WordPress on Docker with Traefik + SSL + Adminer

I developed this project with one pourpose: setup local WordPress development scenario with some interesting things.

Getting started

The stack used is very common (and simple):

• Traefik as a Load Balancer and SSL termination
• Watchtower to detect if any linked container have a new image version available, then automatically updating and restarting.
• MariaDB as database server.
• WordPress (captain obvious).
• Adminer as a database management, but i prefer to use other tools like MySQL Workbench for management.
• Bytemark/smtp container as a simple mail server to allow SMTP Host available as "mail".
• WP-CLI to be able to fill sample content and autoinstall WP without doing any additional action.

Prerequisites

You will need Docker and docker-compose installed on your machine. Depending of your operating system, the installation are very different. I personally recommend Arch Linux, because AUR is awesome.

Install

Once you have checked the prerequisites, the first step is to clone the project with the next command:

git clone https://github.com/nidr0x/docker-wordpress-traefik-ssl-adminer.git

Next step, go inside the folder:

cd docker-wordpress-traefik-ssl-adminer 

If you want, you can customize some secrets and environment variables (like domains used) are stored in .env file. Also, Traefik configuration is available inside traefik/traefik.toml

Because the default PHP values are restrictive for a dev environment, you can put your own values inside php.ini file in the loaded Docker volume.

Finally, let the magic flow :-):

docker-compose up

And if you want to start without logs in silent mode:

docker-compose up -d
