Test

I want to start a blog to note down some development stuff I do, therefore I want to test, if WordPress might be a good choice to quickly and easily setup an own blog.

Testing WordPress is pretty easy if you can use Docker.
There is a good documentation how you can do this.
In short: Only create one docker-compose file and start it up.

cd my_wordpress
nano docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d &

version: '3.3'

services:
   db:
     image: mysql:5.7
     volumes:
       - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
     restart: always
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
       MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
       MYSQL_USER: wordpress
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress

   wordpress:
     depends_on:
       - db
     image: wordpress:latest
     ports:
       - "8000:80"
     restart: always
     environment:
       WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
       WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
volumes:
    db_data: {}

Just open http://localhost:8000 to create a user and start testing WordPress.

I tried the Code Syntax Block Plugin first, but then I was more satisfied with the CodeMirror Blocks Plugin.

Installation

Create sub-domain ingo.kaulbach.de, install WordPress with CodeMirror Blocks Plugin, Sample Content deleted. Done 🙂

As last part of installation I added a "K" graphic from Icons8 as favicon.
