The way this is installed:
- You have a source controlled copy of all Wordpress core, plugins, themes and HTML/CSS/JS.
- All configuration is done via environment variables.
- All uploads are sent to S3.
- All emails are sent via SMTP.
- Installs are painless (via git push) and all data is stored outside of the container.
- When WordPress needs to be updated, it will be much easier with the items in source code control.
- After a WordPress hack - you can just restart the container.
All required environment variables are detailed below:
# MySQL connection.
octo config:set wordpress-container-name/MYSQL_DATABASE 'test_wordpress'
octo config:set wordpress-container-name/MYSQL_USERNAME 'test_wordpress'
octo config:set wordpress-container-name/MYSQL_PASSWORD 'password-goes-here'

wp server- simple instructions are here. - Startup the server inside the wordpress directory,
wp server- you should see some output that looks like this:

Should be a relatively hassle and hack free container.
