Accessing the Website

To access the WordPress website:

  • Public Site: https://<DOMAIN_NAME>
  • Login Portal: https://<DOMAIN_NAME>/wp-login.php
  • Administration Dashboard: https://<DOMAIN_NAME>/wp-admin/

Make sure to use https! some browsers will automaticlly fill in http.

Your browser will display a security warning on the first visit because the SSL certificate is self-signed.

Locating and Managing Credentials

You can checkout requirements/.env.example for a preview of the .env file, Although the setup wizard will guide you through the process of creating the .env file and secrets.

  • db_password.txt: Standard database user password.
  • db_root_password.txt: Database root administrator password.
  • wp_admin_password.txt: WordPress admin panel password.
  • wp_password.txt: Standard WordPress user password.

Verifying Service Health

To confirm all services are running and healthy:

  1. Run docker ps. You should see three containers (nginx, wordpress, mariadb) with an Up (healthy) status.
  2. You can checkout the aggregated logs via
docker compose -f srcs/compose.yaml logs -f

MariaDB

Some commands to verify the mariaDB service:

mariadb -u root -p # to login to the database as root
show databases;
use wordpress;
