NOTE: If you are pulling from a private containers registry, replace the image name with the full URL to the docker image. E.g.
- image: 'your-registry/image-name:your-version'
NOTE: Debian 8 images have been deprecated in favor of Debian 9 images. Bitnami will not longer publish new Docker images based on Debian 8. NOTE: RHEL images are not available in any public registry. You can build them on your side on top of RHEL as described on this doc.

To run this application you need Docker Engine >= 1.10.0
. Docker Compose is recommended with a version 1.6.0
or later.
WordPress requires access to a MySQL or MariaDB database to store information. We'll use our very own MariaDB image for the database requirements.
The recommended way to run WordPress is using Docker Compose using the docker-compose.yml
file that you can find into the different directories, depending on the distro you want to use.
NOTE: If you are pulling from a private containers registry, replace the image name with the full URL to the docker image. E.g.
wordpress: image: 'your-registry/wordpress:your-version'
Launch the containers using:
$ docker-compose up -d
If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose
, these are the basic steps you need to run:
- Create a network
$ docker network create wordpress-tier
- Create a volume for MariaDB persistence and create a MariaDB container
$ docker volume create --name mariadb_data
$ docker run -d --name mariadb \
-e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
-e MARIADB_USER=bn_wordpress \
-e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_wordpress \
--net wordpress-tier \
--volume mariadb_data:/bitnami \
bitnami/mariadb:latest
- Create volumes for WordPress persistence and launch the container
$ docker volume create --name wordpress_data
$ docker run -d --name wordpress -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
-e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
-e WORDPRESS_DATABASE_USER=bn_wordpress \
-e WORDPRESS_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_wordpress \
--net wordpress-tier \
--volume wordpress_data:/bitnami \
--volume ./wordpress-vhosts.conf:/bitnami/nginx/conf/server_blocks/wordpress-vhosts.conf \
bitnami/wordpress-nginx:latest
Access your application at http://your-ip/
If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.
For persistence you should mount a volume at the /bitnami
path. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB data.
The above examples define docker volumes namely mariadb_data
and wordpress_data
. The Wordpress application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.
To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.
The following docker-compose.yml
template demonstrates the use of host directories as data volumes.
version: '2'
services:
mariadb:
image: 'bitnami/mariadb:latest'
environment:
- ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
- MARIADB_USER=bn_wordpress
- MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_wordpress
volumes:

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MariaDB and WordPress, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the WordPress container. For the MariaDB upgrade see https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb/blob/master/README.md#upgrade-this-image
The bitnami/wordpress-nginx:latest
tag always points to the most recent release. To get the most recent release you can simple repull the latest
tag from the Docker Hub with docker pull bitnami/wordpress-nginx:latest
. However it is recommended to use tagged versions.
- Get the updated images:
$ docker pull bitnami/wordpress-nginx:latest
- Stop your container
- For docker-compose:
$ docker-compose stop wordpress
- For manual execution:
$ docker stop wordpress
- Take a snapshot of the application state
$ rsync -a /path/to/wordpress-persistence /path/to/wordpress-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)
Additionally, snapshot the MariaDB data
You can use these snapshots to restore the application state should the upgrade fail.
- Remove the stopped container
- For docker-compose:
$ docker-compose rm wordpress
- For manual execution:
$ docker rm wordpress
- Run the new image
- For docker-compose:
$ docker-compose start wordpress
- For manual execution (mount the directories if needed):
docker run --name wordpress bitnami/wordpress-nginx:latest

The Bitnami WordPress with NGINX Docker image is designed to be extended so it can be used as the base image for your custom web applications.
Before extending this image, please note there are certain configuration settings you can modify using the original image:
- Settings that can be adapted using environment variables. For instance, you can change the ports used by Apache for HTTP and HTTPS, by setting the environment variables
APACHE_HTTP_PORT_NUMBER
andAPACHE_HTTPS_PORT_NUMBER
respectively. - Adding custom virtual hosts.
- Replacing the 'httpd.conf' file.
- Using custom SSL certificates.
If your desired customizations cannot be covered using the methods mentioned above, extend the image. To do so, create your own image using a Dockerfile with the format below:
FROM bitnami/wordpress-nginx
## Put your customizations below
...
Here is an example of extending the image with the following modifications:
- Install the
vim
editor - Modify the Apache configuration file
- Modify the ports used by Apache
FROM bitnami/wordpress-nginx
LABEL maintainer "Bitnami <[email protected]>"
## Install 'vim'
RUN install_packages vim
## Enable mod_ratelimit module
RUN sed -i -r 's/#LoadModule ratelimit_module/LoadModule ratelimit_module/' /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/httpd.conf
## Modify the ports used by Apache by default
# It is also possible to change these environment variables at runtime
ENV APACHE_HTTP_PORT_NUMBER=8181
ENV APACHE_HTTPS_PORT_NUMBER=8143
EXPOSE 8181 8143
Based on the extended image, you can use a Docker Compose file like the one below to add other features:
version: '2'
services:
mariadb:
image: 'bitnami/mariadb:10.3'
volumes:
- 'mariadb_data:/bitnami'
environment:
- MARIADB_USER=bn_wordpress
- MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_wordpress
- ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
wordpress:
build: .
ports:
- '80:8181'
- '443:8143'
volumes:
- 'wordpress_data:/bitnami'
- './wordpress-server-block.conf:/opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server_blocks/wordpress-server-block.conf'
depends_on:
- mariadb
environment:
- MARIADB_HOST=mariadb
- MARIADB_PORT_NUMBER=3306
- WORDPRESS_DATABASE_USER=bn_wordpress
- WORDPRESS_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_wordpress
- ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
volumes:
mariadb_data:
driver: local
wordpress_data:
driver: local
- This image has been adapted so it's easier to customize. See the Customize this image section for more information.
- The PHP configuration volume (
/bitnami/php
) has been deprecated, and support for this feature will be dropped in the near future. Until then, the container will enable the PHP configuration from that volume if it exists. By default, and if the configuration volume does not exist, the configuration files will be regenerated each time the container is created. Users wanting to apply custom PHP configuration files are advised to mount a volume for the configuration at/opt/bitnami/php/conf
, or mount specific configuration files individually. - Enabling custom Apache certificates by placing them at
/opt/bitnami/apache/certs
has been deprecated, and support for this functionality will be dropped in the near future. Users wanting to enable custom certificates are advised to mount their certificate files on top of the preconfigured ones at/certs
.
We'd love for you to contribute to this container. You can request new features by creating an issue, or submit a pull request with your contribution.
If you encountered a problem running this container, you can file an issue. For us to provide better support, be sure to include the following information in your issue:
- Host OS and version
- Docker version (
$ docker version
) - Output of
$ docker info
- Version of this container (
$ echo $BITNAMI_IMAGE_VERSION
inside the container) - The command you used to run the container, and any relevant output you saw (masking any sensitive information)
