⁠Docker PHP-FPM 7.3 & Nginx 1.16 on Alpine Linux

Example PHP-FPM 7.3 & Nginx 1.16 setup for Docker, build on Alpine Linux⁠. The image is only +/- 35MB large.

Repository: https://github.com/erseco/alpine-php7-webserver⁠

• Built on the lightweight and secure Alpine Linux distribution
• Very small Docker image size (+/-35MB)
• Uses PHP 7.3 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)
• Use of runit instead of supervisord to reduce memory footprint
• The servers Nginx, PHP-FPM 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
• Also availabe in Apache flavour: erseco/alpine-php7-webserver:apache

⁠Usage

Start the Docker container:

docker run -p 80:8080 erseco/alpine-php7-webserver

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 -p 80:8080 -v ~/my-codebase:/var/www/html erseco/alpine-php7-webserver

⁠Configuration

In config/⁠ you'll find the default configuration files for Nginx, PHP and PHP-FPM. If you want to extend or customize that you can do so by mounting a configuration file in the correct folder;

Nginx configuration:

docker run -v "`pwd`/nginx-server.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/server.conf" erseco/alpine-php7-webserver

PHP configuration:

docker run -v "`pwd`/php-setting.ini:/etc/php7/conf.d/settings.ini" erseco/alpine-php7-webserver

PHP-FPM configuration:

docker run -v "`pwd`/php-fpm-settings.conf:/etc/php7/php-fpm.d/server.conf" erseco/alpine-php7-webserver

Note; Because -v requires an absolute path I've added pwd in the example to return the absolute path to the current directory

⁠Adding composer

If you need composer in your project, here's an easy way to add it;

FROM erseco/alpine-php7-webserver:latest

# Install composer from the official image
COPY --from=composer /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer

# Run composer install to install the dependencies
RUN composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-interaction --no-progress
