Simple docker setup

Features:

• Volume for the theme to get instant updates while editing
• Volume for the DB for persistant storage
• Composer for installing plugins

Setup

1. Copy the .env.example to the /config/local
2. Replace the salt vales in the /wordpress/wp-config.php
3. Add required free plugins to the /wordpress/composer.json from WPackagist
4. Add bought/unavailable plugins to the /wordpress/wp-content/plugins folder and if the repo is private add them to the .gitignore as an exception like so:

!/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/plugin-folder-name

5. Replace the theme in the /wordpress/wp-content/themes/your-theme with your theme, and update the rules in the .gitignore so the theme is in your repo but the theme vendor folder is not
6. Run docker compose up in the root of the project, first time will require a build of the containers so it will take a bit longer
7. (Optional) If you need to load in a DB, after the containers are both running you can conntect to localhost:3306 with the credentials in the /config/local/.env

Running

1. Start docker on your local machine
2. Run docker compose up in the root of the project
3. Wordpress should be up and running on localhost:80

Closing

1. Hit ctrl/cmnd + c on the running containers to kill them
2. To clean them up run docker compose down, this will remove the containers
