WordPress CLI

The WP-CLI interface has been added to the compose.yaml file. This makes it easier to administer a WordPress install.

The service name wpcli is needed to direct your commands to the right place. The rest of the command is passed to WP-CLI for processing.

Retrieve a list of all plugins, and show their status.

$ docker compose run --rm wpcli plugin list

Show the version info and program install locations.

$ docker compose run --rm wpcli --info

Show the web address (URL) of your website. Note: In a docker environment, the wpcli admin command isn't useful, since it can't open the browser on your host. Instead, use this command to print the siteurl value, and copy/paste it into your browser.

docker compose run --rm wpcli option get siteurl

The media-sizes package has been installed for your convenience. You may want to browse the available packages to see what else interests you.

docker compose run --rm wpcli media sizes

Use the mkplugin.bash script to simplify creation of new plugins

Check out a list of WP-CLI commands to see what it can do. Review the WP-CLI Handbook for access to additional resources.
