Overview

This project involved building and deploying a complete web application infrastructure using Docker containers. The solution utilized a variety of services including NGINX, MariaDB, WordPress, Redis, Adminer, and Portainer, each running in its dedicated container. The entire application was orchestrated locally using Docker Compose to ensure seamless integration and effective management of each service.

Challenges

•Configuring multiple services to work together in isolated containers
•Setting up proper networking between containers
•Managing persistent data across container restarts
•Optimizing container resource usage
•Ensuring security between container communications

Solutions

•Created custom Docker configurations for each service
•Implemented Docker networks for secure service communication
•Set up volume mounts for persistent data storage
•Configured NGINX as a reverse proxy for the web services
•Used Docker Compose for orchestration and service dependency management

Results & Impact

•Successfully deployed a fully containerized web application
•Achieved isolation between services while maintaining seamless integration
•Implemented efficient resource utilization across containers
•Created a reproducible environment that can be deployed anywhere
•Simplified management with Portainer's container visualization
