A boilerplate for developing themes/plugins for wordpress using docker

Docker Development environment for Wordpress based webpage

Note that this is ment to be used as a development environment only, there are poor cleartext passwords definded in various files that should be changed and preferably stored in environment variables that makes this unfit for a production environment.

Install and run development environment

Docker-compose is setup for development on this project. So the only software you need setup locally is:

• Docker
• Docker-compose

Hosts

In you hosts file add:

127.0.0.1	wordpress.dev

Start Wordpress server

Run in root of repo:

$ docker-compose up

Access site

http://wordpress.dev:8080

Dump db locally

To save everything in the db to an sql file, run the supplied script. (you might want to change the name of the conatiner in the script)

$ ./dumpDb.sh

This will create/overwrite the file "db/database-dump.sql", And if this file is present when first runing docker-compose on a new system it will be parsed by the db container. Making it usefull for keeping db changes in git. (Another reason to only use this as a development environment). You can also force a db rebuild by running:

$ docker-compose down
$ docker-compose rm -v
$ docker-compose up

Troubleshooting

Depending on you OS the folders created by docker might be write protected, you can revert this with:

$ chown -R username:group .
