tampamonitor

WordPress theme and maps for tampamonitor.com

Usage

This directory may be added to wp-content/themes and activated in the admin. For local development and testing, see below

Installation

The project is self-contained to allow you to spin up a local development enviornment, retaining your work and keeping a persistent database until no-longer needed.

First you will need to install Docker for Mac. If you are new to using Docker, we recommend getting familiar with their Docker for Mac [documentation] basics. Worry not, to get up and running you need a couple of basic commands provided here.

You'll also want to make sure Node is installed

Docker

Configuration

Edit the .env file to change the default IP address, MySQL root password and WordPress database name if necessary.

Installation

Open a terminal and cd to the folder in which docker-compose.yml is saved and run:

docker-compose up

This creates two new folders next to your docker-compose.yml file.

• wp-data – used to store and restore database dumps
• wp-app – the location of your WordPress application

The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the WordPress installation with the configured IP in the browser address. By default http://127.0.0.1.

For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.

sudo nano /etc/hosts

and then add 127.0.0.1 tampamonitor.local to the end of the file where tampamonitor is the local project directory you are working on. You can change the URL in the database or add to the wp-app/wp-config.php

define('WP_HOME','http://tampamonitor.local');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://tampamonitor.local');

Starting containers

You can start the containers with the up command in daemon mode (by adding -d as an argument) or by using the start command:

docker-compose start

Stopping containers

docker-compose stop

Removing containers

To stop and remove all the containers use thedown command:

docker-compose down

Use -v if you need to remove the database volume which is used to persist the database:

docker-compose down -v

WP CLI

The docker compose configuration also provides a service for using the WordPress CLI.

Sample command to install WordPress:

docker-compose run --rm wpcli core install --url=http://localhost --title=test --admin_user=admin --admin_email=test@example.com

Or to list installed plugins:

docker-compose run --rm wpcli plugin list

For an easier usage you may consider adding an alias for the CLI:

alias wp="docker-compose run --rm wpcli"

This way you can use the CLI command above as follows:

wp plugin list

phpMyAdmin

You can also visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to access phpMyAdmin after starting the containers.

The default username is root, and the password is the same as supplied in the .env file.

Development

To install PHP Codesniffer and WordPress Coding Standards run composer install.

For PostCSS pre-processing, npm i to install dependencies and npm start or npm build. Start will watch for changes and rebuild and minify style.css, build is a one off run of.
