I am looking to build and run wordpress website using Dockerfile, but unable to do it.
can anyone help me to find the correct syntax for the Dockerfile to build the image.

But why not use the official wordpress image instead of building your own?

What error do you get?

Also, since there is alot of php-heavy stuff in your dockerfile, maybe switch to the php-apache image, its a bit easier to install php modules

I am trying to install the basic wordpress website as i did on my localhost.

below is the error i am getting

Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/strip-nondeterminism/libfile-stripnondeterminism-perl_1.7.0-1_all.deb Undetermined Error [IP: 91.189.88.142 80]

i also tried below two commands to directly pull and run the wordpress website :

docker run --name db -p 90:3306 --restart=always --network wp-mysql-network -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -e MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress -e MYSQL_USER=wpuser -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=P@ssw0rd -v mysql-demo3:/var/lib/mysql -d mysql:latest

docker run -d --name wp-site1 --link db -p 85:80 -e WORDPRESS_HOST=db:90 --network wp-mysql-network -e MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress -e MYSQL_USER=wpuser -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=P@ssw0rd -v wp-data-demo3:/var/www/html wordpress:latest

but then this error comes :

Error establishing a database connection on the browser

When using -p, its only for external access and in, between containers its still the main port.
so in your wordpress host, it should be db:3306, or just … db as 3306 is the default port
