Open multiple Wordpress projects in the docker - docker

Question

I am creating containers for all my projects, mostly in Wordpress, and I was wondering if for example I could upload several projects at the same time, because in this configuration that I use the docker, I have to disable one, in order to activate another. Example project1.local and project2.local, how could you do it that way?
docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
wordpress:
build: .
container_name: ${APP_NAME}-wordpress
restart: always
ports:
- 80:80
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: ${DB_HOST}
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: ${DB_USER}
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASS}
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: ${DB_NAME}
WORDPRESS_TABLE_PREFIX: ${DB_TABLE_PREFIX}
WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA: |
/* Direct FTP */
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
volumes:
- ./src:/var/www/html/wp-content:rw
- ./config/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php.ini
depends_on:
- db
db:
image: mariadb
container_name: ${APP_NAME}-db
volumes:
- './database/db:/var/lib/mysql:delegated'
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
MYSQL_DATABASE: ${DB_NAME}
MYSQL_USER: ${DB_USER}
MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASS}
restart: always
ports:
- '3306:3306'
phpmyadmin:
image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
container_name: ${APP_NAME}-phpmyadmin
volumes:
- ./config/phpmyadmin.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/phpmyadmin.ini
environment:
PMA_HOST: ${DB_HOST}
PMA_PORT: 3306
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
ports:
- '8080:80'
links:
- db:db
Dockerfile
FROM wordpress
RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

There are some things that you can do:
1- Since you've declare:
ports:
- 80:80
You can't get to many wordpress at the same time with different docker-compose. So, you can delete the binding from your instance like this:
ports:
- 80
Doing it, you can make several docker-compose with different ports without worrying about the ports.
But there is another problem... Your database it's already up. So, in this case, if you want to use several docker-compose for each project you'll need another docker-compose for your database. So... the docker-compose solution is get another docker-compose for your database and in every docker-compose file add an external network:
With it, you can use the dns name as its always.
The other way is using the same template like this:
version: '3.3'
networks:
default:
external:
name: wordpresses
services:
wordpress_1:
build: .
container_name: ${APP_NAME}-wordpress
restart: always
ports:
- 80
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: ${DB_HOST}
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: ${DB_USER}
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASS}
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: ${DB_NAME}
WORDPRESS_TABLE_PREFIX: ${DB_TABLE_PREFIX}
WORDPRESS_CONFIG_EXTRA: |
/* Direct FTP */
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
volumes:
- ./src/project1:/var/www/html/wp-content:rw
- ./config/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php.ini
depends_on:
- db
wordpress_2:
build: .
container_name: ${APP_NAME}-wordpress
restart: always
ports:
- 80
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: ${DB_HOST}
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: ${DB_USER}
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASS}
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: ${DB_NAME}
WORDPRESS_TABLE_PREFIX: ${DB_TABLE_PREFIX}

I know wordpress has some issues if you don't put the domain. In any case, you can use a NGINX in front of all wordpress as a reverse proxy like this Example.
Feel free to ask!
