Wordpress-HHVM-Docker

Docker Implementation of Wordpress on HHVM

Wordpress-HHVM-Docker is a docker compose project for WordPress. It supports both HHVM and PHP7. For now it only supports one at the time. In the future will also support HHVM and PHP-FPM as backup when HHVM fails. MySQL is the only supported database for now. This project only supports NGINX and will not support Apache in the future.

Installation guide

• First you have to download Docker Toolbox if you haven't already.
• Download or Clone this project.
• Download WordPress, copy it inside the folder and rename it to app.
• Navigate with terminal inside docker folder.
• docker-compose up -d nginx - It builds docker containers using docker-compose.yml as its configuration
• docker-machine ip default - To see the IP of the VM machine that this project runs on
• Open your browser to that IP and you will see the WordPress installation guide.
• Don't forget to change the WP configuration to
  • databaseName -> 'databasename'
  • databaseUser -> 'username'
  • databasePassword -> 'secret'

Note: Also the host on WP configuration should be the IP of the machine (docker-machine ip default)

Things to improve in the future:

• Make the host dynamic not with hardcoded IP
• Make HHVM as primary and PHP-FPM as fallback (optional option)
• Add more databases
• Separate WordPress folder from upload, plugins, themes folders
• Create a workflow for dev to production deployment
