Inception

Welcome to the Inception project repository! This project aims to set up a small infrastructure composed of different services under specific rules, all within a virtual machine using Docker Compose. Each service will run in a dedicated container, and for performance considerations, containers will be built either from the penultimate stable version of Alpine or Debian.

Project Overview

The infrastructure consists of the following services:

1. NGINX with TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 only
2. WordPress + php-fpm (without nginx)
3. MariaDB
4. Volumes for WordPress database and website files
5. Docker network connecting the containers

Getting Started

To get started with this project, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Run make build to build the Docker images.
4. Run make up to start the containers.

File Structure

• docker-compose.yml: Compose file defining the services, volumes, and network.
• Makefile: Automation script for building and managing Docker images.
• nginx/Dockerfile: Dockerfile for NGINX service.
• wordpress/Dockerfile: Dockerfile for WordPress + php-fpm service.
• mariadb/Dockerfile: Dockerfile for MariaDB service.

Dockerfiles

• Each service has its own Dockerfile located in the corresponding service directory.
• Dockerfiles are written to build the services from the penultimate stable version of Alpine or Debian.
• The Dockerfiles are invoked in the docker-compose.yml through the Makefile.

Makefile

The Makefile includes the following commands:

• build: Builds Docker images for all services.
• up: Starts containers using Docker Compose.
• down: Stops and removes containers, networks, and volumes.

To use the Makefile, run commands like make build or make up in the project directory.

Bonus Features

Bonus services have been added to enhance the project:

• Redis Cache: Set up a Redis cache for WordPress.
• FTP Server: Containerized FTP server linked to the WordPress website volume.
• Static Website: Create a simple static website in a language other than PHP.
• Adminer: Set up Adminer for database management.
• Custom Service: Add a service of your choice, justifying its usefulness during defense.
