Containerized infrastructure
Inception
Infrastructure that can be rebuilt, inspected, and reasoned about.
- Docker
- Docker Compose
- Nginx
- MariaDB
- WordPress
- Redis
- Linux
Overview
A multi-service web stack assembled as isolated containers with durable storage, TLS, and explicit service boundaries.
My role
Infrastructure design, container configuration, shell automation, and service hardening.
01 / The challenge
Designing for the real constraints.
The system needed reproducible provisioning while keeping data durable and services independently understandable.
02 / The solution
A system with explicit boundaries.
Purpose-built containers communicate through a controlled network, persist state through named volumes, and expose only the necessary edges through Nginx.
What the system covers
01Service isolation
02TLS termination
03Persistent volumes
04WordPress runtime
05Database provisioning
06Redis caching
07FTP access
08Admin tooling
Technical decisions
Engineering choices with consequences.
- Build service images instead of relying on opaque bundles
- Separate runtime state from containers
- Terminate TLS at the public boundary
- Make startup dependencies and health explicit
Containers are most useful when they reinforce good service boundaries rather than merely packaging a monolith.
