How Install WordPress with Docker

What you need in order to get this to work successfully.

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Step 1:

This first thing that you need to do is to create a project folder to work in, and inside the project folder you create Docker Compose file.

Open a Terminal or Command Prompt inside the project directory and run the command below.

touch docker-compose.yaml

Step 2:

Open the docker-compose.yaml file using a text editor of your choice.

Step 3:

Write the code below inside the docker-compose.yaml file and save.

version: '3.8'services:  wordpress:    image: wordpress    restart: always    ports:      - '8080:80'    environment:      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress      WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress    volumes:      - wordpress:/var/www/html  db:    image: mysql:5.7    restart: always    environment:      MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress      MYSQL_USER: wordpress      MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress      MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: '1'    volumes:      - db:/var/lib/mysqlvolumes:  wordpress:  db:

Step 4:

Go back to the Terminal or Command Prompt shell that you opened earlier, and enter the command below.

docker-compose up

Docker Compose shall execute the script and install the WordPress and MySQL images from docker hub.
It will then go ahead and Spin up two containers, one for each image.

Wait for about 1 minutes after docker-compose shows done for both containers before you can load WordPress on your browser.

Step 5:

Navigate to http://localhost:8080 on your browser, and this is the page you should expect to see.
