WordPress with Nomad

This sets up a blank WP blog, leveraging HinD (Hashistack-IN-Docker)

It deploys two containers in a single nomad job, one with nginx and wordpress, and a mariadb database container.

Startup help

To login from the website and do final setup, the easiest way is from https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/reset-your-password/#through-wp-cli

ssh into your main container (non DB) deployment container then:

wp user list
wp user update 1 --user_pass=$MARIADB_PASSWORD

Once you've updated the user password on the back-end, you should be able to login via the /wp-admin URL and update any WP version, plugins, themes, etc.

You can also upgrade WP on the backend via ssh into the main container via:

wp core update

• Also see the sql convenience shell function that should be loaded by default when popping into the running wordpress/nginx container. (see .bashrc)

Unit testing of the two containers used

• https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/wordpress-nginx
• https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/mariadb

Starting from scratch w/ a nomad deploy and two containers doing a "dance" to get each bootstrapped can sometimes be a pain. If they don't eventually start up, you may want to fire up 2 containers manually to get a proper setup, using passed in "Persistent Volumes" for the DB & config setup to persist.
