Docker Nginx PHP

Docker Repository - bfren ecosystem

Nginx plus PHP (7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3) - no SSL support etc, designed to be used behind a proxy server. Minimal PHP packages are installed:

• php

• php-fpm
• php-session

Nginx is setup by default to run PHP in FPM mode. To override values in www.conf map a www-conf.json file to root - see www-conf-sample.json. Values in the php.ini file can be overridden in the same way - see Docker PHP for more information and a sample file.
