## What it is
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
