WP Util

Utilities for managing a Docker-based local WordPress development environment.

This is designed to be used with Docker Compose alongside WordPress and database containers.

To initialize a WordPress install for http://localhost with test credentials:

wp-init

http://localhost

Admin
username: test
password: test

Initialize Multisite

If you want a Multisite install, use:

multisite-init

http://multisite.local

Network admin

Hosts File

You will need to add entries for multisite.local and each of your subdomains to your hosts file for this to work:

127.0.0.1 multisite.local yoursubdomain.multisite.local anothersubdomain.multisite.local

SFTP Credentials

HOSTNAME=

PASSWORD='password'
PORT=

For Backups

Set Varibales
