This repository provides a Docker Compose setup for running WordPress with separate Nginx and PHP-FPM containers, optimized for deployment via Coolify.
To use this configuration, please fork this repository. Do not use it directly if you intend to make customizations to the Dockerfile, Nginx configuration, or PHP extensions.
This setup is provided as-is and should be considered experimental. While it aims to follow best practices, thorough testing in your specific environment is recommended before production use. You are free to use it in production if you deem it suitable for your needs, but do so at your own risk.
