How to dockerize apache php fpm for wordpress

Seems like this tutorial for basic Apache with php-fpm which I followed works fine.

I’m having some hard time on how I can build same using docker container running with basic wordpress, lots of tags seems to be confusing on which one to use. I already tried downloading docker images like wordpress:6.3.1-php8.2-apache but still no idea on how to link it on a separate running container wordpress:6.3.1-php8.2-fpm

    It sounds like you’re trying to set up a Docker environment with WordPress using Apache and php-fpm. Docker Compose can help you manage this by allowing you to define multiple containers and their configurations in a single YAML file. Here’s a basic setup for WordPress with Apache and php-fpm:

    Create a Docker Compose file (docker-compose.yml):

        version: '3.8'
services:
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: your_root_password
      MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
      MYSQL_USER: wordpress
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: your_db_password

  wordpress:
    image: wordpress:6.3.1-php8.2-apache
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
    volumes:
      - ./wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: your_db_password

  php-fpm:
    image: wordpress:6.3.1-php8.2-fpm
    volumes:
      - ./wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
    depends_on:
      - db

    In this setup:

    1. db uses the MySQL 5.7 image and sets up a database for WordPress.
    2. wordpress uses the Apache-based WordPress image, connects to the
      database, and maps port 8000 on your host to port 80 in the
      container.
    3. php-fpm uses the php-fpm version of the WordPress image. It
      doesn’t expose any ports since Apache will be handling the web
      requests.

    Create a directory for your WordPress files:

    1. Create a directory named wp-content in the same directory as your
      docker-compose.yml file. This will be used to persistently store
      your WordPress files.

    2. Start the Docker containers:
      Run the following command in the directory where your
      docker-compose.yml file is located:

      docker-compose up -d

    This will pull the necessary images and start the containers in the background.

    1. Access your WordPress site: Open your web browser and go to
      http://localhost:8000. You should see the WordPress setup page.

    This setup should give you a working WordPress site with Apache and php-fpm. The wp-content directory will be mounted inside both the Apache and php-fpm containers, allowing them to share the same files.

    Please replace your_root_password and your_db_password with actual secure passwords. Also, remember to adjust version numbers or image names if they have changed

    If you are using Apache with the mod_php module, switching to php-fpm would require some changes in your server configuration. Here are the steps to switch from mod_php to php-fpm

    1. Install php-fpm:
    Make sure you have php-fpm installed on your system. You can typically install it using your package manager (e.g., apt, yum, etc.):

    sudo apt-get install php-fpm

    2. Configure php-fpm
    Edit the php-fpm configuration file. The location may vary depending on your system. Common paths include /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php-fpm.conf or /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf (replace 7.4 with your PHP version).

    Ensure that the listen parameter in the http://www.conf file is set correctly:

    listen = /var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock

listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data

    3. Configure Apache
    Disable the mod_php module and enable the proxy_fcgi module:

    sudo a2dismod php7.4
sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi

    Create a new Apache virtual host configuration or edit an existing one to use php-fpm. Here is an example of what it might look like:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_domain.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    
    <Directory /var/www/html>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php(/.*)?)$ unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/var/www/html/

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

    Replace your_domain.com and /var/www/html with your actual domain and document root.

    4. Restart services

    sudo systemctl restart apache2
sudo systemctl restart php7.4-fpm

    Verify

    Check phpinfo() again to ensure that the Server API now shows FPM/FastCGI. You may also want to create a simple PHP file containing to view the details.
