### Quick start – get it running in three steps  

1. **Clone the repository**  

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/RadioParalelo/indymedia.org.git indymedia-wp
   cd indymedia-wp
   ```

2. **Build the Docker image**  

   ```bash
   docker build -t indymedia:test .
   ```

3. **Start the container**  

   ```bash
   docker run -d \
     --name indymedia \
     -p 8080:80 \
     -v "$(pwd)/wp-data:/var/www/html/wp-content" \
     indymedia:test
   ```

   Then open **http://localhost:8080/wp-admin** in a browser, run the WordPress installer, and activate the plugins you need.

### What the project contains  

| Component | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Dockerfile** | Builds a clean `wordpress:php8.2-apache` image, installs Composer, WP‑CLI, and copies your custom theme. |
| **composer.json / composer.lock** | Lists the 18 plugins (WPackagist mirror) that are installed into `wp-content/plugins/`. |
| **indy‑wp/indywp/** | Your custom theme (built and ready to use). |
| **config/php.ini** | Optional PHP tweaks (upload limits, memory, etc.). |
| **docker‑compose.yml** *(optional)* | Example compose file for a full stack (MySQL, phpMyAdmin, etc.). |
| **README.md** | This file. |

---  

### Installing the plugins  

After the container is running, open the WordPress admin, go to **Plugins → Installed Plugins**, and click **Activate** for each plugin you want.  
All plugins are already present in `wp-content/plugins/` thanks to `composer install` that runs during the image build.

---  

### Adding or updating plugins  

1. Edit `composer.json` – add or change a package from WPackagist, e.g.:

   ```json
   "require": {
       "wpackagist-plugin/wp-super-cache": "^2.0",
       "wpackagist-plugin/new-plugin": "^1.2"
   }
   ```

2. Re‑build the image (step 2 above).  
   Composer will fetch the new versions and place them in the image.
