Setup & Configuration
We need to install the service through Portainer and configure any necessary settings.
Preparation
There are some things we need to do in preparation to install this service.
Volumes
Persistent Data
This is where the service will store its own application data and ensures we can quickly update the service image.
Ensure your user has permissions to access the folder.
Environment
DB_USER
This is the username to be used for logging into the database.
For example: wordpress_admin
Passwords
Keep these securely stored in a password manager, such as VaultWarden.
DB_PASSWORD
This is the password that will be used for access to the database.
It is important to use secure, randomly generated password.
You can use a random alphanumeric string from a password manager, or open the terminal and run the command:
tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9!"#$%&'\''()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~' </dev/urandom | head -c 32; echoThis pulls a random string from the 'urandom' device, removes unwanted characters and trim it to an appropriate length.
Installation
The service can be installed through the Portainer web interface.
Learn about creating a new stack.
Docker Compose
Use the following code to install the service:
---
services:
db:
image: mariadb:10.6.4-focal
command: '--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password'
volumes:
- /srv/wordpress/db:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=
- MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress
- MYSQL_USER=${DB_USER}
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
expose:
- 3306
wordpress:
image: wordpress:latest
ports:
- 8080:80
restart: always
depends_on:
- db
volumes:
- /srv/wordpress/html:/var/www/html
environment:
- WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=db
- WORDPRESS_DB_USER=${DB_USER}
- WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
- WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=wordpress
Environment
Use the following environment to configure the service using the values prepared earlier:
# Database Configuration
DB_USER=wordpress_admin
# Passwords
# After the initial setup, the passwords should be saved elsewhere and stack should be re-deployed with these settings deleted.
# Database Passwords
DB_PASSWORD=Updating
Re-Deploy the Stack
This service has been optimized for running in Docker.
This allows you to re-deploy the stack through Portainer to download the latest updates.
