Docker image to run Wordmove.

What's inside

• openssh-server
• curl
• rsync
• mysql-client
• php
• wordmove
• wp-cli
• lftp
• ruby

Additionally we install build-essential and ruby-dev in order to be able to compile gems inside the image, thus enabling it to be used as CI image in certain scenarios.

TAG specific

We ship 3 flavours of this container:

• latest / php7
• php73 (PHP version stuck at 7.3)
• alpine
• php5 (deprecated and unmaintained)

@since 28 November 2019 latest corresponds to php7

latest/php7 is based upon Debian Buster alpine tag is based upon Alpine Linux 3.10 php5 is based upon Ubuntu 14.04

latest/php7 also ships with preconfigured en_US.UTF-8 locale.

php5 also ships with:

• sshpass
• ENV RUBYOPT="-KU -E utf-8:utf-8" (Fix for some mysql sync issues when using old db adapter)

How to use

To run this image

docker run -it --rm -v ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro welaika/wordmove

This starts a shell, with wordmove available on the command-line.

SSH permission caveat

If you are on a Winodws or Linux host, then you could get permission errors while trying to use your ssh keys. To work around this problem we've a trick for you:

docker run -it --rm -v ~/.ssh:/tmp/.ssh:ro welaika/wordmove

Mounting .ssh/ inside /tmp/ will tell the image to automatically copy it over in /root/ and to fix permissions.

ENV

A WORDMOVE_WORKDIR environment variable is exported inside the container; since this is the container's WORKDIR path, you could use <%= ENV['WORDMOVE_WORKDIR'] %> inside a movefile.yml in order to solidly know the pwd.

For example running

docker run --rm -v ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro -v ~/dev/wp-site/:/html welaika/wordmove wordmove pull -d

you could configure movefile.yml like

local:
  wordpress_path: "<%= ENV['WORDMOVE_WORKDIR'] %>"
  # [...]

To run this image in a full Docker-based WordPress environment

See Wordpress development made easy using Docker

This tutorial explains how to set up a WordPress environment, using Docker Compose, with the following four interconnected containers:

• database
• wordpress
• phpmyadmin
• wordmove

Don't forget to replace image: mfuezesi/wordmove with image: welaika/wordmove to get the latest version of Wordmove.

Notable changes

Since the first version of this container, which is now tagged as php5, we got some potentially breaking changes.

• There is no wordmove user anymore. Now Wordmove supports to be invoked from root user, so we've removed some complexity from the container build. See https://github.com/welaika/wordmove/releases/tag/v2.5.1
• sshpass has been removed. It's use is discouraged and deprecated by Wordmove, so it is in this container. We warmly recommend to use safer approaches.
• RUBYOPT is no more exported. It was solving a problem disappeared since using wp-cli by default, so we've removed complexity from the build.
