💡 Using Local! You can create very quickly a simple wordpress on localhost with a domain website.local
. You can also backup your site and drag-n-drop into Local for using locally. However, Local are not always working with the custom themes.

Make a folder name mysite containing,
mysite
|-- docker-compose.yml # main file
|-- backup # contains backup files using AIO WP Migration plugins
|-- plugins # contains plugins
|-- themes # contains templates
|-- wordpress # main site's sources
In the docker-compose.yml
,
version: '3.1'
services:
wordpress:
image: wordpress
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:80
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: exampleuser
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: examplepass
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: exampledb
volumes:
- './html/:/var/www/html/'
- './plugins/:/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/'
- './themes/<theme>/:/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/<theme>'
db:
image: mysql:5.7
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: exampledb
MYSQL_USER: exampleuser
MYSQL_PASSWORD: examplepass
MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: '1'
Start the container,
cd mysite
docker-compose up -d
# check running containers
docker ps -a
Browse http://localhost:8080
to install wordpress by gui.
In the case you wanna see the list of users or access to the mysql environement,
# connect to MySQL running container
docker exec -it <container_db> bash
# connect to mysql database
mysql -u wordpress -p
# list all users
SELECT host, user FROM mysql.user;
# Download wp-cli
curl -O <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar>
# Make it executable
chmod +x wp-cli.phar
# Move it into /usr/local/bin/wp
sudo mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp
# Check whether the installation worked
wp --info
For example, activate all-in-one-wp-migration
(already copied / placed in folder plugins
)
wp plugin activate all-in-one-wp-migration --allow-root
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name
# enter to wordpress container's bash
docker exec -it <container> bash
# add
echo 'ServerName localhost' >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# restart apache/container
service apache2 restart
