Error establishing a database connection w/ Docker

[moimikey]

hi,

is there something extra that needs to happen in order to dockerize wordplate? i can't seem to avoid Error establishing a database connection

docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
  web:
    image: richarvey/nginx-php-fpm:latest
    container_name: web
    ports:
      - "8000:80"
      - "8443:443"
    volumes:
      - ./public:/var/www/html
      - ./vendor:/var/www/html/vendor
      - ./nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d
      - ./logs/nginx:/var/log/nginx
      - ./certs:/etc/letsencrypt
      - ./certs-data:/data/letsencrypt

      - redis

    links:
      - mysql
    environment:
      PMA_HOST: mysql
    restart: always

  mysql:

    container_name: mysql
    ports:

i figured out the problem... so i had to add extra define's to wp-config.php with the database info. i was assuming this would have been caught automagically with .env somehow. meh.

[moimikey]

also, i feel like maybe vendor and public shouldn't be separate. it's annoying having to alter the path in wordplate's wp-config to point to the correct vendor path.

Hmm, could you explain why you need to update the vendor path?

[moimikey]

@vinkla the public directory that nginx is using is /var/www/html which is linked to ./public but ./vendor is outside of public, aka outside of /var/www/html which won't work. ./vendor would have to live inside of ./public. it would make more sense if the composer.json lived inside ./public

[vinkla]

You can rename public to html and put everything else outside the html directory.

@moimikey Hello, what do you add to wp-config?

[moimikey]

@njxqlus

the only adjustment i made to work with my Docker setup was:

-require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
+require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

how do you modify the wp-config.php
