If you're experiencing issues with Docker or connecting TO Docker, I would recommend make sure you're using Docker Desktop v4.26.1 - that seems to be the most stable version on my machine compared to v4.28+
Your presentation is concised, clear and so useful for beginner like I am. Thank you very much. Would like to encourage you to continue doing. Thank you very very very much from Bangkok, Thailand. 👍
Thank you. Top notch content! After spending so much time and effort trying to find a good docker wordpress resource, finally found one which explains the basics and is easy to follow. It is also good to see that Docker Desktop being used. I didn't get much docker content which makes use of that.
Thank you so much for letting me know and I'm happy to hear that everything worked out for you. Curious...so you mean everything you've seen is just using Docker command line?
Great tutorial. Thanks. One piece of feedback - you do great job explaining what to do but a less good job explaining why you do it. There are a lot of commands used in the docker compose file that it would help to understand what they do and why they are needed.
thank you so much! And yes, I can see where you're coming from with that. I'm trying not to get bogged down into minutae, but I can't stay too high level either. Appreciate the comment!
I think the video is about running Wordpress on docker, and not about Docker. I don't mean to sound harsh, but that's it. If you are interested in Docker, there are resources online. Even their docs are decent so you could take a look.
One question. I have several Wordpress website that I am working. If I wanted to setup a second Wordpress site what would I need to change? I assume I create a new folder with duplicate yml and env files. I also guess I need to change port 8080 to something else like 8081. What else would I need to change?
If you wanted to keep a single database per wordpress site (which I imagine would be easiest?) then yeah a different folder with the same setup would probably work ok. If you want to run them all concurrently, then yes you'd have to change the external port value from 8080 to anything else. Good luck!
This is a great tutorial - clear and concise. But i have a question cos I'm new to development. How do I deploy from docker to live environment? Just an overview of how it works will suffice. Thank you.
hey it would be pleasure if you could answer my question, so basically ive created an automated wordpress test using selenium(with gherkin) wanted us how can i implement this into docker, i wanted to make im still able to automate
hey @wazoowebbytes thanks for this...few questions, (1) you might need to edit the .htaccess file right sometimes, how do you manage it, (2) any videos that you have made on going from this docker setup to production ? (3) in site health there are some errors on REST API and loopback request, did you face it too ?
yeah - I've been wanting to do a followup to this video for quite a while based on lots of great feedback like yours. This video answered a few questions, but seemed to create a few more that need addressing. :)
Wow, excellent explanation. Just one thing, IMO I dont think its good to optimize to use wp-content folder only, because in development time editor will not suggest wp functions properly if we dont have wp-admin and wp-includes folder in our editor (I use VSCode). Whats your thoughts about that?
yeah that's a really good point. When I set out to setup this experiment, I was approaching it from an angle where you might be working on 10 wordpress sites. So I would only want to commit to git the actual different data between each of the 10 vs. also committing 10 copies of the same wp-admin and wp-includes. But maybe I'm wrong to think this way? Good points to think about, appreciate the feedback!!
it took me a hot minute since this is the first time i am doing this. but, i got it working at the end. my .env wasn't saved in the folder 😅 thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you! What you will use now to have hot reload feature for your development setup? Browser Sync? Or something more efficient or maybe docker have something to offer in this matter? I just would like to see a real changes to css and php files. I'm currently using flywheel and Browser sync but tried docker fallowing your video and all works beautifully. I just need to get hot reload working. Many thanks for any hints... Great video I was waiting for it for a long time!
oh nice! Thanks so much. Yeah that's interesting...I agree that there's a piece missing that might be served by some kind of Node tooling to watch for file changes and reload. Good things for me to think about!
@@wazoowebbytes Thanks. Is there any way of creating this development environment without creating WordPress from scratch? I have an existing websites that I develop so is there any way I can move them to some local folder and hook docker to this existing wp installation?
yeah - I think I know what I left out - at the end of the wp-content volume line in your docker-compose.yml add a ":rw" (for read-write). Hopefully that helps you out!
@@wazoowebbytes thanks for you reply i tried - ./wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content:rw but still it's locked and i just able to edit it with sudo command
I have a question, I want to to set the WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE with " define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'staging' ); " but can't get it to work. I am adding it to my dockerfile as WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA: define('WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE','staging'); then deleting all the files in the folder and the docker objects but it does not seem to pick it up.@@wazoowebbytes
hey - thanks a lot! Hmm pretty much anything you don't want copied from your project folder into the Docker container. So things like the ".git" folder, or "log" folders, etc.
Excellent tutorial, thank you. One issue I am having is I am not able to sign in to phpMyAdmin with wp_user and wp_password. Any thoughts what I did wrong?
Thanks so much! Hmm maybe double check caps lock (I know...but I had to mention it), and the credentials you're defining in the .env file. So I'm assuming that you have the correct port for phpMyAdmin, you just can't login?
welcome to the Docker party! That's a great question / observation. The way this docker compose file is structured in the video, all the Wordpress files will just remain within the docker container, so you won't actually see anything "new" show up in VS Code. I'm planning a followup video for some actual WP development work. Thanks for leaving a comment and hope that helps!
a few more steps, but that you only have to do once. Then you can run this Docker image wherever you want. You don't need to litter up your server with all the bits you need just to get WP up and running - just a single Docker command. It can save you a ton of time if you're juggling a few WP sites using different versions.
I have this issue with cood when I try to run it with cmd, it returns: service.volumes must be a mapping, and service.networks must be a mapping! And my code is same copy of code in video given. Can anybody give some instructions?
sorry for the late reply! Are you still having an issue with this? I was gonna suggest that maybe to double check your spacing in the .yml file? YAML is really picky about tabs
running [docker compose up] returned a no configuration file provided: not found error in terminal. I'm probably doing something wrong here. Not sure what. Mine isn't a fresh install pre se, but I have removed all previous containers and no old containers are running. Looking for some directions.
@@wazoowebbytes I think so. I created the file in the working directory with VS code. then executed from the zsh terminal in vs code. The first time around it worked but I was unable to configure the ngnix conf file. So started over from scratch and now the compose doesn't work anymore.
hey! When you download the image in Docker, it will be created with its own internal file structure that will have all of WP's files within it. Hope that made some sense.
I think I need to create a followup video here - the actual plugin / theme development wasn't as straight forward as I hoped using this setup. Thanks for asking about it!
Hey. When I try to run the docker compose up command, I get this error: validating [path-to-file]: services.wordpress must be a mapping. How can I fix this ?
Can anybody help me? Win10 I use docker compose up -d and on localhost:8080 i Can install WP but when I drop existing database and import my database from file I have "This site is unreachableThe localhost server rejected the connection." so I use docker compose down and delete the volume in docker desktop and try again use docker compose up -d but still: "This site is unreachableThe localhost server rejected the connection." This is no sense for me Why this happened? I assume that this not working due to import new database but when I use docker compose down and manually delete the volumine in docker desktop I will be able to running clean docker containers, and it should behave as it did the first time (WordPress installation)
Does not work for me either. I have get an error when I want to reach the localhost:8080: "Error establishing a database connection". In console I have an error: "You need to specify one of MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD, MARIADB_ALLOW_EMPTY_ROOT_PASSWORD and MARIADB_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD"
do you happen to know the version number of the Docker desktop app you're using by any chance? I've had a lot of difficulty with anything newer than v4.26.1
strange. Every once in a while when weird things happen, I just end up needing to reboot. Sometimes things seem to get "stuck" in Docker-land...at least, that's been my experience.
Not working: when calling localhost:8080 in browser I get error establishing a database connection. Seems I set everything like your tutorial. containers are there and running, message in console look also the same. But it's not working. Seems you missed some information.
hmm sorry to hear it's not working for you. I re-ran a fresh setup and everything came up ok. All you should need is a .env and docker-compose.yml files. Hope that helps!
I have the exact same issue. Likely related to the failure of the phpmyadmin container. No idea how to fix that. I've verified to the best of my ability to make 100% sure the .yml file is exactly like described in the video. Same results on three different boxes (2 Mint, one 64-bit raspberry pi bullseye) Would love to figure this out...
@@fatbikejamie I have the same problem, I checking it, but I dunno whether the problem is about docker. My Coworker told me that I need a local domain. I'll try to seek a little bit more.
could be a few things there. Are you sure you have the Docker desktop app running? If it running, maybe double check in task manager that there's only one instance of Docker. Perhaps there's a previous stuck instance of the app running in the background...?
I guess I need a beginner's guide to this video. Incredibly frustrating. Having copied every line and double checking it, getting many errors when doing 'docker compose up' command... services.network must be a mapping services.ports must be a mapping and several others. Is this guide not for Windows' install of Docker Desktop?
oh no! I'm sorry to hear it. Yes, I recorded this on Windows, but Docker is definitely multi-platform. I'll rerun this on the latest version of Docker, as it is possible there's been a breaking change somewhere...so sorry to hear of your frustration!
I use both. They are very similar. However when running the same site on both systems I found LocalWp to have a few (solvable) problems. However the Docker version that followed Mr Bytes installation instructions installed and ran perfectly.
Depending on your system, it could just be the fact that it's running in Docker - while Docker's super handy for setting up environments, it's still a virtual container that uses your system resources
hahah yeah - true. You never know with RUclips - technically if you just come to the video, and grab the gist -- it's even less then 5 minutes. Good point!
in my case, my local dir is /var/www/wp-docker, but after pulling files using docker compose up, files are pulled, but no file is copied to my local dir. why is that?
If I understand you correctly, then I think all of the files are showing up in the actual Docker container vs. your local local. Through the Docker desktop, you can navigate into the file structure of your container -- so it *should* be visible there

whats the difference of this wp on docker vs just installing the wp on local pc, this seems to have many more steps too
a few more steps, but that you only have to do once. Then you can run this Docker image wherever you want.

Why do you lie that settng up XAMP is hard and complex?
I don't think it's a lie - IMHO. It's time consuming and prone to lots of troubleshooting steps that are bypassed via trying out the Docker approach.
Works like charm . 1010101. Thanks!
heeh awesome - thanks so much, and glad it helped!
in my case, my local dir is /var/www/wp-docker, but after pulling files using docker compose up, files are pulled, but no file is copied to my local dir.
why is that?
If I understand you correctly, then I think all of the files are showing up in the actual Docker container vs. your local local. Through the Docker desktop, you can navigate into the file structure of your container -- so it *should* be visible there
