42Inception

Description

Inception is a system administration project aimed at setting up a small-scale infrastructure using Docker and Docker Compose. The goal is to create and manage multiple services in isolated containers, following best practices in containerization and security.

Features

• Docker Compose-based container orchestration.
• Services run in separate containers:
  • NGINX with TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 support.
  • WordPress + php-fpm without NGINX.
  • MariaDB as a database.
• Persistent storage using Docker volumes.
• Secure networking using a dedicated Docker network.
• Containers restart automatically in case of failure.
• Proper environment variable management with .env file.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ejarvinen/42Inception.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd 42Inception

3. Build and run the project using:

make

Usage

• To start the containers:

• To stop the containers:

Configuration

• Modify the .env file to set up your domain, database credentials, and other configurations.
• The domain name must follow the format login.42.fr, where login for this specific project is emansoor.

Security Considerations

• No plaintext passwords in Dockerfiles.
• Environment variables should be stored in .env.
• NGINX serves as the only entry point on port 443.
