🐳 INCEPTION – Docker-based Server Deployment

This project sets up a fully functional server environment using Docker and Docker Compose, deploying:

• WordPress
• MariaDB
• Nginx with SSL
• Optional additional services (can be removed for mandatory part)

📦 Requirements

• Docker >= 20.x
• Docker Compose >= 2.x
• GNU Make
• Bash

---

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourname/inception-42.git
cd inception-42

2. Create the necessary directories

To properly prepare volumes and configuration paths:

bash dockerize-it.sh

⚠️ If you get permission errors, run the script with sudo:

sudo bash dockerize-it.sh

3. Build and start the containers

Run the following to build and start all services:

sudo make

This will:

• Build the required Docker images
• Set up volumes and networks
• Launch services with Docker Compose

🌐 Access the Services

After launching, you can access your WordPress website via:

https://127.0.0.1

✅ Make sure port 443 is open and available.

🧹 Clean Up

To stop and remove all containers, networks, and volumes:

sudo make down

Full Cleanup (fclean)

To completely wipe everything including:

• Docker containers
• Docker images
• Docker volumes
• Docker cache
• Created directories (e.g., ~/data)
• Build artifacts

Use:

sudo make fclean

⚠️ This is irreversible. It deletes all related Docker artifacts and host-side directories used by the project.
