anchenni / docker-web-server-wordpress Goto Github PK

Dockerized Web Server with WordPress, MySQL, and PhpMyAdmin for Windows.

This GitHub project provides a convenient way to set up a local development environment for a web server using Docker. The environment includes containers for WordPress, MySQL, and PhpMyAdmin, allowing you to easily develop, test, and manage your web applications.

Features:

• Docker Compose Configuration: The project includes a well-structured Docker Compose YAML file that defines the services required for the web server setup.

• WordPress Container: The WordPress container runs the popular WordPress content management system. You can develop and test your WordPress-based websites in an isolated environment.

• MySQL Container: The MySQL container provides the necessary database backend for your WordPress installation. It ensures data persistence and allows you to manage your site's data without affecting other components.

• PhpMyAdmin Container: The PhpMyAdmin container offers a graphical user interface to interact with the MySQL database. This enables you to manage and manipulate your database easily.

• Scalability and Isolation: Each component is containerized, offering scalability and isolation. You can focus on developing your application without worrying about conflicts between dependencies.

How to Run the Project:

1. Prerequisites: Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system.

2. Clone the Repository: Clone this GitHub repository to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/Anchenni/docker-web-server-wordpress.git

3. Navigate to the Project Directory: Move into the project directory.

   cd docker-web-server-wordpress

4. Edit Configuration (Optional): Open the docker-compose.yml file and modify any environment variables, passwords, or settings according to your preferences.

5. Start the Containers: Run the following command to start the containers.

   docker-compose up -d

   The -d flag runs the containers in the background.

6. Access WordPress: Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access your WordPress site. Follow the WordPress installation instructions.

7. Access PhpMyAdmin: To manage your database, go to http://localhost:8081. Log in with the MySQL username and password specified in the docker-compose.yml file.

8. Stop and Clean Up: When you're done working, you can stop and remove the containers.

   docker-compose down

   This will stop and remove the containers, but your data will persist if you haven't modified the volume configurations.

With this project, you can easily set up a local development environment for web applications that require WordPress, MySQL, and a database management interface. It provides a streamlined and reproducible way to work on web projects without the hassle of manual installation and configuration.
