Inception

The "Inception" project delves into system administration with Docker, focusing on setting up a comprehensive infrastructure within a virtual machine. It mandates the creation of distinct Docker containers running various services like NGINX, WordPress with php-fpm, and MariaDB, among others. Emphasizing best practices, it prohibits certain approaches, mandates use of environment variables, and enforces security measures like domain configuration and avoiding credential exposure. Additionally, it includes a bonus section allowing students to implement extra services like Redis cache, FTP server, or additional utilities for bonus credit, contingent upon successful completion of the mandatory tasks.

• A Docker container that contains NGINX with TLSv1.3
• A Docker container that contains WordPress + php-fpm
• A Docker container that contains MariaDB
• A volume that contains the WordPress database
• A second volume that contains the WordPress website files
• A docker-network that establishes the connection between the containers
