• Docker
• mkcert for creating the SSL cert.

Install mkcert:

brew install mkcert brew install nss # if you use Firefox 

Both step 1. and 2. below are required:

Copy .env.example in the project root to .env and edit your preferences.

Example:

IP=127.0.0.1 APP_NAME=myapp DOMAIN="myapp.local" DB_HOST=mysql DB_NAME=myapp DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password DB_TABLE_PREFIX=wp_

Edit ./src/.env.example to your needs. During the composer create-project command described below, an ./src/.env will be created.

Example:

DB_NAME='myapp' DB_USER='root' DB_PASSWORD='password' # Optionally, you can use a data source name (DSN) # When using a DSN, you can remove the DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_HOST variables # DATABASE_URL='mysql://database_user:database_password@database_host:database_port/database_name' # Optional variables DB_HOST='mysql' # DB_PREFIX='wp_' WP_ENV='development' WP_HOME='https://myapp.local' WP_SITEURL="${WP_HOME}/wp" WP_DEBUG_LOG=/path/to/debug.log # Generate your keys here: https://roots.io/salts.html AUTH_KEY='generateme' SECURE_AUTH_KEY='generateme' LOGGED_IN_KEY='generateme' NONCE_KEY='generateme' AUTH_SALT='generateme' SECURE_AUTH_SALT='generateme' LOGGED_IN_SALT='generateme' NONCE_SALT='generateme'

1. Create a SSL cert:

cd cli ./create-cert.sh

This script will create a locally-trusted development certificates. It requires no configuration.

mkcert needs to be installed like described in Requirements. Read more for Windows and Linux

1b. Make sure your /etc/hosts file has a record for used domains.

sudo nano /etc/hosts 

Add your selected domain like this:

127.0.0.1 myapp.local 

2. Continue on the Install step below

1. Edit nginx/default.conf.conf to use this simpler config (without using a cert and HTTPS)

server { listen 80; root /var/www/html/web; index index.php; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log; client_max_body_size 100M; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass wordpress:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; } } 

2. Edit the nginx service in docker-compose.yml to use port 80. 443 is not needed now.

 nginx: image: nginx:latest container_name: ${APP_NAME}-nginx ports: - '80:80' 

3. Continue on the Install step below

docker-compose up

Docker Compose will now start all the services for you:

Starting myapp-mysql ... done Starting myapp-composer ... done Starting myapp-phpmyadmin ... done Starting myapp-wordpress ... done Starting myapp-nginx ... done Starting myapp-mailhog ... done

🚀 Open https://myapp.local in your browser

PhpMyAdmin comes installed as a service in docker-compose.

🚀 Open http://127.0.0.1:8082/ in your browser

MailHog comes installed as a service in docker-compose.

🚀 Open http://0.0.0.0:8025/ in your browser

docker-compose run composer update

docker exec -it myapp-wordpress bash

Login to the container

wp search-replace https://olddomain.com https://newdomain.com --allow-root

Run a wp-cli command

You can use this command first after you've installed WordPress using Composer as the example above.

You can, but I recommend to use Composer for this only. But to enable this edit ./src/config/environments/development.php (for example to use it in Dev)

Config::define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false); Config::define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', false);

When making changes to the Dockerfile, use:

docker-compose up -d --force-recreate --build

Login to the docker container

docker exec -it myapp-wordpress bash

Stop

docker-compose stop

Down (stop and remove)

docker-compose down

Cleanup

docker-compose rm -v

Recreate

docker-compose up -d --force-recreate

Rebuild docker container when Dockerfile has changed

docker-compose up -d --force-recreate --build
