Introduction

This project simplifies the deployment of a WordPress site by leveraging the power of Docker and Docker Compose. With just a few commands, you can have a fully functional LEMP stack ready for development or production. The bash script included in this repository automates the entire setup process, ensuring you have the latest version of WordPress and all necessary configurations.

Features

• Automated Setup: A bash script that checks dependencies, pulls the latest WordPress version, and manages the site lifecycle.
• Containerization: Each component runs in its own Docker container, providing isolation and ease of management.
• LEMP Stack: Combines Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP for a powerful web hosting environment.
• Easy Management: Start, stop, or delete your site with simple commands.
• Local Development: Ideal for local development and testing before deployment.

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Basic knowledge of command-line operations
