Docker - Wordpress Setup

Docker Compose Wordpress setup

These instructions will setup docker and wordpress. Wordpress will run on apache server on port 80. If you already have a server running on port 80 you'll need to stop the service. You can setup this to run the wordpress on another port like 8080 or 8000 but our plugins, right now, don't function fully on another port. After you get everything running goto localhost and setup the initial wordpress install.

Post install

You'll need to set the permissions of the wordpress folder to be group writable.

This should be done from within the container.

docker exec -it {docker container name} "bash"
