                Setting up WordPress and MySQL on Windows 10 Home (Docker Toolbox)
              
          
Set up a docker-compose.yaml file (file content at the bottom of this page).


Also create a data/mysql folder in your project.


In order to set up a volume for MySQL in Docker Toolbox, we will need a VirtualBox Shared Folder, just like mentioned in Fixing Volumes in Docker Toolbox.
VirtualBox by default has a c/Users Shared Folder that we can use for this (as long as your project is within C:\Users. Verify that this shared folder is set up properly:


Add a new volume to the mydatabase service in the docker-compose.yaml for the database files. Because we are using docker-toolbox and VirtualBox, we need an absolute path, starting with //c/:


volumes:


//c/Users/your_username/projects/wordpress-docker-stack/data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
