Inception

Summary

This project is a Dockerized WordPress infrastructure using three key components: Nginx, MariaDB, and WordPress itself. The containers are orchestrated using Docker Compose, based on custom Docker images built from Dockerfiles. The intention behind this project was to learn about Docker, containerization, and orchestration.

Features

The Nginx container serves as the web server and is exposed on port 443 using a self-signed TLS certificate. MariaDB is used as the database and is configured through a script during the build phase. WordPress is set up using WP CLI, also configured via a script during its build phase.

Prerequisites

1. Docker installed
2. Docker Compose installed

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Guiribei/Inception.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Inception

3. Start the Docker Compose using Makefile:

   make

You can now access the WordPress website at https://localhost.

Environment Variables

To configure your setup, you'll need to provide environment variables. You must create a .env file for that.

Here are the variables you may set:

• DATABASE_USER
• DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD
• DATABASE_NAME
• DATABASE_ROOT_PASSWORD
• WP_ADMIN_USER
• WP_ADMIN_PASSWD
• WP_ADMIN_EMAIL
• WP_USER
• WP_USER_PASSWD
• WP_USER_EMAIL
• WP_URL
• WP_DB_HOST
• WP_TITLE

Volumes

The project uses two volumes:

• db_data for MariaDB, mounted at /var/lib/mysql in the container.
• wp_data for WordPress, mounted at /var/www/wordpress in the container.

Networking

A custom bridge network (mynetwork) is used for communication between the containers.

Customizing Docker Images

This project uses custom Docker images based on Alpine Linux:

1. Nginx: Located at requirements/nginx/Dockerfile.
2. MariaDB: Located at requirements/mariadb/Dockerfile.
3. WordPress: Located at requirements/wordpress/Dockerfile.

You can modify these Dockerfiles to suit your needs.
