The Inception project aims to broaden your knowledge of system administration by using Docker. You will virtualize several Docker images, creating them in your new personal virtual machine. The project consists of setting up a small infrastructure composed of different services under specific rules, all done in a virtual machine using Docker Compose.
The mandatory part requires setting up:
- A Docker container with NGINX that uses TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 protocol
- A Docker container with WordPress + php-fpm
- A Docker container with MariaDB
- A volume for the WordPress database
- A volume for the WordPress website files
- A Docker network to connect the containers
