 * Hi guys.
 * I have WordPress in docker/container and ‘wp-cli’ fails:
 * -> $ ~/bin/wp –http=http://ale.xyz –user=me plugin list
   Error: This does not 
   seem to be a WordPress installation.Pass –path=`path/to/wordpress` or run `wp
   core download`.
 * I’m new to wordpress & cli so I assumed the message is about the remote installation
   and not about local host from which I’m connecting – correct?
 * I add ‘–path=’/var/www/html’ – which is where WordPress, in the container, resides,
   but error remains the same.
 * What am I missing here?
 * many thanks, L.

 * Have you tried the official WordPress image?
   >> [https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress](https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress)
 * Not sure if that image contains WP-CLI. If it’s not there you may need create
   your own image and add the wp-cli to the image and then start a container.
   I 
   think it’s a good idea to take a look a few Docker courses. I personally have
   a Virtual Machine that has Ubuntu installed and there I have docker installed
