WordPress with Docker, MariaDB, and Nginx Proxy Manager

This setup uses Docker Compose to create a WordPress environment with a MariaDB database and Nginx Proxy Manager for easy HTTPS configuration.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repository-url>
   cd <repository-name>

2. Create an .env file:

   Create a .env file in the root of the project and set the following environment variables:

   MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_root_password
   MYSQL_DATABASE=your_database_name
   MYSQL_USER=your_database_user
   MYSQL_PASSWORD=your_database_password
   

   Replace the placeholders with your desired values.

3. Create uploads.ini file:

   • Create a file named uploads.ini in the root of your project to configure custom PHP upload settings. For example:

   file_uploads = On
   memory_limit = 128M
   upload_max_filesize = 100M
   post_max_size = 100M
   max_execution_time = 600

4. Start the containers:

   docker compose up -d

5. Configure Nginx Proxy Manager:

   • Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:81.
   • Log in with the default credentials:
     • Email: [email protected]
     • Password: changeme
   • Change your default email and password.
   • Go to Hosts -> Proxy Hosts.
   • Click Add Proxy Host.
   • Domain Names:
     • Development: Enter a domain name like your-site.local. You might need to add this to your /etc/hosts file pointing to 127.0.0.1.
     • Production: Enter your actual domain name.
   • Forward Hostname / IP: wordpress
   • Forward Port: 80
   • SSL Tab:
     • Development: You can choose "Request a new SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt" for a self-signed certificate or "None" to use HTTP.
     • Production: Choose "Request a new SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt".
     • Enable "Force SSL" and other security options as needed.
     • Enter your email address.
     • Click "Save."

6. Access WordPress:

   • Development: http://your-site.local (or https://your-site.local if you set up a self-signed certificate).
   • Production: https://your-domain.com

   You should now be able to access the WordPress installation wizard.

Optional:

• Tailwind CSS: https://tailwindcss.com/
• Shadcn UI: https://ui.shadcn.com/

Notes

• If you are using this setup for local development, you might need to add your-site.local (or your chosen domain name) to your computer's /etc/hosts file, pointing it to 127.0.0.1.
• For production, make sure your DNS records are configured to point your domain name to your server's IP address.
