Dockerized WordPress
What Is the Dockerized WordPress?
It's a boilerplate for a Dockerized WordPress environment with Nginx,
PHP-FPM, and MySQL. Everything you need to develop and
run a production-ready WordPress website, all inside
lightweight containers.
The setup is secured, optimized, easy to use, Git and CI/CD friendly.

Feature Overview
Build WordPress faster, safer, and reproducibly
The boilerplate comes with a practical set of defaults for local development and production-minded deployments.
Automated setup
One script to download core, configure wp-config.php, set timezone,
language, and permalinks.
See init.sh
Nginx + PHP-FPM
Hardened, performance-focused web stack for WordPress.
See nginx/default.conf.
Persistent data & uploads
Volumes keep your MySQL data and wp-content/uploads safe across container restarts.
phpMyAdmin included
Manage your database from the browser - handy for local dev and quick admin tasks.
Git-ready workflow
Keep the repo lean: track only your themes, plugins, and configuration - not WordPress core.
CI/CD friendly
Compose-driven services make automated tests and deployments straightforward in pipelines.
Fast logs & debugging
Stream all container logs in real time to diagnose issues quickly.
Fast development startup
Spin up a full WordPress environment in seconds with a single command.
Modern way of WP development
Containerized stack with versioned config and Git-tracked themes/plugins. Reproducible PHP/MySQL versions across machines, no host pollution. Option for clean CI/CD pipelines, automated tests and more.
