# Quickstart: Compose and WordPress
You can use Docker Compose to easily run WordPress in an isolated environment
built with Docker containers. This quick-start guide demonstrates how to use
Compose to set up and run WordPress. Before starting, make sure you have
[Compose installed](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
## Define the project
1. Create an empty project directory.
You can name the directory something easy for you to remember.
This directory is the context for your application image. The
directory should only contain resources to build that image.
This project directory contains a `docker-compose.yml` file which
is complete in itself for a good starter wordpress project.
>**Tip**: You can use either a `.yml` or `.yaml` extension for
this file. They both work.
2. Change into your project directory.
For example, if you named your directory `my_wordpress`:
```console
$ cd my_wordpress/
```
3. Create a `docker-compose.yml` file that starts your
`WordPress` blog and a separate `MySQL` instance with volume
mounts for data persistence:
```yaml
services:
db:
# We use a mariadb image which supports both amd64 & arm64 architecture
image: mariadb:10.6.4-focal
# If you really want to use MySQL, uncomment the following line
#image: mysql:8.0.27
command: '--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password'
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=somewordpress
- MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress
- MYSQL_USER=wordpress
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=wordpress
expose:
- 3306
- 33060
wordpress:
image: wordpress:latest
volumes:
- wp_data:/var/www/html
ports:
- 80:80
restart: always
environment:
- WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=db
- WORDPRESS_DB_USER=wordpress
- WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=wordpress
- WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=wordpress
volumes:
db_data:
wp_data:
```
> **Notes**:
>
* The docker volumes `db_data` and `wordpress_data` persists updates made by WordPress
to the database, as well as the installed themes and plugins. [Learn more about docker volumes](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/)
>
* WordPress Multisite works only on ports `80` and `443`.

### Build the project
Now, run `docker compose up -d` from your project directory.
This runs [`docker compose up`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/compose_up/) in detached mode, pulls
the needed Docker images, and starts the wordpress and database containers, as shown in
the example below.
```console
$ docker compose up -d

Creating my_wordpress_db_1
Creating my_wordpress_wordpress_1
```
> **Note**: WordPress Multisite works only on ports `80` and/or `443`.
If you get an error message about binding `0.0.0.0` to port `80` or `443`
(depending on which one you specified), it is likely that the port you
configured for WordPress is already in use by another service.
### Bring up WordPress in a web browser
At this point, WordPress should be running on port `80` of your Docker Host,
and you can complete the "famous five-minute installation" as a WordPress
administrator.
> **Note**: The WordPress site is not immediately available on port `80`
because the containers are still being initialized and may take a couple of
minutes before the first load.
If you are using Docker Desktop for Mac or Docker Desktop for Windows, you can use
`http://localhost` as the IP address, and open `http://localhost:80` in a web
browser.

### Shutdown and cleanup
The command [`docker compose down`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/compose_down/) removes the
containers and default network, but preserves your WordPress database.
The command `docker compose down --volumes` removes the containers, default
network, and the WordPress database.
