Wordpress Docker

This project sets up Wordpress inside a docker-compose stack to promote infra-as-code, consistency and portability.

It utilizes LetsEncrypt and Certbot to manage digital (SSL/TLS) certificates for the website.

Quick Set Up

• Replace all instances of 'mydomain.test' in all files with a real domain.
• Export relevant environment variables

export TF_VAR_DoToken=token
export WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=$(random password)
export MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=$(random password)

• Run terraform apply to set up the server
• Download a fresh copy of wordpress to the webroot directory on the host
• Copy this repo to the host
• Run docker-compose up -d to start the stack. Use docker-compose logs -f to monitor logs
• Get a certificate with:

certbot certonly -d mydomain.test --webroot -w /path/to/wordpress/webroot/

• Set up cert auto renewal with a crontab

certbot renew
docker restart wordpress_web_1
