A lightweight Docker image combining PHP-FPM 8.5 and Nginx on Alpine Linux, around 40MB in size. It runs services as a non-privileged user, supports multiple CPU architectures, and is designed to be simple to understand and customize.

Use cases

• run a php web app in docker
• small nginx php-fpm container image
• host a php website on alpine linux
• serve php with nginx in a container
• lightweight docker base image for php apps
• multi-arch php docker image for arm

When to choose

• you need a tiny, secure PHP-FPM + Nginx container for a PHP application
• you want a simple, well-maintained Alpine-based image that is easy to customize
• you need multi-architecture support including ARM devices
• you want a KISS example of running Nginx and PHP-FPM together in one container

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured stack with databases, queues, or other services included
• you prefer separate Nginx and PHP-FPM containers orchestrated with Compose or Kubernetes
• your app requires PHP extensions not bundled in the image and heavy customization
• you need a framework-specific image with composer and dev tooling preinstalled
