Use Docker-Compose to build a Wordpress environment

This article briefly demonstrates how to use Docker-Compose to build a wordpress environment.

Create docker-compose file

First, let’s create a new one file - named: wordpress-compose.yml, the content is as follows:

version: "2.0"

services:
   wpdb:
     image: mysql/mysql-server:5.7
     restart: always
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
       MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
       MYSQL_USER: wordpress
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress

   wordpress:
     depends_on:
       - wpdb
     image: wordpress:latest
     ports:
       - "8080:80"
     restart: always
     environment:
       WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: wpdb:3306
       WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress

Then execute in the directory where the file is located:

1	docker-compose -f wordpress-compose.yml up -d

In Apple M1

Mainly because the official MySQL mirror of docker does not have an arm64 version, it is enough to switch to MySQL’s own mirror. The modified compose file is as follows:

version: "2.0"

services:
   wpdb:
     image: mysql/mysql-server:5.7
     restart: always
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
       MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
       MYSQL_USER: wordpress
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress

   wordpress:
     depends_on:
       - wpdb
     image: wordpress:latest
     ports:
       - "8080:80"
     restart: always
     environment:
       WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: wpdb:3306
       WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
