Example PHP-FPM 8.3 & Nginx 1.24 container image for Docker, built on Alpine Linux.
Repository: https://github.com/TrafeX/docker-php-nginx
- Built on the lightweight and secure Alpine Linux distribution
- Multi-platform, supporting AMD4, ARMv6, ARMv7, ARM64
- Very small Docker image size (+/-40MB)
- Uses PHP 8.3 for the best performance, low CPU usage & memory footprint
- Optimized for 100 concurrent users
- Optimized to only use resources when there's traffic (by using PHP-FPM's
on-demandprocess manager) - The services Nginx, PHP-FPM and supervisord run under a non-privileged user (nobody) to make it more secure
- The logs of all the services are redirected to the output of the Docker container (visible with
docker logs -f <container name>) - Follows the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid) to make it easy to understand and adjust the image to your needs
I can help you with Containerization, Kubernetes, Monitoring, Infrastructure as Code and other DevOps challenges.
The goal of this container image is to provide an example for running Nginx and PHP-FPM in a container which follows the best practices and is easy to understand and modify to your needs.
Start the Docker container:
docker run -p 80:8080 trafex/php-nginx
See the PHP info on http://localhost, or the static html page on http://localhost/test.html
Or mount your own code to be served by PHP-FPM & Nginx
docker run -p 80:8080 -v ~/my-codebase:/var/www/html trafex/php-nginx
In config/ you'll find the default configuration files for Nginx, PHP and PHP-FPM. If you want to extend or customize that you can do so by mounting a configuration file in the correct folder;
Nginx configuration:
docker run -v "`pwd`/nginx-server.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/server.conf" trafex/php-nginx
PHP configuration:
docker run -v "`pwd`/php-setting.ini:/etc/php83/conf.d/settings.ini" trafex/php-nginx
PHP-FPM configuration:
docker run -v "`pwd`/php-fpm-settings.conf:/etc/php83/php-fpm.d/server.conf" trafex/php-nginx
Note; Because -v requires an absolute path I've added pwd in the example to return the absolute path to the current directory
