Hi@akhtar,

You can download wordpress image from docker hub. WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL database. So in back end wordpress requires MySQL as well. You can use the below given code to implement your task.

version: '3.1'
services:
  wordpress:
    image: wordpress
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: exampleuser
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: examplepass
      WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: exampledb
    volumes:
      - wordpress:/var/www/html
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: exampledb
      MYSQL_USER: exampleuser
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: examplepass
      MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: '1'
    volumes:
      - db:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
  wordpress:
  db:

Write this code a docker-compose.yml file and run that file using the below given command.

$ docker-compose up
