Using Wordpress with SSL enabled integrated with NGINX proxy and autorenew LetsEncrypt certificates

This docker-compose should be used with the NGINX Proxy as of sample here:

https://github.com/evertramos/docker-compose-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion

Usage

After everything is settle, and you have your three containers running (proxy, generator and letsencrypt) you do the following:

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/evertramos/wordpress-docker-letsencrypt.git

Or just copy the content of docker-compose.yml and the Dockerfile, as of below:

version: '3'

services:
   db:
     container_name: db
     image: mariadb:latest
     restart: unless-stopped
     volumes:
        - /path/to/your/data/db:/var/lib/mysql
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root_password
       MYSQL_DATABASE: database_name
       MYSQL_USER: user_name
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: user_password

   wordpress:
     depends_on:
       - db
     container_name: wordpress
     build:
       context: ./
     restart: unless-stopped
     expose:
           - "443"
     volumes:
       - /path/to/your/data/wordpress:/var/www/html
       - /path/to/your/data/wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content
     environment:
       WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
       WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
       WORDPRESS_DB_USER: user_name
       WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: user_password
       WORDPRESS_TABLE_PREFIX: wp_
       VIRTUAL_HOST: domain.com, www.domain.com
       VIRTUAL_PROTO: https
       VIRTUAL_PORT: 443
       LETSENCRYPT_HOST: domain.com, www.domain.com
       LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: [email protected]

# Dockerfile with SSL activated

FROM wordpress

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y  --no-install-recommends ssl-cert && \
    rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* && \
    a2enmod ssl && \
    a2ensite default-ssl

EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443

2. Change the file docker-compose.yml with you own settings:

2.1. Use a specific network (optional)

In order to use an specific network add the following lines at the end of your file:

networks:
    default:
       external:
         name: webproxy

Must be the same network used by your nginx services (proxy, generator and letsencrypt)

2.2. Change the configuration path where you will locate the nginx files

    volumes:
      - /CHANGE/HERE/db:/var/lib/mysql

    volumes:
      - /CHANGE/HERE/wordpress:/var/www/html
      - /CHANGE/HERE/wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content

2.3. Set your domain name and email

       VIRTUAL_HOST: YOUR_DOCMAIN.com, www.YOUR_DOCMAIN.com
       LETSENCRYPT_HOST: YOUR_DOCMAIN.com, www.YOUR_DOCMAIN.com
       LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: YOUR_EMAIL@YOUR_DOCMAIN.com

3. Start your project

docker-compose up -d

Be patinet - when you first run a container to get new certificates, it may take a few minuts in order to get everything up and running, my own case, took almos 4 minutes to get LetsEncyrpt settled and proxy ready to go.
