WordPress Docker Container

Lightweight WordPress container with Nginx 1.10 & PHP-FPM 7.1 based on Alpine Linux.

WordPress version currently installed: 5.1.0

• Used in production for my own sites, making it stable, tested and up-to-date
• Optimized for 100 concurrent users
• Optimized to only use resources when there's traffic (by using PHP-FPM's ondemand PM)
• Best to be used with Amazon Cloudfront as SSL terminator and CDN
• Built on the lightweight Alpine Linux distribution
• Small Docker image size (+/-45MB)
• Uses PHP 7.1 for better performance, lower cpu usage & memory footprint
• Can safely be updated without loosing data
• Fully configurable because wp-config.php uses the environment variables you can pass as a argument to the container

Usage

See docker-compose.yml how to use it in your own environment.

docker-compose up

Or

docker run -d -p 80:80 -v /local/folder:/var/www/wp-content -e "DB_HOST=db" -e "DB_NAME=wordpress" -e "DB_USER=wp" -e "DB_PASSWORD=secret" trafex/wordpress
