Docker PHP-FPM & Nginx on Alpine Linux

Example PHP-FPM & Nginx setup for Docker, build on Alpine Linux. The image is only +/- 35MB large.

Built on the lightweight and secure Alpine Linux distribution
Very small Docker image size (+/-35MB)
Uses latest PHP version for better performance, lower CPU usage & memory footprint
Optimized for 100 concurrent requests (optimized for container with limit 0.25 vcpu, 512 mb)
Optimized for building micro RESTful API
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 to your needs
