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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

If you're looking to understand more the key differences with these PHP images, check out our documentation site.
