Out-of-the-box Wordpress docker image which can be linked to MySQL.

This image needs an external MySQL server or linked MySQL container. To create a MySQL container:

docker run -d -e MYSQL_PASS="<your_password>" --name db -p 3306:3306 tutum/mysql:5.5

To run Wordpress by linking to the database created above:

docker run -d --link db:db -e DB_PASS="<your_password>" -p 80:80 tutum/wordpress-stackable

Now, you can use your web browser to access Wordpress from the the follow address:

http://localhost/

The installation wizard will appear.

To run wordpress-stackable in tutum, simply run the following command:

tutum stack up --name wordpress

You can then run tutum service ps --stack wordpress to find out the url of your wordpress stack.

If you want to use it as a base image to create your customized version of wordpress, you can do so by creating a Dockerfile similar to the following:

FROM tutum/wordpress-stackable:latest

# Add an initial data which will be automatically loaded when creating the database for the first time
ADD initial_db.sql /initial_db.sql

# Add custom themes, plugins and/or uploads
ADD themes/ /app/wp-content/themes/
ADD plugins/ /app/wp-content/plugins/
ADD uploads/ /app/wp-content/uploads/

To launch wordpress using docker-compose, simply execute the following command:

docker-compose up -d

The first time that you run this command, a new MySQL container will be created, which will then be linked to the Wordpress container automatically. You can start using Wordpress from your browser at http://localhost/

Edit docker-compose.yml to customize the wordpress service before running docker-compose up:

The default docker-compose.yml shows as follow:

wordpress:
  build: .
  links:
   - db
  ports:
   - "80:80"
  environment:
    DB_NAME: wordpress
    DB_USER: admin
    DB_PASS: "**ChangeMe**"
    DB_HOST: "**LinkMe**"
    DB_PORT: "**LinkMe**"
db:
  image: tutum/mysql:5.5
  environment:
    MYSQL_PASS: "**ChangeMe**"

• Change the ports "80:80" to map to a different port number: e.g. "8080:80" will run wordpress at port 8080.

• Change the value of DB_NAME, DB_PASS credentials (name, password) to connect to MySQL. Value of DB_USER must be admin at this moment.

• Modify password of admin user in MySQL container by changing the value of MYSQL_PASS, must be the same value of DB_PASS.

• To use a MariaDB instead of MySQL, you can make the following changes to the docker-compose.yml file:

    db:
      image: tutum/mariadb:latest
      environment:
        MARIADB_PASS: randpass
  

  And then, change DB_PASS to the same value as MARIADB_PASS.
