A simple example

Say you want to run a single site on a VPS with Docker

mkdir -p /data/sites/etopian.com/htdocs

sudo docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=etopian.com,www.etopian.com -v /data/sites/etopian.com:/DATA -p 80:80 etopian/alpine-php-wordpress

The following user and group id are used, the files should be set to this: User ID: Group ID:

chown -R 100:101 /data/sites/etopian.com/htdocs

Say you want to run a multiple WP sites on a VPS with Docker

sudo docker run -p 80:80 etopian/nginx-proxy
mkdir -p /data/sites/etopian.com/htdocs

sudo docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=etopian.com,www.etopian.com -v /data/sites/etopian.com:/DATA etopian/alpine-php-wordpress

mkdir -p /data/sites/etopian.net/htdocs
sudo docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=etopian.net,www.etopian.net -v /data/sites/etopian.net:/DATA etopian/alpine-php-wordpress

Populate /data/sites/etopian.com/htdocs and /data/sites/etopian.net/htdocs with your WP files. See http://www.wordpressdocker.com if you need help on how to configure your database.

The following user and group id are used, the files should be set to this: User ID: Group ID:

chown -R 100:101 /data/sites/etopian.com/htdocs

Volume structure

• htdocs: Webroot
• logs: Nginx/PHP error logs

WP-CLI

This image now includes WP-CLI baked in... So you can. Please su nginx before executing or else you can potentially compromise your host.

docker exec -it <container_name> bash
su nginx
cd /DATA/htdocs
wp-cli cli

Multisite

For each multisite you need to give the domain as the -e VIRTUAL_HOST parameter. For instance VIRTUAL_HOST=site1.com,www.site1.com,site2.com,www.site2.com ... if you wish to add more sites you need to recreate the container.

Upload limit

The upload limit is 2 gigabyte.

Change php.ini value

modify files/php-fpm.conf

To modify php.ini variable, simply edit php-fpm.ini and add php_flag[variable] = value.

php_flag[display_errors] = on
