How to add wordpress plugins in docker-entrypoint.sh file

Question

I had researched about adding WordPress plugin in WordPress docker image, as in research I found the custom plugins can be added in docker-entrypoint.sh file. But I am not able to add custom plugins in entrypoint file. If is there any solution for this problem.

Answer 1

The docker-library/wordpress image does include a wordpress/docker-entrypoint.sh script.

However, the README points out :

This image does not provide any additional PHP extensions or other libraries, even if they are required by popular plugins.
There are an infinite number of possible plugins, and they potentially require any extension PHP supports. Including every PHP extension that exists would dramatically increase the image size.

So when you say "I am not able to add custom plugins in entrypoint file", it really depends on what error you have.

If you need additional PHP extensions, you'll need to create your own image FROM this one. The documentation of the php image explains how to compile additional extensions.
Additionally, the wordpress Dockerfile has an example of doing this.
