WPC: WordPress in Containers

This repo contains the WordPress docker image dxw uses for local development.

The image includes a mailcatcher (to avoid unintentionally sending emails to real addresses), and WP CLI.

It is not suitable for use in production.

Any changes to the main branch of this repo will automatically update the image tagged with :latest on Docker Hub.

If you're building a new WordPress project, you should use dxw's WordPress Template, which uses this image in its docker-compose.yml.

WordPress versions

When the image is built, a copy of the latest version of WordPress is downloaded.

When running the image, it will check for updates before starting Apache. However it can be configured to download other versions of WordPress via the WORDPRESS_VERSION environment variable.

Example docker-compose.yml file (the last two lines should be added - the rest are there by default):

  wordpress:
    image: thedxw/wpc-wordpress
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    links:
      - mysql
      - mailcatcher
      - beanstalk
    volumes:
      - .:/usr/src/app
      - ./wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_VERSION: 4.7
