Woocker Quick Start

Multi-Instance Support

Woocker now supports running multiple isolated WordPress instances simultaneously.

1. Create an Instance

Use the woocker CLI to create a new instance. You can specify PHP, WordPress, and WooCommerce versions.

./woocker create my-store --php 8.1 --wp 6.4 --woo 8.5.2

This will:

• Create a new directory in instances/my-store
• Assign unique ports (HTTP, HTTPS, PMA)
• Configure the environment

2. Start an Instance

./woocker start my-store

3. Initialize an Instance

Run the initialization script to install WordPress, WooCommerce, and sample data:

./woocker init my-store

4. List Instances

See all created instances and their assigned ports:

./woocker list

5. Remove an Instance

To delete an instance and all its data:

./woocker remove my-store

4. Shared Plugins

Place your custom plugins in the plugins/ directory. They will be available in all instances under wp-content/plugins/shared-plugins/.

5. Stop an Instance

./woocker stop my-store

Legacy Setup

The setup.sh script is deprecated. Please use woocker create instead.
