Inception

This is an exercise on building a Docker container cluster inside a virtual machine (here, Debian 10) using Docker, Docker-Compose and Docker Volume for data persistence.

All the Dockerfiles are written by myself, the only pulls are Debian and Alpine

Description

A Docker cluster is a Wordpress website working inside a Docker Network with default options.

Backend side is a MySql Database.

Frontend side are Wordpress standard files.

.php files are processed with NGINX's FAST-CGI module with php-fpm working as a service on a separate container.

Wordpress files are changed on the basis of service_names and users inside the MySQL database.

The resulting Docker Network will work just as described in the diagram below

Persistent data storage

Database files are mounted into ~/data/dbdata

Wordpress files are mounted into ~/data/wordpress

Getting Started

Mac OS

• Download Docker Desktop, Docker CLI or a Docker Virtual Machine

  Docker Desktop download

• run make

Debian 10

• In the root folder of the project run bash ./srcs/debian_setup.sh This will install all the necessary dependencies for Docker Engine
• cd into the root of the project
• run make

All the services are installed within the Dockerfiles.

Entering the website

• The website is available at https://localhost:443
