WordPress Demo

This repository contains a demo setup for WordPress, showcasing a simple environment to get WordPress up and running quickly. It is designed for educational purposes and for testing WordPress features in a local or development environment.

Features

• Pre-configured WordPress Setup: A fully functional WordPress demo with minimal configuration.
• Docker Support: Uses Docker and Docker Compose for easy setup and teardown.
• Customizable: Environment variables allow easy customization of the WordPress setup.
• Lightweight and Portable: Quickly spin up or destroy your WordPress instance without affecting your local machine configuration.

Requirements

• Docker installed on your machine.
• Docker Compose installed.

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/OddRefrigerator/wordpress-demo.git
   cd wordpress-demo

2. Start the WordPress demo environment using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d

   This will pull the required images and start the containers for WordPress and MySQL.

3. Once the containers are up and running, open your browser and go to:

   http://localhost:8000
   

   Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the WordPress installation (choose a site name, admin credentials, etc.).

Customization

You can customize the environment using the .env file. The following parameters can be adjusted:

• WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: Set the name of the WordPress database (default: wordpress).
• WORDPRESS_DB_USER: Set the username for the MySQL database (default: user).
• WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: Set the password for the MySQL database (default: password).
• WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: Hostname of the MySQL server (default: db).

You can edit these values in the .env file before running docker-compose up.

Stopping and Cleaning Up

To stop the WordPress environment, run:

docker-compose down

This will stop and remove the containers. The data (like the WordPress content and database) will persist unless you remove the volumes.

To remove all data and start fresh:

docker-compose down -v

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter issues with the WordPress site not loading, ensure that Docker is running and the containers are healthy. You can check the container status using:

  docker ps

• Check logs for any errors:

  docker-compose logs
