WordPress TiDB Docker

Use the TiDB Serverless Tier cluster as the database for WordPress.

Prerequisites

• TiDB Cloud Serverless Tier
• Docker
• Docker Compose (If you have installed Docker Desktop, Docker Compose should already be included)

In the Ubuntu, you can use this script to install the docker and docker compose:

sudo sh install.sh

Usage

• Clone submodule git submodule update --init --recursive.

• Run cp .env.example .env.

• Change the properties in .env to match your TiDB Serverless Tier cluster information.

  • In Cluster Overview of TiDB Cloud Web Console, click Connect button on the top right of the screen.
  • Select General in the Connect With dropdown list.
  • Copy and paste the connection infomation into the .env file. By default, your TiDB Serverless comes with a test DB. You could change the value TIDB_DB_NAME to the DB you've created in your TiDB Serverless.

• Run docker compose up -d.

• That's it! You can now initialize the WordPress site by going to the localhost page.

To stop and clean up the Docker containers, run docker compose down.
