# Quickstart: Docker Compose and WordPress
|
|
|
|
You can use Docker Compose to easily run WordPress in an isolated environment built
|
|
with Docker containers. This quick-start guide demonstrates how to use Compose to set up and run WordPress. Before starting, you'll need to have
|
|
[Compose installed](install.md).
|
|
|
|
## Define the project
|
|
|
|
1. Create an empty project directory.
|
|
|
|
You can name the directory something easy for you to remember. This directory is the context for your application image. The directory should only contain resources to build that image.
|
|
|
|
This project directory will contain a `docker-compose.yaml` file which will be complete in itself for a good starter wordpress project.
|
|
|
|
2. Change directories into your project directory.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you named your directory `my_wordpress`:
|
|
|
|
$ cd my-wordpress/
|
|
|
|
3. Create a `docker-compose.yml` file that will start your `Wordpress` blog and a separate `MySQL` instance with a volume mount for data persistence:
|
|
|
|
version: '2'
|
|
services:
|
|
db:
|
|
image: mysql:5.7
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- "./.data/db:/var/lib/mysql"
|
|
restart: always
|
|
environment:
|
|
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: wordpress
|
|
MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
|
|
MYSQL_USER: wordpress
|
|
MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
|
|
|
|
wordpress:
|
|
depends_on:
|
|
- db
|
|
image: wordpress:latest
|
|
links:
|
|
- db
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "8000:80"
|
|
restart: always
|
|
environment:
|
|
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
|
|
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The folder `./.data/db` will be automatically created in the project directory
|
|
alongside the `docker-compose.yml` which will persist any updates made by wordpress to the
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
### Build the project
|
|
|
|
Now, run `docker-compose up -d` from your project directory. This will pull the needed images, and then start the wordpress and database containers.
|
|
|
|
If you're using [Docker Machine](https://docs.docker.com/machine/), then `docker-machine ip MACHINE_VM` gives you the machine address and you can open `http://MACHINE_VM_IP:8000` in a browser.
|
|
|
|
At this point, WordPress should be running on port `8000` of your Docker Host, and you can complete the "famous five-minute installation" as a WordPress administrator.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The Wordpress site will not be immediately available on port `8000` because
|
|
the containers are still being initialized and may take a couple of minutes before the
|
|
first load.
