docker-nginx-wordpress-wsl2

Prerequisites

1. Working WSL 2 Ubuntu
2. Docker WSL 2
3. Self-signed SSL certificate and key for localhost

Install

1. Open a terminal using your WSL 2 Ubuntu distro and navigate to somewhere like ~/home/sites (make the directory if not present)
2. Run this git clone https://github.com/nirvanadev/docker-nginx-wordpress-wsl2.git
3. Then this cd docker-nginx-wordpress-wsl2 && touch .env
4. Now, open the .env file and add the following. Replace the values after the = with your own.

   MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_root_password
   MYSQL_USER=user_name
   MYSQL_PASSWORD=user_password
   

5. Generate a self-signed SSL certificate

   openssl req -x509 -days 365 -out localhost.crt -keyout localhost.key   -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256   -subj '/CN=localhost' -extensions EXT -config <( \
      printf "[dn]\nCN=localhost\n[req]\ndistinguished_name = dn\n[EXT]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:localhost\nkeyUsage=digitalSignature\nextendedKeyUsage=serverAuth")
   

NOTE: Steps 5,6,7 only need to be done once and whenever the certificate expires. You can copy the certificates into other clones of this repo after completing step 7 and it should work. 6. Copy your self-signed .crt and .key files to certs/ 7. Use IIS to add the certificate to the trusted authority 8. Finally, launch the container with docker-compose up -d

Notes

• The site will be available at https://localhost
• phpMyAdmin is available at https://localhost:8000 and will use the credentials set in the .env file.
• VSCode now has seamless integration with WSL 2 and docker
