2. Install Nginx
3. Configure Nginx with hardened vhost settings
4. Install PHP
5. Configure PHP
6. Install WordPress
7. Install Docker

Prerequisites

• Ansible (version 2.9+)

Getting Started

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/ansible-wordpress-nginx-docker.git
cd ansible-wordpress-nginx-docker

Update the inventory/target.ini file with the correct information for your target Ubuntu machine:
