Introduction

This project aims to broaden your knowledge of system administration by utilizing Docker. It involves setting up a small infrastructure composed of different services, all running in Docker containers. The project must be done in a virtual machine, and docker-compose is used for managing the containers.

General Guidelines

• Set up a virtual machine for the project.
• Place all the configuration files in the srcs folder.
• Include a Makefile at the root of the directory to automate the setup and build process.
• Familiarize yourself with Docker usage by referring to relevant documentation.
• Each Docker image must have the same name as its corresponding service.
• Each service should run in a dedicated container.
• Use Dockerfiles to create your own Docker images instead of pulling pre-made images.
• Set up NGINX with TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 only in a Docker container.
• Configure WordPress + php-fpm and MariaDB in separate Docker containers.
• Use volumes to store the WordPress database and website files.
• Establish a docker-network to connect the containers.
• Enable automatic restart of containers in case of a crash.

Mandatory Part

The mandatory part includes the following requirements:

• Use Alpine or Debian as the base image for containers.
• Build Docker images by calling respective Dockerfiles in the docker-compose.yml using the Makefile.
• Set up NGINX, WordPress, php-fpm, MariaDB, volumes, and docker-network.
• Restrict usernames in the WordPress database.
• Configure domain name resolution to point to the local IP address.

For detailed instructions and examples, please refer to the project document.

Bonus Part

The bonus part is optional. It offers additional tasks to enhance your project. Some of the suggested bonus tasks include:

• Setting up Redis cache for the WordPress website.
