Wordpress Blog Scaffold

To install wordpress on Docker:

1. build wordpress docker image:

docker build -t msmtp.ca.wordpress .

It will build wordpress image with CA certificates and send mail command.

If you have any CA certificates that need to be installed copy then to ./ca directory.

2. Run docker compose:

docker-compose up -d

3. After this finshes, access the server from the browser and install wordpress.

Notes

• If you want to access wordpress like other sites change the port in docker-compose.yml to 80:80
• If you run this on OpenStack you need to expose port 80 for your machine
• With open stack is best if you mount volume and put all files there, so you don't loose them when machine will restart (hopefully)
• Remember to set permission to msmtprc so apache user www-data can access it, otherwise you will not be able to send emails from php.

sudo chown www-data:www-data msmtprc

If that give you error (e.g. if your system don't have that user) you can run:

docker ps

it will return list of docker images you get the container id of msmtp.ca.wordpress image and run:

docker exec -it <ID> bash
chown ww-data:www-data /etc/msmtprc

This will change the ownership inside container. It was needed on Fedora that had user apache and not www-data like Ubuntu.

NOTE

You will not be able to send emails if you run this localy since most email servers check reverse DNS to check the source of the email.
