WordPress with Docker Compose

This is a super simple and basic way to get WordPress running locally with docker-compose. More details on how this works can be found on the official WordPress image page.

This should run on PC/MAC/Raspberry Pi

Copy/Paste into a new file names: docker-compose.yaml

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:10.6.4-focal
    command: '--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password'
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=somewordpress
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress
      - MYSQL_USER=wordpress
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=wordpress
    expose:
      - 3306
      - 33060
  wordpress:
    image: wordpress:latest
    ports:
      - 80:80
    restart: always
    environment:
      - WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=db
      - WORDPRESS_DB_USER=wordpress
      - WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=wordpress
      - WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=wordpress
volumes:
  db_data:

Once this is completed, run the following in the same directory/folder you created docker-compose.yaml

$ docker-compose up -d

After a little bit, WordPress will be running in the background. You can access using http://localhost

In order to stop and remove the container, run the following:

docker-compose down

To get rid of all of it, pass the -v parameter:

$ docker-compose down -v
