ft_server is a project that asks you to run a server on Debian Buster through Docker with a Wordpress, Phpmyadmin and Mysql runnning.
Docker needs to be launche (use the init_docker.sh to launch at 42). The RUN command open a terminal inside the debian virtual machine. We use MariaDB as a replacement for MySQL
We run our project on Debian 10 which uses the Linux kernel. More details here
The /etc directory contains configuration files
Applications store temporary files in the /tmp directory. These files are generally deleted whenever your system is restarted.
The /usr directory contains applications and files used by users, as opposed to applications and files used by the system.
The /var directory is the writable counterpart to the /usr directory, which must be read-only in normal operation.
Autoindex enables automated directory interface.
The sites-available folder is for storing all of your vhost configurations, whether or not they're currently enabled.
The sites-enabled folder contains symlinks to files in the sites-available folder. This allows you to selectively disable vhosts by removing the symlink.
If you look inside of /etc/nginx/sites-available you will find a defaut file that helps you with the configuration file.
Since we want to use the SSL protocol, we need to redirect to an HTTPS address when calling localhost, we therefore use a 301 redirection from port 80, with
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name localhost www.localhost;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
We use openSSL to generate the certificates:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout srcs/nginx-cert.key -out srcs/nginx-cert.crt -config srcs/localhost-ssl.conf
PhpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. It will help to link our databases with the rest ouf our services.
Inside the virtual machine in the /usr/share/phpmyadmin folder we can find the config.sample.inc.php that gives us plenty of information on how to configure.
PhpMyAdmin use the Blowfish cipher for encryption. We therefore need to generate a random 32 characters encryption key at the line containing $cfg['blowfish_secret'];
WordPress (WordPress.org) is a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL that is usually used with the MySQL or MariaDB database
The wp-config.php file contains your website’s base configuration details, such as database connection information. We just edited the default template for user1 access to the database.
