Start Wordpress with Docker

Since personal development is complete and there is nothing left to do, I decided to try to solve this issue I want to automatically upload an eye-catching image when publishing an article #1.

So I tried to access the development environment, but since I changed my computer, I realized that I had to install Local - Local WordPress development made simple.

However, for some reason, I was really reluctant to do so, so I decided to build an environment with Docker.

Start Worspress with Docker

Quickstart: Compose and WordPress

The documentation was well-prepared, so all you had to do was follow it.

First, generate the docker-compose.yml file.

services:
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    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:
      - "8000:80"
    restart: always
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
volumes:
  db_data:

and execute it with docker-compose up -d.

Then, the following error occurred.

/c/dev/wordpress
$ docker-compose up -d

no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries

The content of the error is

This is because the Docker image you are using does not support linux/arm64/v8.

That seems to be the case.

 - image: mysql:5.7
 +  image: mysql:8.0

mysql:5.7 is arm64 There isn’t enough support for mysql:8.0, so try CODE_0.

$ docker-compose up -d

I passed safely.

You can open it by going to http://localhost:8000.

I’ll start it soon.

I was told that docker-compose.yml does not need to include the version, so I made a correction.

Apparently docker-compose.yml is also deprecated.

Is that docker-compose.yaml correct?
