Run a WordPress development environment with Docker Compose.

 docker-compose up -d
 docker-compose run --rm wp-cli install-wordpress

The wordpress container exposes Apache on host port 8080:

http://localhost:8080

http://localhost:8080/wp-admin

http://localhost:8080/wp-json

The default credentials for the WordPress admin user are wordpress/wordpress.

The mysql container exposes MySQL on host port 8306:

mysql -uwordpress -pwordpress -h127.0.0.1 -P8306 wordpress

You can also run commands on the container:

docker-compose run mysql mysql -hmysql -uwordpress -pwordpress wordpress

The wp-cli container supports WP-CLI commands as well as arbitrary shell code e.g.

docker-compose run --rm wp-cli plugin list
docker-compose run --rm wp-cli php -i

Import a mysqldump:

docker-compose run mysql mysql -hmysql -uwordpress -pwordpress wordpress < example.sql
docker-compose run --rm wp-cli search-replace https://example.com http://localhost:8080

View service logs:

docker-compose logs wordpress
docker-compose logs mysql

Alias wp-cli:

alias dwp='docker-compose run --rm wp-cli'
