This Dockerfile installs WordPress 5x (with latest WP-CLI), nginx 1.16 and php-fpm 7.3 (ondemand PM) over Alpine Linux. Currently using it on multiple heavy load production sites without any problems.

Attached wp-config.php in this container is designed to use with configuration parameters as a environments variables, making its management lot easier.

nginx configuration has a lot of tweaks, and this container run a cron via system instead of WP cron because is not very reliable.

Currently image size is 152 MB, but the goal of this project is to slim it as possible.

If you want to get this docker image, just puill from the Docker registry

$ docker pull nidr0x/wordpress:latest

If you want to spin a running environment, you can do it vía docker-compose

$ docker-compose up

Please note: Attached docker-compose is focused on production environment, which is why it has Traefik with SSL via Letsencrypt.
