This repo gives you a small WordPress site to get started with.

You will need Docker desktop, or alternative, for running docker and docker-compose commands from the terminal.

Clone the repo, and cd into the worksim directory.

Then run:

docker-compose up -d

Wait a minute for the containers to be started, then run:

bin/setup 

If you visit http://localhost, you should see the site. You can login using username & password admin.

Any mail sent from WordPress will go to the Mailcatcher which you can view at http://localhost:1080, and MySQL is running on localhost port 3306 (username root, password foobar).

From now on, you can start the site with docker-compose up -d, and stop it with docker-compose down. You won't need to run the setup script again.

This repo also contains a template for a class-based plugin with unit tests, that you can expand on if you'd like to. See the plugin's README for more info.
