Preamble

This document serves as an exercise in system administration related tasks using Docker technology.

Introduction

In this project, you will virtualize several Docker images, creating them in your new personal virtual machine.

General Guidelines

• The project must be executed on a Virtual Machine.
• All configuration files should be stored in the srcs folder.
• A Makefile at the root of your directory should manage the setup of your entire application, including building Docker images via docker-compose.yml.
• Extensive documentation reading on Docker and relevant technologies is advised to successfully complete this assignment.

Mandatory Part

Set up a small infrastructure with different services under specific rules:

• Use docker-compose and virtual machines.
• Create Dockerfiles for each service.
• Setup containers for NGINX, WordPress + php-fpm, and MariaDB.
• Manage data through dedicated volumes and establish network connections between containers without using deprecated features or insecure practices.

Bonus Part

Enhance your project with optional features:

• Redis cache for WordPress.
• FTP server container for WordPress files.
• A static website (non-PHP).
• Adminer setup.
• Any other service you find useful, which you'll need to justify during your defense.

Submission and Peer-evaluation

Submit your work via your Git repository. Ensure all filenames and folder structures are correct as only the contents of the repository will be evaluated.
