I installed a new wordpress project using docker’s guide:
mkdir my-wordpress-site
cd my-wordpress-site
ddev config --project-type=php
ddev composer create wordpress/skeleton --no-interaction --prefer-dist
ddev config --docroot=wp --project-type=wordpress
ddev restart
All done and I ran the front-end configuration.
I am used to running things in windows(xampp) and heard of MAMP for mac. but now I need to use docker and have no clue of how to go about things.
Question is: Is there a way I can access my database using Docker? ssh or anything?
There are ever-so-many ways to access the database. ddev describe will open your eyes to them.
- As @Andy Mardell points out, you can use the built-in PHPMyAdmin (link in
ddev describe)
- You can also use a mysql client on the host, the port and such for this are also shown in
ddev describe
- You can also use
ddev mysql for direct access to the database (ddev v1.10+)
- On macOS, you can use
ddev sequelpro if you have the excellent, free SequelPro installed.
- You can also ssh into either the web container or the db container,
ddev ssh or ddev ssh -s db and use the mysql client there.
- You can also use
ddev exec mysql, which is really pretty much the same as ddev mysql
I hope that’s enough ways! 🙂
