Configuration File Copies from the Host (Manual Mode)
- Execute the copy command by accessing the running containers and copying the file contents directly from the terminal.
  1. Access the WordPress container:
```
docker exec -it wordpress bash
```
  1. Navigate to the PHP-FPM configuration directory:
```
cd /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/
```
  1. Display the configuration file content:
```
cat www.conf
```
  1. Copy the displayed content from the terminal using Ctrl + Shift + C
  2. Exit the container:
```
exit
```
  1. Then, on the host machine, create the directory path:
```
./srcs/requirements/wordpress/conf/
```
  1. Create a new www.conf file, paste the copied content using Ctrl + Shift + V, and save the file inside the directory above.
- Repeat the same process for the NGINX container:
  1. Access the Nginx container:
```
docker exec -it nginx bash
```
  1. Navigate to the NGINX configuration directory:
```
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
```
  1. Display the default configuration file:
```
cat default
```
  1. Copy the displayed content from the terminal using Ctrl + Shift + C.
  2. Exit the container:
```
exit
```
  1. Then, on the host machine, create the directory path:
```
./srcs/requirements/nginx/conf/
```
  1. Create a new nginx.conf file, paste the copied content using Ctrl + Shift + V, and save the file inside the directory above.
  👉🏼 The steps above will only work if the wordpress and nginx containers are running.
  - To check the names of the running containers for WordPress, execute the docker ps command in the terminal, and a list of containers will appear. In the NAMES section, you will see the names of the running containers.
  - If for some reason your containers started without a predefined name, a random name will be assigned to them. Below are tips on how to identify each container (in this case, for the tutorial):
    1. wordpress: the container where the COMMAND section is "tail -f /dev/null" will be the WordPress container.
    2. nginx: the container where the COMMAND section is "nginx -g daemon; " will be the NGINX container.
  - Pay attention to the php-fpm version, as it may change according to the installation made when creating the docker image with the Dockerfile: > - docker cp wordpress:/etc/php/version/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
  - Be mindful of the path where the <copy_file> will be stored; it should be considered starting from the /rootInception directory.
- After completing this step, you can ignore the Configuration File Copies from the Host (Automatic Mode) section and continue directly to the Customize NGINX Configuration step.
