Welcome to the inception project repository! This project leverages Docker Compose to orchestrate a WordPress site using Nginx as the web server and MariaDB as the database, built on top of a Debian base image. It also involves setting up volumes for data persistence, a dedicated network for container communication, and a self-signed SSL certificate for HTTPS.

• WordPress Container: Runs the latest version of WordPress.
• Nginx Container: Serves as a reverse proxy and web server.
• MariaDB Container: Used for database services.
• Volumes: Ensures data persistence for both WordPress content and database records.
• Custom Network: Facilitates secure and efficient inter-container communication.
• Self-Signed SSL Certificate: Provides HTTPS for secure access.

Before starting, ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine. Knowledge of Docker and basic command-line proficiency is recommended.

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/waelbt/inception.git
   cd inception

2. Build and Run with Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up --build

   This command builds the containers from the Debian base image and starts them. The --build flag ensures that your images are built with the latest configuration.

• Volumes: Defined in the docker-compose.yml file, volumes store persistent data for WordPress and MariaDB.
• Networks: A custom Docker network is created to isolate and manage container communication.
• SSL Certificate: The Nginx container is configured with a self-signed SSL certificate. Instructions for creating and renewing this certificate are included below.

1. Navigate to the Nginx directory within the project:

   cd nginx

2. Run the following command to generate a private key and certificate:

   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout nginx-selfsigned.key -out nginx-selfsigned.crt

   Follow the prompts to complete the certificate setup.

Once all services are running:

• WordPress: Accessible at https://localhost (or the configured domain), secured with SSL.
• MariaDB: Connects internally from WordPress using the service name defined in docker-compose.yml.
