indymedia

Independent Media Center – a ready‑to‑run WordPress codebase that recreates the archived indymedia.org hub.
The stack runs inside Docker and pulls all required plugins via Composer.

Quick start – get it running in three steps

1. Clone the repository

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

2. Build the Docker image

   docker build -t indymedia:test .
   

3. Start the container

   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.:

   "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.

---

Custom mu‑plugins

If you have PHP files that must always run (e.g., security hardening), place them in the local src/ directory before building.
Docker copies everything from src/ into wp-content/mu-plugins/, and WordPress loads them automatically—no activation required.
