php-app

Docker image for running PHP apps in a single container with nginx and PHP-fpm

Components

The image consists of:

• multirun - Small util for executing multiple processes with proper signal handling
• PHP 8 FPM - Execution of PHP files
• nginx - Serve evaluated files from FPM

PHP 8 extensions that are common are also pre-installed:

• mysqli
• freetype
• pdo_mysql
• opcache

Ports

• 8080: HTTP-Server

Usage

Basic

For basic usage with no further extensions, you just copy your sources to /app

FROM timoreymann/php-app
COPY --chown=application:application ./code /app

Build your image with sources and install composer dependencies

When you use composer for external dependencies you can easily install them in the build process.

The composer-install script downloads the installer from GitHub, installs the depencies and removes the phar file.

FROM timoreymann/php-app
WORKDIR /app
COPY --chown=application:application ./code ./
RUN composer-install

Configure index.php for PHP-based routing

When you build a modern web app with PHP, chances are high that you will have routing within your index.php. To make it work, nginx needs to route all requests to the index.php, if the file does not exist in the webroot (e.g. assets).

FROM timoreymann/php-app
WORKDIR /app
COPY --chown=application:application ./code ./
RUN composer-install && configure-index-rewrite
