As a DevOps enthusiast, I am excited to present my comprehensive system administration project. Leveraging Docker, I have meticulously virtualized various services within a virtual machine, creating an efficient and scalable infrastructure.

Key services include NGINX for secure access, WordPress with PHP-FPM for content management, MariaDB for database management, Redis for efficient caching, an FTP server for convenient file transfers, a static website for showcasing creativity, Adminer for database administration, and Cadvisor for system monitoring.

By choosing Alpine Linux as the operating system for the containers, I have optimized resource utilization and ensured lightweight Docker images. This contributes to improved performance and reduced infrastructure costs.

Security is paramount, and I have implemented robust measures to protect the database from unauthorized access. This includes following industry best practices and adhering to strict security guidelines.

By accomplishing this project, I gained a broad and strong knowledge of several concepts and practices related to system administration.

To use this project, follow these steps:

1. Create a new user named "zaabou".

sudo adduser zaabou
sudo passwd zaabou

2. Add the hostname "zaabou.42.fr" to the /etc/hosts file.

sudo echo "127.0.0.1 zaabou.42.fr" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

3. Run the make command to build the project.

make

4. Access the WordPress website by visiting the following URL in your web browser:

https://zaabou.42.fr

To successfully complete this project, follow these steps:

1. Set up a virtual machine with Docker installed.
2. Create Dockerfiles for each service.
3. Configure NGINX for secure access using TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3.
4. Set up WordPress with PHP-FPM and configure it to use MariaDB as the database.
5. Create a MariaDB container and configure it with a strong root password.
6. Set up Redis for efficient caching.
7. Create an FTP server for convenient file transfers.
8. Develop a static website to showcase your creativity.
9. Install Adminer for database administration.
10. (Optional) Install Cadvisor for system monitoring.
11. Configure a docker-network to establish the connection between your containers.

You can also access my Docker Hub repository and pull the images from there. Here are the links to my images:
