The main objective of this project was to expand my knowledge in Docker, networking, and system administration. Through this project, I was able to gain hands-on experience with these technologies and learn how to deploy and manage complex applications in a distributed environment.

I used Docker and Docker Compose to set up the following containers:
- MariaDB - A free and open-source relational database management system that stores the WordPress data
- WordPress - A free and open-source content management system that powers the website
- Nginx - A high-performance web server that serves as a reverse proxy to the WordPress container
Additionally, I implemented a bonus part of the project that included the following services - each in their dedicated container:
- FTP server - A server that enables file transfer between the server and the client
- Redis cache - A caching mechanism that stores frequently accessed data in memory to improve performance
- Ctop - A command-line tool that provides real-time metrics for Docker containers
- Adminer - A database management tool that enables the user to manage the MariaDB container
- Static website - A website that serves my resume
