.. _Creating WordPress Containers:

Creating WordPress Containers
=============================

This command relies on a pre-created CSV for the container (see :ref:`Managing Persistent Storage Volumes`). You can also create a persistent volume along with the container. To do this, replace the ``--filesystem`` parameter with ``--disk pool=<UUID>,size=<N>``, e.g., ``--disk pool=27a0ce77,size=3`` (the size is in gibibytes). The volume name will automatically match the container name.

#. Create a Windows container based on the WordPress image:

   ::

       $ virt-install --connect docker://node1.winctpreview.com --name vpnclient<N>_winct01wp --memory 1024 --boot init=* --os-variant none --console none --disk bus=virtio,path=virtuozzo/wordpress:techpreview --network type=network,mac=C4:37:72:75:<XX>:<YY>,source=vSwitch1 --filesystem C:/ClusterStorage/CSV_vpnclient<N>_winct01wp/,C:/Data/ --noreboot --noautoconsole
       Starting install...
       Domain creation completed.
       You can restart your domain by running:
       virsh --connect docker://node1.winctpreview.com start vpnclient<N>_winct01wp

   This command creates the following container:
   
   - Location: ``node1.winctpreview.com``
   - Name: ``vpnclient<N>_winct01wp``. The name must be unique on the node. For ease of filtering, replace ``vpnclient<N>`` here and everywhere else with your username.
   - MAC: ``C4:37:72:75:<XX>:<YY>``. To avoid MAC conflicts, replace ``<XX>`` and ``<YY>`` with the number from your username and container index, respectively. For example, C4:37:72:75:01:01 if your username is ``vpnclient1`` this is the first container you create.
   - RAM: 1024MB
   - Network: DHCP from the virtual switch ``vSwitch1``
   - Persistent storage: ``C:\\ClusterStorage\\CSV_vpnclient<N>_winct01wp\\``
   - Base image: ``virtuozzo/wordpress:techpreview``

#. Start the container:

   ::

       $ virsh --connect docker://node1.winctpreview.com start vpnclient<N>_winct01wp
       Domain vpnclient<N>_winct01wp started

#. Find out the container IP address. For example:

   ::

       $ /usr/share/winrm-docker-deploy/run-win-cmd node1.winctpreview.com vpnclient<N>_winct01wp cmd /c 'ipconfig | find "IPv4"'
       node1.winctpreview.com: cmd /c ipconfig | find "IPv4"
       IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.37.130.181

   If you get ``169.254.<...>``, the container is still waiting for an IP address from DHCP. Please run the command again in a minute.

#. Open the WordPress installer page at \http://<CT_IP_addr>/wp-admin/install.php and continue WordPress installation. For ease of use, you can provide the following details to the WordPress installer:

   - Site title: ``WordPress-winct01wp``
   - Username: ``adminwinct01wp``
   - Email: ``adminwinct01wp@winctpreview.com``
   - Select: ``Discourage search engines from indexing this site``

#. Log in to WordPress at \http://<CT_IP_addr>/wp-login.php. The dashboard will be at \http://<CT_IP_addr>/wp-admin/index.php.
