CW - Wordpress Development Setup

You will get a running wordpress instance based on the latest wordpress source, a database where the wordpress data will be stored, phpmyadmin for database management and extendible gulp tasks with livereload preconfigured. And this all running inside of docker container so your dev system stays clean =)

Install the following dependencies

Docker
Docker Compose
GIT
nodeJs (if you want to use browser-sync or gulp tasks)

Wordpress up and running in 10 minutes

1. Create a folder for your new wordpress project

mkdir my-wp-project && cd my-wp-project

2. Copy source files from this repo

git clone --branch=master https://github.com/creative-workflow/wordpress-docker.git . && rm -rf ./.git*

3. Download a fresh wordpress copy and copy our specific wp-config.php

./scripts/init-wordpress.sh Note: For this script you need to have curl installed. Note: You can copy your own wordpress source code to a folder named 'wordpress' inside of your 'my-wp-project' folder

4. Setup and run the web, db and php container

./scripts/run.sh

Note: At the beginning an info will be printed containing the ip where you can access your wordpress installation. E.g.

 -> starting wordpress web container on: 0.0.0.0:9999
 -> starting phpmyadmin container on: 0.0.0.0:9001
 -> if you want to use browsersync or gulp open another terminal
 -> !db container needs a few minutes first time to setup db

If you don't want to use browser-sync follow the wordpress setup guide inside of your browser and ignore the following steps.

Note: Sometimes the wordpress setup gets a timeout, but a reload shows the correct installation.

Note: In the terminal where you started the docker machine you can see the requests sent from your browser.

Note: With Ctrl+C you can stop the docker container in the terminal.

5. If you want to use browser-sync

Open a new terminal inside your project folder and run:

npm install -g gulp gulp-cli yarn coffee-script
yarn install

Note: If you have access errors prepend the commands with sudo.

Now you can start browser-sync by typing gulp serve. This will open your standard browser with your wordpress page.

Follow the wordpress setup guide.

Note: With Ctrl+C you can stop browser-sync in the terminal.

Using browser-sync

If you edit e.g. the style.css in my-wp-project/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen your browser refreshes automatically.

The browser-sync user interface is accessible via localhost:3002.

Change the watched wordpress theme

If you want to watch another or your own custom wordpress theme, change the settings in my-wp-project/gulp/config.yml and restart with gulp serve.

Manage database

You can share a database dump within your repo, so you can sync development with your team mates. (remember step 3.1)

export your database to ./data/db/dump.sql

./scripts/db-export.sh

import data from ./data/db/dump.sql

./scripts/db-import.sh

using phpmyadmin

Open http://localhost:9001 web browser. Login in with:. Login in with:

host: leave blank
user: root
password: leave blank

Manage container

start web, db, php and phpmyadmin container

./scripts/run.sh

Note: At the first line ip and port for web container access will be printed.

login to a container

docker-compose run web bash

Note: web, db, php and phpmyadmin are available.

container log files

docker-compose logs web

Note: web, db, php and phpmyadmin are available.

delete all containers

Attention: your database will be removed, ensure you dumped it(see above).

docker-compose stop && docker-compose rm

Livereload, Browsersync, Sass and Coffee

Reloads your browser on code changes and compiles sass to css and coffee to javascript. Read more.

It has to run on your local machine because of filesystem event issues.

adding and running gulp tasks

You can add your custom gulp tasks to the files in the folder ./gulp/*.
