Another version of the WordPress development environment (docker, wp-cli)

There are official images for deploying WordPress and using wp-cli. But when they were used together, I had to share the entire WordPress folder and wanted more options for customizing the installation.

I really wanted to see the browser in the browser, not an invitation to choose the installation language, but a finished site.

This article offers one way to deploy WordPress sites.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/eustatos/wordpress-docker-dev-env.git
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
        
        
        
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
     

or if you prefer ssh



:

 git clone git@github.com:eustatos/wordpress-docker-dev-env.git
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
        
        
        
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
     

Then:

 cd wordpress-docker-dev-env docker-compose up -d docker-compose exec -T wp-cli sh < install.sh
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
        
        
        
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
     

This completes the installation. Open localhost:8080



in your preferred browser.

Access to admin panel localhost:8080/wp-admin



.

User Login - admin





User Password - 123

You can change these and other environment and installation variables in the site.env



and .env



.

The wp-content



folder appears in the project folder, where you can create and / or change themes and plugins.

If there are problems with file permissions in the wp-content



folder:

 sudo usermod -a -G www-data $USER
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
        
        
        
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
     

Assembly customization

You can control the assembly as conveniently. For example, if you do not need to create themes and / or plugins by default, just make changes to install.sh



.

 #!/usr/bin/env bash wp core download --force --allow-root wp config create \ --dbhost=$WORDPRESS_DB_HOST \ --dbname=$WORDPRESS_DB_NAME \ --dbuser=$WORDPRESS_DB_USER \ --dbpass=$WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD \ --allow-root wp core install \ --title=$TITLE \ --url=$URL \ --admin_user=$ADMIN_USER \ --admin_password=$ADMIN_PASSWORD \ --admin_email=$ADMIN_EMAIL \ # add for skip creation default themes --skip-themes # add for skip creation default plugins --skip-plugins --allow-root

Topic Creation Example

For example, to create an underscores



based theme, run the following command

 docker-compose exec -T wp-cli wp scaffold _s \ sample-theme \ --theme_name="Sample Theme" \ --author="John Doe"
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
        
        
        
      
      

        
        
        
      

    
     

This command will create a sample-theme



folder in the wp-content



folder with the theme files and you can immediately start modifying it.
