1. Confirm docker is running… Display a list of all containers…

Docker Info

Docker ps  –a

 

Notice the ID of the container that you want to connect to: Is it running?  If not you can start it with:

Docker Start <ContainerID>

 

Since the container is running wordpress (or other web engine) it will not have an interactive session attached to it.  To create a new interactive

docker exec –it <ContainerID>  bash

define( ‘WP_REDIS_HOST’, ‘redis’ );

define( ‘WP_REDIS_PORT’, 6379 );

 

<Escape> then :wq! to save changes

cat wp-config.php   then scroll up to see my changes in the file
