How to upload plugins in wordpress on docker?

Question

I am running the latest Docker mac app and have created a new docker-compose.yml in my project directory. (which is my wordpress theme).

This is my docker-compose.yml config file below, following the steps from their https://docs.docker.com/compose/wordpress/

I've also added some params to the wordpress block to keep my database persistent so I don't loose my database when I docker-compose up -d

version: '3.7'

networks:
  wordpress:
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 172.25.0.0/16

services:
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    volumes:
      - ./db:/var/lib/mysql:delegated
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: somewordpress
      MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
      MYSQL_USER: wordpress
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
    networks:
      - wordpress

  wordpress:
    depends_on:
      - db
    image: wordpress:latest
    volumes:
      - .:/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/testing:delegated
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    restart: always
    environment:
      WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
      WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress
      WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpress
      WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress
      WORDPRESS_AUTH_KEY: 5f6ede1b94d25a2294e29eeba929a8c80a5ac0fb

      WORDPRESS_NONCE_KEY: 5f6ede1b94d25a2294e29eeba929a8c80a5ac0fb

      WORDPRESS_NONCE_SALT: 5f6ede1b94d25a2294e29eeba929a8c80a5ac0fb
      WORDPRESS_DEBUG: 1
    networks:
      - wordpress

But I'm having troubles working out how to upload plugins as it's asking me for FTP credentials.

Any ideas would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

It seems like your having trouble with WordPress plugins directory perms. Go inside of this container and chmod -r 755./plugins. Also check the owner of the directory. And change it to www-data.
