# WordPress with Docker

This page shows you how to deploy a sample [WordPress][wordpress] site using
[Docker][docker].

### Before you begin

[Follow these instructions][docker-install] to install runsc with Docker. This
document assumes that the runtime name chosen is `runsc`.

### Running WordPress

Now, let's deploy a WordPress site using Docker. WordPress site requires two
containers: web server in the frontend, MySQL database in the backend.

First, let's define a few environment variables that are shared between both
containers:

```bash
export MYSQL_PASSWORD=${YOUR_SECRET_PASSWORD_HERE?}
export MYSQL_DB=wordpress
export MYSQL_USER=wordpress
```

Next, let's start the database container running MySQL and wait until the
database is initialized:

```bash
docker run --runtime=runsc --name mysql -d \
  -e MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 \
  -e MYSQL_PASSWORD="${MYSQL_PASSWORD}" \
  -e MYSQL_DATABASE="${MYSQL_DB}" \
  -e MYSQL_USER="${MYSQL_USER}" \
  mysql:5.7

# Wait until this message appears in the log.
docker logs mysql |& grep 'port: 3306  MySQL Community Server (GPL)'
```

Once the database is running, you can start the WordPress frontend. We use the
`--link` option to connect the frontend to the database, and expose the
WordPress to port 8080 on the localhost.

```bash
docker run --runtime=runsc --name wordpress -d \
  --link mysql:mysql \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -e WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=mysql \
  -e WORDPRESS_DB_USER="${MYSQL_USER}" \
  -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD="${MYSQL_PASSWORD}" \
  -e WORDPRESS_DB_NAME="${MYSQL_DB}" \
  -e WORDPRESS_TABLE_PREFIX=wp_ \
  wordpress
```

Now, you can access the WordPress website pointing your favorite browser to
<http://localhost:8080>.

Congratulations! You have just deployed a WordPress site using Docker.
