WordPress has its official docker container: With it, you can easily have installation containerized.

Example:

docker run --detach \
--name nestify-container \
--link some-container-com-mysql:mysql \
-e WORDPRESS_DB_HOST=171.21.0.1:4306 \
-e WORDPRESS_DB_USER=root \
-e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=root \
-e WORDPRESS_DB_NAME=Nestify_WordPress \
-p 8080:80 \

After running the installation command, it will be active and can be accessed with https: // localhost: 8080 or https: // host-IP: 8080 in your browser.
