Docker + jwilder/nginx-proxy + jwilder/docker-gen + jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion + php:7-fpm + wordpress:fpm

[admin]

I know I'm really close on this, but I can't get the last part
working. I'm almost positive it has to do with the WordPress
container and the PHP container needing to be the same directory? So
PHP can process files in that directory? I have been working on this
for a week and a half and I'm breaking down, asking for help.

I can most of this working and different combinations - but not this
particular combination.

What I'm trying to do is have separate containers for MySQL (and
share the database) nginx-proxy WordPress using Nginx (each site with
their own WordPress container) PHP 7

I've gotten this working with WordPress using Apache, but that's not
what I want.

I have done a lot of reading and a lot of testing and did find that I
was originally missing VIRTUAL_PROTO=fastcgi. I see the configs that
populate in the nginx-proxy container...they seem right, but I think
my confusion has to do with the paths and the virtual environments.

I create docker network create nginx-proxy

These are the files and directories I have...

/home/tj/mysite.com/.env /home/tj/nginx-proxy/docker-compose.yml

Now, what i was able to get working is if I use "wordpress:latest"
instead of "wordpress:fpm", but I don't want to use Nginx and
Apache...Apache uses a lot of memory and I have all of my old configs
and notes in Nginx, so I'd like to get this working.

I have some Dockerfile things I'm trying to figure out too - like
running commands, but let me see if you all can help me with this
first.

Another thing - this is more of a generic Linux issue, but over the
years I've never been able to figure it out and I just default to
using root, which I know is bad practice. So, I have my user "tj"
which I created like:

<blockquote>
sudo useradd tj sudo usermod -aG sudo tj sudo usermod -aG docker tj
sudo usermod -aG www-data tj sudo g+w /home/tj -R *
</blockquote>

For Docker, I started working out of my /home/tj directory. When I
try to go edit a file or upload, I get a permission issue. But if I
change directories and files from

www-data:www-data

to

tj:www-data or
tj:tj

, it works for me in SFTP or terminal, but then there are web
issues, like when I try to upload -

www-data

has permission issues on
the WordPress sid.
