Intro

We always wanted a quicker better depployment for both new Wordpress projects and legacy WP projects.

Deploying WP projects in a old school way seemed no longer a good idea

That's why we worked carefully to create this template for docker compose

Thus, we create a composition with the following services

• Wordpress fpm
• Nginx - nginx-wordpress
• MySQL
• Redis

Instructions

0. carefully check configs - your domwin in nginx-conf/default.conf, mapping of source files to volumes in docker-compose.yml, presence of backup files and migrate (one-time sql script), domain name in secure.sh etc Also check config from your_wp_source_folder/wp-config.php
1. provide wp-dbbackup.sql.gz
2. Provide migrate script to update urls
3. docker-compose up -d
4. sometimes you can get permission error, then dive into container and run chown -R command:

docker exec -it files_wordpress_1 /bin/bash chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

5. run sh secure.sh to propagate certificates for cert bot

Useful commands

sudo docker stop $(sudo docker ps -aq) - stops containers sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -aq) - deletes all containers sudo docker volume rm $(sudo docker volume ls --filter dangling=true -q) - deletes volumes docker logs --since 5m files_nginx_1 - reads logs from detached running container
