## 🗣 About

This project aims to broaden your knowledge of system administration by using Docker. You will virtualize several Docker images, creating them in your new personal virtual machine.

## 🛠 Usage

### How to run

* Have **Docker Desktop** installed and running

* Add the line `127.0.0.1 arabenst.42.fr` to `/etc/hosts` to redirect the required domain name to localhost

* be inside the root folder of the repo and run `make up` to start

* visit `arabenst.42.fr` in your browser

* run `make down` to stop

### Upload wordpress backup

Because newer versions of the plugin get stuck on upload...

* visit `arabenst.42.fr/wp-admin` enter the admin login as in `srcs/.env`

* install the **All-in-One Migration Version 6.7** Wordpress plugin following [this guide](https://www.namehero.com/blog/how-to-fix-a-stuck-all-in-one-wp-migration-import/#1-2-installing-the-older-plugin-version-67)

* navigate to the plugin, select *Import* and upload the desired backup (`inception.wpress` is the website I made for the evaluation)

* visit the main page again and the changes should be applied

## 💬 Description

* Three **Docker Containers** run the individual services:

  * **nginx** (webserver)

  * **MariaDB** (database)

  * **WordPress** (content management system) and **php-fpm** (web tool for quicker website)

* Two **Docker Volumes** mount local directories for persisting files:

  * WordPress database

  * WordPress website files

* A **Docker Network** establishes the connection between your containers




* Each container is launched from a **Docker Image** which is built from a  **Dockerfile**:

  * pulls a base image (I decided to only use **Alpine**, as it's more light-weight and therefore installs quicker than **Debian**)

  * installs and configures programs as required

  * launches a startup-script that makes some last minute setup and runs the service

* A **docker-compose.yml** file manages everything:

  * builds images from Dockerfiles (importing the .env file as the environment)

  * launches containers from images

  * hooks the containers up with volumes

  * configures the network for the containers to communicate with each other
