💡
Using Local! You can create very quickly a simple wordpress on localhost with a domain website.local. You can also backup your site and drag-n-drop into Local for using locally. However, Local are not always working with the custom themes.

WP basic without backup

Make a folder name mysite containing,
In the docker-compose.yml
Start the container,
Browse http://localhost:8080 to install wordpress by gui.

Debug

In the case you wanna see the list of users or access to the mysql environement,

Install WP-CLI

For example, activate all-in-one-wp-migration (already copied / placed in folder plugins)
