## indy-wp - staging an indymedia wordpress site on docker for development
|
||
|
||
**Independent Media Center** – a ready‑to‑run WordPress codebase that recreates the archived [indymedia.org](https://web.archive.org/web/*/indymedia.org).
|
||
The stack runs inside Docker and pulls all required plugins via Composer.
|
||
|
||
## Indy WordpressP on Docker
|
||
|
||
The theme repository is available at:
|
||
https://codeberg.org/radioparalelo/indy-wp-theme
|
||
|
||
This repository is mirrored at:
|
||
https://unite.openworlds.info/indymedia/indy-wp

|
||
About security:
|
||
This code does not, as of now, contain security modifications.
|
||
Wordpress usually runs with internal logs which are to be considered unsafe. This code needs to be modified to run safely on a server.
|
||
Plugins on wordpress are also a vector of potencial attack.
|
||
|
||
If you are able to modify the code, or have any other ideas, join the Open Media Network project:

## Alternatives!

### Get it running in three steps
|
||
|
||
1. **Clone the repository**
|
||
|
||
git clone https://codeberg.org/radioparalelo/indy-wp.git indymedia-wp
|
||
|
||
cd indymedia-wp
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. **Build the Docker image**
|
||
|
||
|
||
docker build -t indymedia:test .
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. **Start the container**
|
||
|
||
docker compose up --build -d
|
||
|
||
|
||
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** | Indymedia custom theme (built and ready to use). |
|
||
| **config/php.ini** | Optional PHP tweaks (upload limits, memory, etc.). |
|
||
| **docker‑compose.yml** | Docker 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.
|
||
