Demonstration Docker config for Wordpress on PHP-FPM behind Nginx

00_README.md

Proof of concept setup for Wordpress running under PHP-FPM with an Nginx frontend

Usage

Build a copy of this image:

git clone git://github.com/d9206eacb5a0ff5d6be0.git docker-nginx-fpm
cd docker-nginx-fpm
docker build -t nginx-fpm .

Launch an instance of wordpress:fpm just as you'd launch wordpress:

docker run -d --link some-mysql:mysql --name wordpress-fpm wordpress:fpm

Launch an instance of this image to front wordpress:fpm and serve static assets:

docker run -d --link wordpress-fpm:fpm --volumes-from wordpress-fpm -p 80:80 nginx-fpm
