According to the docker wordpress documentation, the “latest” image tag is associated with apache. A quick test would be to use the docker top command. From the linux command line, try:
# replace 'wordpress' with the container name you specified in the *yml* file for wordpress image
docker top wordpress
Unless you specified (external) volumes, you would need to look inside of the container. Read the getting started with docker engine guide for more info.

Hi!
Docker Compose helps you provision Docker containers. Wordpress is installed in a Docker container, which is similar to a virtual machine in the sense that it is isolated from your actual server.
The Wordpress image uses the Apache webserver internally. You can read more about Docker and containerization here:
