WP Single Container (WordPress + Nginx + Apache + phpMyAdmin + MySQL)

A Docker setup that runs WordPress, Nginx, Apache, PHP-FPM, phpMyAdmin, and MySQL inside a single container, with fixed resource limits:

• CPU: 1.0
• RAM: 1GB

1) Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Docker Desktop
• Docker Compose (docker compose)

Verify installation:

docker --version
docker compose version

2) Clone the project

git clone <REPO_URL>
cd <PROJECT_FOLDER>

3) Start the stack (build + run)

docker compose up -d --build

This command will:

• build the image,
• create/start the container,
• apply the 1 CPU + 1GB RAM limits from docker-compose.yml.

Where WordPress files are stored

WordPress files are written locally to:

• ./httpdocs

This means you can view/edit them directly from your computer.

4) Open in browser

WordPress installer

• http://localhost/wp-admin/install.php
• or http://localhost:8080/wp-admin/install.php

phpMyAdmin

• http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
• or http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/

5) MySQL credentials (default)

From docker-compose.yml:

• Root password: rootpass
• DB name: wordpress
• DB user: wpuser
• DB password: wppass

6) Useful commands

Check container status

docker compose ps

View logs

docker logs -f wordpress-container

Stop everything

docker compose down

Full reset

docker compose down -v

Notes:

• -v removes the MySQL volume.
• WordPress files under ./httpdocs are a bind mount, so delete them manually if you want a fully clean WordPress install.

7) Verify resource limits

docker inspect wordpress-container --format 'NanoCpus={{.HostConfig.NanoCpus}} Memory={{.HostConfig.Memory}} MemorySwap={{.HostConfig.MemorySwap}}'

Expected output:

• NanoCpus=1000000000 (1 CPU)
• Memory=1073741824 (1GB)
• MemorySwap=1073741824

8) Troubleshooting

"This site can’t be reached"

• Make sure the container is running:

docker compose ps

• If the container just restarted, wait 5–10 seconds and refresh.
• Try the explicit port as well: http://localhost:8080/...

I want a clean WordPress installation

docker compose down -v
rm -rf httpdocs/*
docker compose up -d --build

9) WooCommerce plugin included

This repository includes a custom WooCommerce plugin:

• ./plugins/wpck-woo-product-tag-cleaner

It is mounted automatically into WordPress at:

• /wp-content/plugins/wpck-woo-product-tag-cleaner

Activate it

1. Open WordPress admin.
2. Go to Plugins.
3. Activate WooCommerce Product Tag Cleaner.

What it adds

On Products list (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=product):

• A bulk action: Remove tags from selected products (works on selected rows only).
• A button: Remove all product tags (all products) (removes tags from every product).
