⁠Docker PHP-FPM 7.4 & Nginx 1.18 on Alpine Linux

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

⁠Usage

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
