This deployment:

• Respond with dynamic data by running code
• Automatically scale to zero with no traffic
• Boot from cold in under a second
• Are built reproducibly from Dockerfile

Example deployment of WordPress backed by a SQLite database.

There is an example sqlite database in the data directory, with a single user (username: nowuser, password: demo_test_123) that can be used to create posts, etc.

Note that changes the sqlite database on a live deployment will only be temporary, as the changes will be lost once the deployment goes to sleep.

To make more permanent modifications to the sqlite database, you can start up this docker container locally, using a volume mount to the local data directory. For example:

docker build -t now-wordpress .
docker run --rm -v $PWD/data:/data -p 3000:3000 now-wordpress

After running this command, you can access the WordPress server by visiting http://localhost:3000 and visit the WP Admin page to write a blog post.

Once you're finished, the sqlite file in the local data directory will have been updated, and you can invoke now to create a new deployment with the changes embedded into the deployment image.
