# Creating a Custom Network

|

* **Creating a Custom Network**
|
* **Before you do anything else, you'll need to create a custom network specifically for your Wordpress sites so you don't run out of IP's which can confuse docker and cause issues with reverse proxies.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Conveniently I made a simple batch file called 'create-docker-wordpress-network.bat' that all you need to do is double-click.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **It will create the network range 10.64.0.0 within Docker and then delete itself since you only need to run it once.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **If you want to use a different network range instead of 10.64.0.0, you can right click on the batch file and change the range to whatever you want. Then save the bat file and run it.**

## Folder Organization

# Folder Organization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* **Folder Organization**
|
* **Now you'll need to organize the folder names, which is very important.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Copy the ' wp-new-site ' folder and paste it in the same directory and it should create a new folder called ' wp-new-site - Copy '. This will leave the ' wp-new-site ' folder untouched so it can remain a template that you can copy/paste as many times as you want for any new site you want to launch.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Rename the new folder you just created, ' wp-new-site - Copy ', to match your specific domain. Ex. ' wp-website-com '. You're keeping the 'wp-' part for easy filtering. You're changing the word 'new' to whatever your domain is. Then you're changing the word 'site' to whatever your domain extention is.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* So here are a couple of examples:
|
||||||
|
* For 'jhammah.com', you would change 'wp-new-site' to 'wp-jhammah-com'
|
||||||
|
* For 'takedownthe.gov', you would change 'wp-new-site' to 'wp-takedownthe-gov'
|
||||||
|
* For 'dronework.pro', you would change 'wp-new-site' to 'wp-dronework-pro'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **For this tutorial, I'll be creating a site for the domain I own, scrapyardplays.com, which means I'll change 'wp-new-site' to 'wp-scrapyardplays-com'**
