wordpress (deployment / containers)

Location: deployment/containers/wordpress/

Two playbooks that deploy WordPress with a MySQL database in containers: one for Docker, one for Podman. They are nearly identical in purpose; choose the runtime you use.

What they do

  • Create a dedicated network (Docker or Podman).
  • Create volumes for WordPress files and MySQL data.
  • Start a MySQL 8.0 container (database).
  • Wait ~15 seconds for MySQL to be ready.
  • Start the WordPress container, connected to the DB and the same network.
  • Expose WordPress on port 8080 (host) → 80 (container) by default.

Files

File Purpose
wordpress-docker-deployment.yml Uses community.docker (docker_network, docker_volume, docker_container).
wordpress-podman-deployment.yml Uses containers.podman (podman_network, podman_volume, podman_container).
README.md In-repo notes on customising ports and credentials.

What to change before running

  1. Port – Default is 8080:80. Edit the ports / publish mapping if 8080 is in use or you want another port.

  2. Database and WordPress env – Replace example credentials in both playbooks so they match:

    WordPress container:

    • WORDPRESS_DB_HOST, WORDPRESS_DB_USER, WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD, WORDPRESS_DB_NAME

    MySQL container:

    • MYSQL_DATABASE, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD

    Use strong, unique values; keep DB and WordPress env in sync.

Requirements

  • Docker: community.docker collection; Docker daemon running.
  • Podman: containers.podman collection; Podman available.

How to run

Docker:

ansible-playbook -i localhost, deployment/containers/wordpress/wordpress-docker-deployment.yml

Podman:

ansible-playbook -i localhost, deployment/containers/wordpress/wordpress-podman-deployment.yml

Both playbooks target localhost with connection: local. They are not tested in this repo; run in a safe environment first.
