PHP + WordPress + MariaDB

WordPress is the most widely used content management system in the world: corporate sites, blogs, news portals, and stores, with a huge ecosystem of themes and plugins.

This Stack installs WordPress with MariaDB as the database.

Included services

In addition to the application, the Stack brings up MariaDB, an nginx that receives traffic on port 80, an automatic backups service, and the web file manager.

Getting started

Install the Stack and bring it up:

bash

docker-deploy-stack --stack php/wordpress-mariadb
cd /root/stack/php/wordpress-mariadb
docker compose up -d

This is a ready-to-use application: you don’t need to upload code. Themes, plugins, extensions and files you upload from its administration panel are stored in the Stack and are included in automatic backups.
