• Create new Apache configuration of new wordpress site in /apache/vhosts/wordpress.conf

• Docker Start : docker-compose up -d

  • The localhost will be available at: localhost:8080 (port can be changed in docker-compose.yml)  - The wordpress site will be created inside /www/ and availabe at : localhost:3000 (port can be changed in docker-compose.yml)
  • PHPMyadmin : localhost:8081 (port can be changed in docker-compose.yml)

• Usefuls Docker commands:

  • docker-compose up/down (Start/Stop docker env)
  • docker-compose rm -v (remove all running docker)
  • docker-compose ps (list all running docker)

Warning : Sometimes, an error like "Bind for 0.0.0.0:XX failed: port is already allocated" will show up while we running docker-compose up. That mean that the port has been taken and docker can't run container on it. Restarting docker will resolve this error
