Example PHP Project

This is an example project made to show how to setup a PHP project to be run through either Docker Compose or Kubernetes. It uses Nginx as a loadbalancer which forwards PHP requests to a PHP FPM container.

Both are setup in pretty similar ways, but there are differences.

When we run the project through docker-compose up, we start two containers:

  • app (our PHP-FPM container)
  • loadbalancer (our nginx container)

These use the official images from Nginx and PHP-FPM which we then mount our configuration and source code into using volumes.

When we run skaffold run -p local to deploy the project to Kubernetes using the local profile, it builds two docker images prior to deployment:

  • app-backend
  • app-loadbalancer

These will copy our configuration as well as the source code into the images and then use these images in our deployment. If we use skaffold dev -plocal these images will be rebuilt everytime our configuration or source code changes.
