Are you sick of working with complicated WordPress setups using tools like XAMPP? Or maybe you've got a not-quite-working Docker configuration and need just a nudge in the right direction?

In this video, I'm going to show you an way to set up a local WordPress development environment using Docker. We'll create a local NGINX image, along with a MySQL database, and bring everything together for WordPress.

It should make it easier to keep your own plugins and/or themes in version control, while ignoring the other bits of WordPress that you don't really care about.
