Inception – Docker Infrastructure Project

This project focuses on containerization and service orchestration using Docker and Docker Compose. It consists of building a secure multi-container architecture including NGINX, WordPress, and MariaDB, all communicating through an isolated Docker network to serve a local HTTPS website.

Overview

• Objective: Build a multi-service containerized web infrastructure
• Architecture: 3 isolated containers (NGINX, WordPress, MariaDB)
• Networking: Custom Docker bridge network
• Security: TLS/SSL configuration for HTTPS
• Data Persistence: Docker volumes for database and WordPress files
• Orchestration: Docker Compose
• Focus: Infrastructure design, container isolation, and service communication

Architecture

Service	Role
NGINX	Reverse proxy, HTTPS termination
WordPress	PHP-based CMS application
MariaDB	Relational database backend

All services communicate exclusively through a Docker network and do not rely on host-installed services.

Installation

• Fill in the .env file the required variables (database credentials, domain, etc.)
• Edit the Makefile login variable to match a 42 login

git clone <repository_url>
cd inception/
cd srcs/
cp srcs/envDemo srcs/.env
make

Structure

• Makefile : Build and orchestration commands
• srcs/docker-compose.yml : Multi-container definition
• srcs/requirements : Dockerfiles and service configurations
• srcs/.env : Environment variables
