Install WordPress on Docker

Follow these steps:

1. Pull the WordPress Docker Image

Pull the official WordPress Docker image from Docker Hub:

docker pull wordpress

2. Create a Network for the Containers

Create a Docker network to allow the WordPress and MySQL containers to communicate:

docker network create wordpress-net

3. Run the MySQL Container

Run a MySQL container and join it to the network:

docker run -d --name mysql --network wordpress-net -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root_password -e MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress mysql

Replace root_password with a secure password.

4. Run the WordPress Container

Run the WordPress container and link it to the MySQL container. Also map port 80 to access WordPress:

docker run -d --name wordpress --network wordpress-net -p 80:80 -e WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=mysql -e WORDPRESS_DB_USER=root -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=root_password -e WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=wordpress wordpress

Replace root_password with the password you set for MySQL.

5. Access WordPress

Open your web browser and visit http://localhost or http://your_server_ip. You should see the WordPress setup page.[1][5]

After completing the setup, WordPress will be installed and running in the Docker container.

Some additional tips:

• Use Docker volumes to persist WordPress data by adding -v wordpress-data:/var/www/html to the docker run command for WordPress.[1][5]
• For better performance, you can use an official MySQL image instead of the bundled MySQL in the WordPress image.[5]
• Use Docker Compose to define and run the WordPress setup with a single command.[5]

The official WordPress Docker image from Docker Hub makes it easy to get WordPress up and running quickly in an isolated Docker environment.[1][5]
