FrankenPHP: Modern App Server for PHP

FrankenPHP

FrankenPHP is a modern application server for PHP built on top of the Caddy web server.

FrankenPHP gives superpowers to your PHP apps thanks to its stunning features: Early Hints, worker mode, real-time capabilities, automatic HTTPS, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 support...

FrankenPHP works with any PHP app and makes your Laravel and Symfony projects faster than ever thanks to their official integrations with the worker mode.

FrankenPHP can also be used as a standalone Go library to embed PHP in any app using net/http.

Getting Started

Docker

docker run -v .:/app/public \
    -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 443:443/udp \
    dunglas/frankenphp

Go to https://localhost, and enjoy!

Tip

Do not attempt to use https://127.0.0.1. Use https://localhost and accept the self-signed certificate. Use the SERVER_NAME environment variable to change the domain to use.
