Docker Compose LEMP Stack

This repository contains docker-compose configuration to start a LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP) + wordpress + phpmyadmin stack.

Configuration

The Nginx configuration can be found in nginx/default.conf.

You can also set the following environment variables, for example in the included .env file:

Key	Description
APP_NAME	The name used when creating a container.
MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD	The mariaDB root password used when creating the container.
MARIADB_DATABASE	Name of the database used by Wordpress.
MARIADB_USER	Used by Wordpress.
MARIADB_PASSWORD	Used by Wordpress.

Usage

Clone this repository.

Clone this repository with the following command: git clone https://github.com/bernd32/lemp-wp-phpmyadmin-docker.git.

Start the server.

Start the server using the following command inside the directory you just cloned: docker-compose up. Docker will now build your containers. Once the process is complete, you can access your WordPress installation at http://localhost:8082 and your phpMyAdmin at http://localhost:8084 and wordpress at http://localhost:8086.

Entering the containers

You can use the following command to enter a container:

Where {CONTAINER_NAME} is one of:

docker exec -ti {CONTAINER_NAME} /bin/bash

• {APP_NAME}-php
• {APP_NAME}-nginx
• {APP_NAME}-mariadb

Setup secure connections (optional):

If you want to set up SSL for secure connections (HTTPS), you will need to modify your Nginx configuration and possibly use Certbot for a free Let's Encrypt certificate or add your own certificate details.
