The "Inception" project involves creating a small Docker-based infrastructure within a virtual machine to enhance system administration skills. Participants will build and configure Docker containers for services like NGINX, WordPress, and MariaDB while adhering to strict guidelines and best practices.
- Infrastructure Requirements:
Configure NGINX with TLSv1.2/1.3 as the sole entry point. Set up WordPress with PHP-FPM and MariaDB, each in dedicated containers. Use volumes for WordPress files and database storage. Connect containers through a Docker network. Guidelines:
Build all containers from scratch using Alpine or Debian images. Avoid pre-built images and infinite loop hacks. Use environment variables and a .env file for secure configuration. Store sensitive data (e.g., credentials, passwords, API keys) securely in local files or Docker secrets, ensuring they are ignored by Git. Bonus Features:
Add Redis caching for WordPress. Set up an FTP server pointing to WordPress files. Create a static website in any language except PHP. Configure Adminer for database management. Implement an additional useful service with justification.
