This docker-compose environment allows you to run a matrix of PHP, MySQL, WordPress and WooCommerce configurations, for example:

• Docker >= 1.8.3
• Docker Compose

See Docker.com for more information. You can install Docker directly from Docker installation page

1. Make a new project folder and clone (or download) the WooCommerce Development Docker repository:

$ mkdir my-plugin && cd my-plugin
$ git clone https://github.com/kilbot/WooCommerce-Dev-Docker.git ./docker

2. Populate your plugin files, either from an existing project or perhaps using a WordPress Plugin Boilerplate. Copy the .env and fixtures.yml files from the .docker directory.

$ cp .docker/.env.example .env
$ cp .docker/fixtures.example.yml fixtures.yml

At a minimum you should now have a my-plugin folder with the structure below:

my-plugin/
+-- .docker
+-- .env
+-- fixtures.yml
+-- index.php
+-- readme.txt

3. Start the containers (and watch container logs)

$ docker-compose -f .docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
$ docker-compose -f .docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f --tail=10

4. Go to http://localhost and log into WordPress with the following credentials:

user: admin
password: password

The first build may take some time to complete, if you can not access http://localhost try again after 5-10 minutes.

The .env file contains the default settings for the docker containers.

Dummy data is created using the fixtures.yml template.

$ docker-compose -f .docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

$ docker-compose -f .docker/docker-compose.yml logs -f --tail=10

$ docker-compose -f .docker/docker-compose.yml kill

$ docker ps

$ docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID or CONTAINER NAME> bash

$ docker system purge -fa
or
$ docker system prune -fa

$ rm -rf .docker/.db && rm -rf .docker/.html
