Single-container WordPress backed by SQLite — no MariaDB sidecar, no external DB to manage. Uses the official wordpress:php8.3-apache image and the sqlite-database-integration plugin (https://github.com/WordPress/sqlite-database-integration), which is fetched and pre-activated by the entrypoint on first start.
Notes
Trade-off: SQLite is fine for blogs, brochure sites and small comm- unities; if you expect heavy concurrent writes (busy WooCommerce stores, hundreds of authors) you'll want the MariaDB-backed flavour instead — that template is on the roadmap.
Everything WordPress writes lives in the mounted volume: uploads, plugins, themes and the SQLite DB. Back the folder up and you've backed up the site.
