11 Advanced Docker-Compose

In this task, we are going to look at a more advanced Multi container Wordpress app. Note we have multiple docker-comose files, and therefore we need to point to the .wp docker-compose file.

• Open docker-compose.wp.yml

• Go thru the file in class, and talk about the following :

  • Multiple containers
  • Env variables
  • Links between containers
  • Volumes
  • Depends on
  • restart policy

• To start the container run

docker-compose -f docker-compose.wp.yml up

• Look at the images get pulled, and the install process runs.
• Refresh the browser tab and run thru the setup guide.
• See you new have a full Wordpress site, with seperate Web and DB instances.
• Press ctrl + c to stop the container.
