A WordPress installation using Docker, Traefik & mkcert.

Presentation

This is a WordPress installation method using Docker, Traefik & mkcert for local usage. It allows you to install WordPress locally while having https access.

Requirements

On Manjaro Linux, you can install them with pacman.

sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose mkcert

Installation

  1. Clone the repo.
  2. You can delete .git, .gitignore, keepachangelog.hbs and package.json.
  3. Fill the dotenv files (at least DWP_DOMAIN_NAME)
  4. Generate a certificate with mkcert & save it in certs folder.
  5. Replace the certificate name in /traefik/ssl.yml.
  6. On Linux, use ACLs on /wp-content

Find the details below for the use of mkcert and the management of ACLs.

Mkcert

Once installed, create a new local CA:

mkcert -install

Then, generate a new certificate:

mkcert -cert-file ./certs/your-domain.tld.pem -key-file ./certs/your-domain.tld-key.pem your-domain.tld "*.your-domain.tld"

Consider replacing your-domain.tld.

ACLs

To keep write permissions while giving them to Apache, you must use ACLs. Otherwise you will be asked for FTP access to add plugins via the administration or to use the import for example.

sudo setfacl -Rm user:yourUsername:rwx wp-content
sudo setfacl -Rdm user:yourUsername:rwx wp-content

sudo setfacl -Rm user:http:rwx wp-content
sudo setfacl -Rdm user:http:rwx wp-content

Consider replacing yourUsername. On Manjaro, the Apache user is http, you may need to replace it on another distribution.

Usage

docker-compose up -d

Then, you can access:

  • WordPress at www.your-domain.tld
  • Traefik dashboard at traefik.your-domain.tld
  • PHPMyAdmin at pma.your-domain.tld

Disclaimer

I have not tested this method on Windows or Mac. The step regarding ACLs is probably different.

This method is for local use for development purposes. It should not be used in production.
