docker mysql wordpress port doesn't connect - mysql

Question

I downloaded the mysql and wordpress images. Mysql ports are
3306 localhost:32781
33060 localhost:32780
Wordpress configuration is
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST 192.168.99.100:32774
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD are the same
I try to connect to wordpress with
http://192.168.99.100:32774/
I get the message
This site can’t be reached
How do I have to configure the ports of mysql and wordpress?

Answer 1

From what you can find on the docker configuration page, you should take this example and modify it to your needs.
There is the following docker-compose file that will launch a wordpress in a minute:
https://docs.docker.com/compose/wordpress/
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: {}
From that file you have various options like, using docker compose tool (https://docs.docker.com/compose), or if you have a swarm running you could use docker stack command(https://vsupalov.com/difference-docker-compose-and-docker-stack/) or you can divide the configuration of both elements and create separate Dockerfile's(the configuration of a Docker file differs from what you can see on docker-compose so take the information an create your own) and launch them separated, you should launch mysql first as wordpress depends on a bbdd running first.

Answer 2

The easiest way to implement this is using docker-compose. Here is an example:
version: '3.2'
services:
database:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- my_data:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root_password
MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
MYSQL_USER: wp_user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
wordpress:
depends_on:
- database
image: wordpress:php7.3-apache
ports:
- '8000:80'
restart: always
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: database:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wp_user
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: password
working_dir: /var/www/html
volumes:
my_data: {}
A few notes: the database doesn't mount any port on host because it doesn't need to. If you don't want to use docker-compose you can run docker run commands for this but then you have to create your own network for the containers and attach them to it.
Wordpress will be available on http://localhost:8000.
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST is the connection to the database and you won't be able to access that through http anyway.
Hope this helps you.
