mstrazds/nginx-php7 repository overview

⁠nginx-php7

A Nginx + PHP 7.2 (FPM) base container. Builds upon on the excellent phusion/baseimage-docker⁠ container. You can find the docker automated build here⁠.

⁠Services

All services are defined and managed using the phusion/baseimage methodology. Logs are output using syslog and can be accessed using docker logs {container}.

• Nginx
• PHP-FPM (7.2)
• NTPD
• New Relic APM (disabled)

⁠Default Settings

The container sets up a www root folder in the following location:

/var/www/public

As a final task a demo index.php is copied to this location.

⁠Web Root

The following folder is specified as the default root web folder:

/var/www/public

Note that the /var/www/public is the root folder for serving PHP files for your web server. The following ports are exposed:

• 80 (HTTP)
• 443 (HTTPS/SSL)

⁠SSL Self Signed Certificate

The image generates a self-signed certificate for each container within the folder:

/etc/nginx/certs.d/

During build the build/default file is used to copy and configure nginx default settings. This includes a cipher suite for legacy browser (IE8+) support. See: https://cipherli.st/⁠

⁠New Relic APM

Installs New Relic APM daemon on container startup⁠ to monitor the php application within the image. See this tutorial⁠ for more information.

The following environment variables are required in order to complete the New Relic configuration:

• NR_INSTALL_KEY 134adf09dsfblahsomething
• NR_APP_NAME "Docker PHP App Name"

If the NR_INSTALL_KEY New Relic will not be setup. By default this will prevent monitoring as the key is invalid until entered on startup. Eg:

docker run --name nginx -e NR_INSTALL_KEY="134adf09dsfblahsomething" -e NR_APP_NAME="nginx-test" -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -d mstrazds/nginx-php56:latest

⁠Build Folder (within repo)

Contains nginx config files as well as php-fpm settings. Also include setup.sh file that offloads tasks from the Dockerfile to reduce layers.

⁠Databases

This image supports mysql and postgres.

⁠Notes

Note that PHP-FPM has been configured to pass through environment variables when starting the container using the clear_env = no flag within the /etc/php7/fpm/pool.d/www.conf file.
