Available Docker Images

This is a list of the docker images this repository creates:

⚙️ Variation	🚀 Version
cli
fpm
fpm-apache
fpm-nginx

Usage

Simply use this image name pattern in any of your projects:

serversideup/php:{{version}}-{{variation-name}}

For example... If I wanted to run PHP 8.0 with FPM + NGINX, I would use this image:

serversideup/php:8.0-fpm-nginx

Real-life working example

You can see a bigger picture on how these images are used from Development to Production by viewing this video that shows a high level overview how we deploy "ROAST" which is a demo production app for our book.

Why these images and not other ones?

These images have a few key differences. These images are:

🚀 These images are used in production

Our philosophy is: What you run in production is what you should be running in development.

You'd be shocked how many people create a Docker image and use it in the local development only. These images are designed with the intention of being deployed to the open and wild Internet.

🧐 Based off of S6 Overlay

S6 Overlay is very helpful in managing a container's lifecycle that has multiple processes.

Wait... Isn't Docker supposed to be a "single process per container"? Yes, that's what it's like in a perfect world. Unfortunately PHP isn't like that. You need both a web server and a PHP-FPM server to see your files in order for your application to load.

We follow the S6 Overlay Philosophy on how we can still get a single, disposable, and repeatable image of our application out to our servers.
