## 🏔️ What is Alpine Linux?
Alpine Linux is a Linux distribution built around musl libc and BusyBox. The image is only 5 MB in size and has access to a package repository that is much more complete than other BusyBox based images. This makes Alpine Linux a great image base for utilities and even production applications. Read more about Alpine Linux here and you can see how their mantra fits in right at home with Container images.
## What is Wordpress?
WordPress is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek speak, it's probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today.
## ✨ Features
* Minimal size only, minimal layers
* Memory usage is minimal on a simple install.
## 🏗️ Architectures
* ```:amd64```, ```:x86_64``` - 64 bit Intel/AMD (x86_64/amd64)
* ```:arm64v8```, ```:aarch64``` - 64 bit ARM (ARMv8/aarch64)
* ```:arm32v7```, ```:armhf``` - 32 bit ARM (ARMv7/armhf)
#### 📝 PLEASE CHECK TAGS BELOW FOR SUPPORTED ARCHITECTURES, THE ABOVE IS A LIST OF EXPLANATION
## 🏷️ Tags
* ```:latest``` latest branch based (Automatic Architecture Selection)
* ```:amd64```, ```:x86_64``` amd64 based on latest tag but amd64 architecture
* ```:aarch64```, ```:arm64v8``` Armv8 based on latest tag but arm64 architecture

## 🚀 How to use this image
## Creating an instance
Make sure you create the folder on the host before starting the container and obtain the correct permissions.
```
mkdir -p /data/{domain}/html
docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST={domain}.com,www.{domain}.com -v /data/{domain}/html:/usr/html -p 80:80 yobasystems/alpine-php-wordpress
E.G
mkdir -p /data/yobasystems/html
docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=yobasystems.co.uk,www.yobasystems.co.uk -v /data/yobasystems/html:/usr/html -p 80:80 yobasystems/alpine-php-wordpress
```
The following user and group id are used, the files should be set to this:
User ID:
Group ID:
```
chown -R 100:101 /data/{domain}/html
E.G
chown -R 100:101 /data/yobasystems/html
```
Populate /data/{domain}/html with your WP files.
The following user and group id are used, the files should be set to this:
User ID:
Group ID:
```
chown -R 100:101 /data/{domain}/html
```
### WP-CLI
This image now includes WP-CLI wpcli.org baked in... Its best to `su nginx` before executing anything or else you can potentially compromise your host.
```
docker exec -it bash
su nginx
cd /usr/html
wp-cli core download --locale=en_GB
```
### Redis Cache
Edit the wp-config.php file and include the line;
```
define('WP_REDIS_HOST', 'redis');
```
The next thing is to install the plugin [Redis Object Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redis-cache/)
### SSL behind a proxy
If using SSL and running behind a proxy like HAproxy then the following needs to be added to the wp-config.php file (to stop infinite redirect);
```
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false)
$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
```
### Upload limit
The upload limit is 128 Megabytes.
### Change php.ini value
modify files/php-fpm.conf
To modify php.ini variable, simply edit php-fpm.ini and add php_flag[variable] = value.
```
php_flag[display_errors] = on
```
