This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and running the Terraform-based multi-container Docker environment with NGINX as a load balancer.
Clone the project repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/DanorSODA/TerraForm-Single-File-Docker
cd TerraForm-Single-File-DockerThe project includes an install.sh script that automates dependency installation, SSL certificate generation, and Terraform initialization.
Run the script as root or with sudo:
sudo ./install.shThis script performs the following:
1.Installs Docker: If Docker is not already installed, the script installs it. 2.Installs Docker Compose: Downloads and sets up Docker Compose if it's missing. 3.Installs Terraform: Adds HashiCorp's repository and installs Terraform. 4.Generates SSL Certificates: Creates an SSL certificate and key under the ssl/ directory for NGINX. 5.Initializes Terraform: Runs terraform init to initialize the environment.
Once the setup completes, you can use Terraform to deploy the Docker environment. This command will set up the NGINX and app containers, establish a Docker network, and apply SSL settings.
terraform apply- Review the proposed changes and type yes to confirm the deployment.
After the deployment completes, Terraform will output the IP address of the NGINX container.
To remove the Docker containers and network, run:
terraform destroyConfirm the action by typing yes. This will stop and remove the containers, network, and any associated resources created by Terraform.
