Docker WordPress Dev

Docker WordPress for developers based on https://docs.docker.com/compose/wordpress/

Build the project

Create directory for your project (for example my_wordpress)

mkdir my_wordpress

Now go to your project directory:

cd my_wordpress

And run command:

docker-compose up -d

This runs docker-compose up in detached mode, pulls the needed Docker images, and starts the wordpress and database containers. At this point, WordPress should be running on port 8000 of your Docker Host. If you are using Docker Desktop for Mac or Docker Desktop for Windows, you can use http://localhost as the IP address, and open http://localhost:8000 in a web browser.
