WP Bedrock and Docker

Simple and fast Wordpress Bedrock setup on docker. This setup has the advantage of using separate container for each service which is little bit slower on Windows devices. Faster version of this setup using official WordPress image is here.

Supported technologies

• Apache
• PHP 7.3
• MySQL 8
• PhpMyAdmin
• Composer
• WP-CLI - command line interface for WordPress

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your PC
2. cd into the folder and edit .env
3. cd into src folder and edit .env
4. Download bedrock with composer:

docker-compose run composer create-project roots/bedrock

or if you have composer installed globally:

composer create-project roots/bedrock

5. copy env file from src folder to bedrock and rewrite.

6. From the root run:

docker-compose up -d

7. Wordpress is ready for installation on the localholst IP you have inserted in .env file.

WP-CLI

To use wp-cli, you can easily set alias in .bashrc file in your user folder.

alias wp="docker-compose run --rm wpcli"

Then you can run standard commands. For instance for database manipulation you can run:

Import database:

wp db import databasename.sql

Database dump:

wp db export

Database drop:

wp db drop

Search and replace:

wp search-replace 'old-url' 'new-url'

MySQL

If you want, you can use standard MySQL commands.

Database dump:

docker exec CONTAINER-NAME sh -c 'exec mysqldump DBNAME -uroot -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD"' > backup.sql

Database import:

docker exec -i CONTAINER-NAME sh -c 'exec mysql -uroot DBNAME -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD"' < backup.sql

If you want to change the default web folder, just rewrite these 3 files:

1. In bedrock folder rename web folder to html for instance
2. In config folder in application.php change $webroot_dir variable from web to html
