            version: "3.3"

            services:
            db:
                image: mysql:5.7
                volumes:
                - ${PWD}/db_data:/var/lib/mysql
                restart: always
                environment:
                MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
                MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
                MYSQL_USER: wordpress
                MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress

            wordpress:
                depends_on:
                - db
                image: wordpress:latest
                volumes:
                - ${PWD}/wordpress_data:/var/www/html
                - ./php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/conf.ini
                ports:
                - "8000:80"
                restart: always
                environment:
                WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db
                WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
                WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
                WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
            volumes:
            db_data: {}
            wordpress_data: {}

2- Copy below code to php.ini

        file_uploads = On
        memory_limit = 500M
        upload_max_filesize = 500M
        post_max_size = 500M
        max_execution_time = 3200

3- Run docker-compose up

4- Above yaml file, will use "wordpress_data" folder in the same directory as file storage and "db_data" folder in the same directory as Mysql storage and Wordpress website exposed on port 8000, which means if you open your browser and enter http://localhost:8000, you should be able to see Wordpress.
