In trying to setup a reusable, semi-automated docker-compose.yml file for WordPress theme development, I found a very helpful post on StackOverflow and implemented the docker-compose.yml that vstm provided.
The example works very well, and I had been using it to add wp-cli commands for adding plugins, changing options, and deleting pre-loaded themes and plugins.
But now, I'm getting nothing but permission errors and I have tried manually changing wp-cli to user: '33:33' as well as the original user:xfs
I started over from the example and the first problem I run into is adding an additional volume shared between the two for the theme I'm developing. My theme name is default so that volume name is correct.
Here's what I have so far:
version: "2.3"
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_NAME: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
WORDPRESS_TABLE_PREFIX: "wp_"
WORDPRESS_DEBUG: 1
# vstm: add shared volume
volumes:
- wp_data:/var/www/html
- ./default/:/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/default
wordpress-cli:
depends_on:
- db
- wordpress
image: wordpress:cli
# vstm: This is required to run wordpress-cli with the same
# user-id as wordpress. This way there are no permission problems
# when running the cli
user: xfs
# vstm: The sleep 10 is required so that the command is run after
# mysql is initialized. Depending on your machine this might take
# longer or it can go faster.
command: >
/bin/bash -c '
sleep 10;
wp core install --path="/var/www/html" --url="http://localhost:8000" --title="Local Wordpress By Docker" --admin_user=admin --admin_password=secret --admin_email=foo@bar.com;
wp plugin install classic-editor;
'
# vstm: add shared volume
volumes:
- wp_data:/var/www/html
- ./default/:/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/default
volumes:
db_data:
# vstm: add shared volume
wp_data:
Here's the output log from the wp-cli console in kitematic:
Warning: Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2019/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Success: WordPress installed successfully.
Installing Classic Editor (1.3)
Warning: Failed to create directory '/etc/X11/fs/.wp-cli/cache/': mkdir(): Permission denied.
Downloading installation package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/classic-editor.1.3.zip...

Everything was working perfectly on at least 5 sites and then I assume there was a change in docker recently and I updated and broke all of them. Any ideas how this can be remedied in the latest Docker?
