Example PHP-FPM 7.4 & Nginx 1.18 setup for Docker, build on Alpine Linux. The image is only +/- 35MB large.
Repository: https://github.com/amitsdalal/alpine-nginx-php
- Built on the lightweight and secure Alpine Linux distribution
- Very small Docker image size (+/-35MB)
- Uses PHP 7.4 for better performance, lower cpu usage & memory footprint
- Optimized for 100 concurrent users
- Optimized to only use resources when there's traffic (by using PHP-FPM's ondemand PM)
- The servers 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
Start the Docker container:
docker run -d -p 80:8080 amitdalal/alpine-nginx-php
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 -d -p 80:8080 -v ~/my-codebase:/var/www/html amitdalal/alpine-nginx-php
