WordPress + Nginx + MariaDB Stack

A production-ready "Quick Start" stack featuring WordPress running via PHP-FPM and Nginx as a reverse proxy.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://git.suricatingss.xyz/suricata/docker-wp-quickstart
cd docker-wp-quickstart

2. Setup Environment Variables

This project uses a base + override system for environment variables.

# Create your local env file from the example
cp .env.example .env

Open .env and update your passwords. The docker-compose.yaml is configured to load .env.example first for defaults and .env second for your specific overrides.

3. Launch the Stack

docker compose up -d

4. Access your site

Visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser to complete the WordPress installation.
