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 &
<pre class="CodeMirror" data-setting='{"showPanel":true,"languageLabel":"file","fullScreenButton":true,"copyButton":true,"mode":"yaml","mime":"text/x-yaml","theme":"material","lineNumbers":false,"styleActiveLine":false,"lineWrapping":false,"readOnly":true,"fileName":"docker-compose.yml","language":"YAML","maxHeight":"400px","modeName":"yaml"}'>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.
