1

Add Wordpress with one-click installation

Add a Wordpress service with the one-click installation feature in Coolify.

Persist Wordpress files on the host machine

Change the following lines in your docker-compose.yml file from the UI to persist the Wordpress files on the host machine:
volumes:
  - "wordpress-files:/var/www/html"
to:
volumes:
  - "./wordpress:/var/www/html"
This will mount the wordpress directory in the default configuration directory (/data/coolify/services/<serviceUuid>/) to the /var/www/html directory in the container.This way, you can edit the files on your host machine and see the changes reflected in the container.
