WordPress is a free and open source blogging software and content management system based on PHP and MySQL. WordPress has a plugin architecture and template system. As of April 2018, over 30.6% of the top 10 million websites use WordPress. WordPress is the most popular website content management system. About 43% of the world’s websites are built using WordPress.

We will use docker to deploy wordpress.

Start DB

First we need to start a database, in this case MySQL.

docker run -d --name mysql -v /data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456 -p 3306:3306 mysql

Start WordPress

Next we start launching WordPress.

docker run -d --name wordpress -v /data/wordpress:/var/www/html -e WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=mysql -e WORDPRESS_DB_USER=root -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=123456 -e WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=wordpress -p 8080:80 --link mysql:mysql wordpress

Start Nginx

Finally, we use Nginx for reverse proxy.

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name nginx -v /data/nginx:/etc/nginx nginx

Note that before starting Nginx, we need to prepare the reverse proxy configuration file required by Nginx in advance.

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name nginx nginx && sleep 10 && docker cp nginx:/etc/nginx /data

The following is the content of the Nginx main configuration file and vhost configuration file.

  ##If you have a lot of static files to serve through Nginx then caching of the files' metadata (not the actual files' contents) can save some latency.
