I work with WordPress and now I try to create WP site with Docker. However, I already have folder called 'wp-content' (with my old content) and I have to put it into new one (which I have just created with docker-compose.yml). But I don't understand where docker stores all theses files (ex. wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes).
I have folder called wordpress-docker where I store my docker-compose.yml but it's empty (I thought that new folders will appear here).
Here's my docker-compose.yml:
version: "3.9"
services:
db:
image: mysql:8.0
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
wordpress:
depends_on:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
volumes:
- wordpress_data:/var/www/html
ports:
- "8000:80"
restart: always
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
volumes:
db_data: {}
wordpress_data: {}
Then you can manipulate all the files locally and find the same content/structure inside the container.
PS : I've got a right access issue : I can't maniuplate the folder locally, so I've forced the folder rights.
You can also change nothing and add this :
volumes:
- wordpress_data:/var/www/html
- ./wordpress_data:/var/www/html/wp-content
Your local folder wordpress_data
will 'point' to wp-content
inside the container which is empty by default.
