Hi @tedw,

If you’re wanting to run WP-CLI from your computer and not inside the site container, you can try the following:

1. Open `wp-config.php` in `app/public`
2. Add a conditional for the `DB_HOST` constant. The value needs to be whatever the “Remote Host” of the database is followed by the “Remote Port” so it’ll look something like:

```auto
/** MySQL hostname */
if ( defined( 'WP_CLI' ) && WP_CLI ) {
	define( 'DB_HOST', '192.168.65.100:4006' );
} else {
	define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );
}

```
