Inception

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.

About the project

The main goal is to run multiple services using Docker Compose, including NGINX with TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3, WordPress + php-fpm, and MariaDB.
