Foolproof Portal Setup — WordPress

Use the docker-compose.yml:

YAML

version: "3"
services:

   db:
     image: mysql:8.0
     command:
      - --default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
      - --character-set-server=utf8mb4
      - --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci     
     volumes:
       - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
     restart: always
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
       MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
       MYSQL_USER: wordpress
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress

   wordpress:
     depends_on:
       - db
     image: wordpress:latest
     ports:
       - "2026:80"
     restart: always
     environment:
       WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
       WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
volumes:
  db_data:

Then just create the container with this command:

docker compose up -d

In my setup, I set the external access port to 2026. So you can go to public IP:2026 to start the website initialization.

Reverse proxy, domain binding, and all that... emmm.
