+A Docker-based toolkit that streamlines WordPress upgrades using official images. Provides pre-configured docker-compose files, Dockerfiles, and standardized procedures to make WordPress maintenance more predictable and reliable.
+
+## Project Configuration
+
+### Project Name
+This project requires a project name, which should be defined in an `.env` file:
+```bash
+COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=test
+```
+
+### Database Host Configuration
+To avoid conflicts, use the following format for the database host:
+```bash
+WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}-database-1:3306
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Docker Images
+```bash
+# Web and Database Images
+IMAGE_WEB=test_web_staging
+IMAGE_DATABASE=mariadb:11.5
+```
+
+### Let's Encrypt Configuration
+```bash
+VIRTUAL_HOST=test.test.org
+LETSENCRYPT_HOST=test.test.org
+LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=test@test.com
+LETSENCRYPT_TEST=true
+```
+
+### Database Configuration
+```bash
+WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=${COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME}-database-1:3306
+WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=wordpress
+MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=wordpress
+MYSQL_DATABASE=wordpress
+MYSQL_USER=wordpress
+MYSQL_PASSWORD=wordpress
+```
+
+### Volume Configuration
+```bash
+# External Volumes
+DB_VOLUME=test_db_staging
+CONTENT_VOLUME=test_content_staging
+
+# Recreated Volumes
+HTML_VOLUME=test_html_staging
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Upgrade Process
+
+1. Stop the current containers and remove volumes:
+```bash
+docker compose down -v
+```
+
+2. Update WordPress version:
+   - Modify version in `Dockerfile.wordpress_fpm`
+   - Update `IMAGE_WEB` in `.env` file
+
+3. Build and test the new environment:
+```bash
+# Build initial configuration
+docker compose -f docker-compose.first.yml build 
+
+# Test the build
+docker compose -f docker-compose.first.yml up -d
+
+# Stop test environment
+docker compose -f docker-compose.first.yml down
+
+# Start production environment
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+4. Migrate content:
+```bash
+# In the wordpress service, copy new content to production
+cp -a wp-content-new/* wp-content/
+
+# Verify permissions on wp-content directory
+chmod -R [appropriate-permissions] wp-content/
+```
+
+5. Optional: Update database if needed:
+```bash
+./update-db
+```
