aws_prod

This command will also be run in the initial setup.sh script but can be run separately to update the database:

doppler run ./import-db.sh

phpMyAdmin

Navigate to: http://localhost:8080/. Login with username root and password <DB_ROOT_PASSWORD> env variable

Build Docker Image

Run make in the root directory to build a docker image using the makefile

Troubleshooting

if Error: bind [127.0.0.1]:3306: Address already in use

Make sure to stop your local mysql service from running to allow port forwarding on port 3306.
