Inception

Docker System Administration Project

This project is a System Administration exercise focused on utilizing Docker to create and manage a small infrastructure of different services. The project aims to enhance your knowledge of system administration, virtualization, and Docker.

Project Summary

The project involves setting up a virtualized infrastructure with various Docker containers, each running a specific service. The key components of the project include:

• NGINX Container: A Docker container running NGINX with TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3.
• WordPress + php-fpm Container: A container with WordPress and php-fpm installed and configured.
• MariaDB Container: A container with MariaDB for the WordPress database.
• Volume Setup: Two volumes for the WordPress database and website files.
• Docker Network: A network to establish connections between containers.
• Restart on Crash: Containers automatically restart in case of a crash.
• WordPress Database Users: Creation of two users, one of them being the administrator.
• Custom Domain: Configuration of a custom domain name (login.42.fr) pointing to the local IP address.

Additionally, the project includes the following tasks:

• Setting up Redis cache for the WordPress website.
• Setting up an FTP server container pointing to the volume of your WordPress website.
• Creating a simple static website (excluding PHP).
• Setting up Adminer for database management.
• Setting up an additional service of your choice, justifying your choice for the defense.
