How to update wp-config file in Docker
I am trying to change our blogs from Wordpress to inside a docker container, so that we can move around it easily. I wrote a docker-compose file for the purpose and it ran smoothly the first time. But I made some mistakes on configs and missed to write the HOME
and SITEURL
on the docker-compose file in the beginning. Now, I can't seem to change the wp-config.php
. according to Wordpress, it can't be updated from the entrypoint script once it's already been written. I tried a bunch of other scenarios:
I tried to use
docker exec
command to update the wp-config.php file. bash does not have vim/nano there.I deleted all the containers and volumes and images, but still, it doesn't change anything. I downed and re-uploaded the compose file many times, but nothing is changing.
Here's a snippet of my compose file. What should I do now? [I need to change the home and siteurl because the Wordpress will be served from a different server.]
