Inception

Set up a small infrastructure composed of WordPress with LEMP Stack (Nginx, MariaDB and PHP) using Docker / Docker-Compose under specific rules.

Mandatory part

You then have to set up:

• A Docker container that contains NGINX with TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 only.
• A Docker container that contains WordPress + php-fpm (it must be installed and configured) only without nginx.
• A Docker container that contains MariaDB only without nginx.
• A volume that contains your WordPress database.
• A second volume that contains your WordPress website files.
• A docker-network that establishes the connection between your containers.

Your containers have to restart in case of a crash.

Bonus part

For this project, the bonus part is aimed to be simple. A Dockerfile must be written for each extra service. Thus, each one of them will run inside its own container and will have, if necessary, its dedicated volume.

Bonus list:

• Set up redis cache for your WordPress website in order to properly manage the cache.
• Set up a FTP server container pointing to the volume of your WordPress website.
• Create a simple static website in the language of your choice except PHP (Yes, PHP is excluded!). For example, a showcase site or a site for presenting your resume.
• Set up Adminer.
• Set up a service of your choice that you think is useful. During the defense, you will have to justify your choice (I chose Portainer)
