The main goal of this project is to build a small infrastructure composed of different services under specific rules using Docker.
It consists of creating a Docker app - by building custom Docker images for each service and managing them with the docker compose command.
The required services of the Inception App are NGINX, MariaDB and
WordPress.
The purpose of the infrastructure is to have a running
WordPresssite. A WordPress site needs to have a database, for that the app usesMariaDBas the database management system.NGINXwill serve as a reverse proxy server for WordPress requests.
This is how the app is structured:
├── Makefile
└── srcs
├── docker-compose.yml
├── .env
└── requirements
├── mariadb
│ └── Dockerfile
├── nginx
│ └── Dockerfile
└── wordpress
└── Dockerfile
In the srcs/ directory there's a docker-compose.yml file. This file defines the services, volumes and networks specifications of the Docker app.
In srcs/requirements/ all the main services are listed as folders, and inside each folder there is a Dockerfile. Each Dockerfile defines how a Docker image is built.
In this project all the Docker images are custom build. There's no use of any ready-made images from Docker Hub.
This project requires a relative knowledge of Docker. And an extensive read of the different services' documentation. Because it not only creates each service's own Docker image, but also configures how the services connect to each other to create a functional app.
