Features

Setup

Create a new project with:

Docker

Adjust the docker-compose.yml to your needs using a docker-compose.override.yml file (https://docs.docker.com/compose/extends/).

You can add a database dump using a dump.sql.gz or dump.sql file which will be imported on the first run. If a database dump is present, a new user with the following credentials will be automatically added:

⚠️ Remember to remove or change the credentials in a production environment!

Multisite subfolders can be be configured by setting the WORDPRESS_MULTISITE_PATHS environment variable to e.g. 2=blog2,3=blog3, resulting in the following URLs:

If nothing is set, the ID of the corresponding blog will be used as a path, resulting in the following URLs:

Start the Docker containers with

Plugins

ℹ️ Automatic updates for plugins, themes and major core versions are disabled by default. You can enable them by removing or commenting the corresponding module inside wp-content/mu-plugins/wordpress-boilerplate/wordpress-boilerplate.php.

If you uncommented sentry lines in docker-compose.yml install WP Sentry

Be careful when using plugins which depend on jQuery.

Gravity Forms for example will enqueue jquery once a form is embedded into a post or page.

In this case, you might include the form via an iFrame. You can use the gravity-forms-iframe plugin for easier integration.

Webfonts

It is recommended to use local webfonts and not from external CDN's like Google Fonts.

You can use google-webfonts-helper to download webfonts from Google Fonts.
