🐳 Docker Host-Like Environment

📋 Overview

This project demonstrates my journey in creating a sophisticated Docker container environment that mimics a traditional host setup. Through this implementation, I've developed a deep understanding of containerization principles and multi-service orchestration using Docker. The environment runs multiple services (Nginx, MySQL) managed by Supervisord, showcasing practical containerization skills in a real-world scenario.

🏗 Technical Architecture

The project implements a layered architecture where multiple services coexist within a single container, managed by Supervisord as the process manager.
