Answer 1

Problem is in this part of code
user: xfs
command: >
/bin/sh -c ' sleep 10;
wp core install --url="http://localhost:8000" --title="Sample Title" --admin_name=admin --admin_password=admin --admin_email=you#domain.com '
It has to be like this
user: xfs
command: >
/bin/sh -c ' sleep 10;
wp core install --url="http://localhost:8000" --title="Sample Title" --admin_name=admin --admin_password=admin --admin_email=you#domain.com '
after command: > next 2 lines you need to give 1 Tab.
You can check your code with online formatter here.
Edit 1:
Formatted Code looks like this

Answer 2

You can install wordpress Cli either in the compose file. or you can copy the wp cli into the image using dockerfile and install wordpress using custom entrypoint.

Answer 3

I've found this on dockerhub:
Since March 2021, WordPress images use a customized wp-config.php that pulls the values directly from the environment variables defined above (see wp-config-docker.php in docker-library/wordpress#572 and docker-library/wordpress#577). As a result of reading environment variables directly, the cli container also needs the same set of environment variables to properly evaluate wp-config.php.
So you'd need to set the environment like in your original wordpress, like below (which worked for me, also using traefik..):
version: "3.9"
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- ./db:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
MYSQL_USER: wordpress
MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
wordpress:
depends_on:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
restart: always
environment: &env
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA: |
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );
volumes:
- &html
./html:/var/www/html
labels: &lab
- "traefik.enable=true"
- "traefik.port=80"
- "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:subdomain.domain.com"
networks:
- default
- web
wordpress-cli:
image: wordpress:cli
depends_on:
- db
- wordpress
environment:
<<: *env
volumes:
- *html
entrypoint: sh
command: -c 'sleep 10; wp core install --url="https://subdomain.domain.com" --title="greatname" --admin_name=admin --admin_password="mysupersecureadminpw" --admin_email=my#domain.com'
networks:
web:
external: true
You can also leave out the entrypoint and command part and just run docker-compose run wordpress-cli core install ... after you checked that everything is running. If you remove the entrypoint part, you can also run any other wp-cli command instead of core install that way :-)
