Use the below commands to see images,containers,volumes

docker images
docker ps -a
docker volume list

To shutdown the container use the command shown below

docker-compose down 

Since we use below command in docker-compose.yml file you get the access to edit the wordpress files.If we remove the containers volume will not removed.

volumes: ['./:/var/www/html']

For example if we try to add media in wordpress, the default size would be 2 MB.we can change the size by editing .htaccess file.

# BEGIN WordPress
php_value memory_limit 100M
php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 300
# END WordPress

To remove containers along with volumes use the command below

docker-compose down --volumes
