How do I make it such that I can upload plugins and have them persist on docker compose setup? I'm working with wordpress 4. My docker compose is for a plugin I'm developing, and I would like to have it automatically install my plugins. Right now I'm trying to use volumes to fudge it, and persist them, but the directory is not writable.
Or is there a way to say add these plugins on setup with the default wordpress image?

I'm new to docker and databases but my first project on local host doesn't load as expected. The side appears but the content is scattered. Here is the .yml file
version: "3.9"
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- db_data:/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
volumes:
- ./www:/var/www/html
ports:
- "80:80"
restart: always
environment:

WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
volumes:
db_data: {}
Every time you run
$ docker-compose up
Docker create a new network to which all the containers in your compose file will be connected to.
In the first run of this compose file, you do the installation of Wordpress,
and Wordpress insert the IP address of your web site in the database.
The problem occur when you stop this compose file with:
$ docker-compose down
the network created with "docker-compose up" is removed
and when you run the compose file again, docker will create a new network with different IP addresses, so links become broken because your webpages still point to the old IP address.
A solution can be to create a network outside compose file with:
$ docker network create my_network
and empty the volume "dbdata" and the folder "./www" (and lose all your data) then update your compose file with:
version: "3.9"
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- db_data:/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
volumes:
- ./www:/var/www/html
ports:

restart: always
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
volumes:
db_data: {}
networks:

external:
name: my_network
I think there is solution to this problem without losing your data, for more information you can read this article.
I've created a docker yml file what contains the db and wordpress image and I want to connect Apache to Wordpress. How do I let Apache know the PHP files from Wordpress and how do I can connect to my webserver with my own url.
These are my docker containers which are running

Is this way right?
I edit this cfg "wp-config.php" for my example url:
define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.example.com/');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.example.com/'); `
But I can't connect it.

So I decided to try Docker for my local Wordpress development.
Luckily, Docker has a quickstart guide for that.
I followed the entire process and I *think* I understood most of it. However, when I had the Docker container up and running, it made a clean installation of Wordpress instead of using the local files I had for a project. I initially thought that changing the directory to the project folder allowed it to read the files in it. Apparently, I was mistaken. I've tried searching the net for an answer and
most of them are just tutorials into how to use Docker for WP.
So with that in mind, how do I create a Docker container (or change the Docker YAML file) that uses the local WP files I have?
docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:

Project structure

/sql
docker-compose.yml
I'm running on Ubuntu 19.04
Wordpress on docker
Create the docker-compose.yml with the follwing
version: '3.1'
services:
wordpress:
image: wordpress
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:80
volumes:
- ./app:/var/www/html
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: DoKRteST
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: mysql
mysql:
image: mysql:5.7
# Uncomment the below code to maintain the persistancy of the data
# volumes:
# - ./wordpress:/var/www/html
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: DoKRteST
./app folder is the actual wordpress app folder
Simply click on
to run it on Play with docker
You just need to mount wp-content of the host to the container. you can look for wp-content in your current directory structure probably under app/wp-content
wordpress:
depends_on:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
ports:
- "8000:80"
restart: always
volumes:
- wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress

I have created a local docker wordpress instance and I am trying to connect to the database with a SQL Client (in my case TablePlus) but I am having trouble.
I created the docker containers from a docker-compose.yml file shown here:
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- db_data:/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
ports:
- "8028:80"
- "8029:8029"
volumes:
- ./themes/travelmatic:/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/yadayada
restart: always
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
VIRTUAL_HOST: leasepilot.local
volumes:

I have tried any comibindation of wordpress and somewordpress in these fields:
I also have the option to connect over SSH but I don't feel I would need to do that?
1) What is the best way to debug this type of issue?
2) What are the creds? lol
There is another bit of information that should be added to the Praveen answer.
If you have already mysql installed locally, on your computer/laptop, settings the db ports to:
- "3306:3306"
it won't work because TablePlus will connect to your local mysql instance.
Instead you should set your Docker mysql on a different published port and access that from TablePlus.
For example, set these ports on your Dockerfile (published port is 3356):
"3356:3306"
Then set the same port on TablePlus:
Just as David has suggested in his comment, you need to add port mapping in docker-compose.yml. So, your modified docker-compose.yml would be something like this:
version: '3'
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
MYSQL_USER: wordpress
MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
ports:
- "3306:3306"
wordpress:
depends_on:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
ports:
- "8028:80"
- "8029:8029"
volumes:
- ./themes/travelmatic:/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/yadayada
restart: always
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
VIRTUAL_HOST: leasepilot.local
volumes:
db_data:
And you have already provided the creds in the docker-compose.yml in environment variables.
Quickstart: Compose and WordPress proposes the following docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- dbdata:/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
ports:
- "8000:80"
restart: always
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
volumes:
dbdata:
For persisting database data, a volume is created:
The docker volume db_data persists any updates made by Wordpress to the database.
but nothing is mentioned about the wordpress container...
Questions:
should I follow the same approach and create volumes for the wordpress container, in order to persist the data that are going to be added (by posts, uploads, themes)?
If yes, which paths / directories should I point to?
Maybe I've found something...
volumes:
- wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
According to this article:
...wp-content contains all user-supplied content. Basically anything you can upload to your site ends up here. That doesn’t include anything you write, mind you. Those things are stored in the WordPress database.
However, as long as you have both the database and your wp-content folder, you can always get your site back, even if everything else was lost.
This is also applied here: Setting up WordPress with Docker
