What is it?

phpqa is a Docker image that packages a large set of PHP quality tools, including PHPStan, Psalm, PHP_CodeSniffer, PHP-CS-Fixer, PHPMD, PHPUnit, Rector and Deptrac. The image is built from the jakzal/toolbox repository, which manages the tool list and installer.

Running a tool means mounting your project into the container with a volume flag and calling the tool by name, for example `phpqa phpstan analyse src`. The image is published in Debian and Alpine variants and for several PHP versions, with tags pinned to specific releases or updated daily.

The image lists its available tools when run with no arguments, and it includes a cookbook with usage tips. Tools that are not bundled, such as exakat, are noted with instructions for running them separately.

Key features

  • 01Bundles dozens of PHP static analysis, linting, testing and refactoring tools in one image.
  • 02Provides Debian and Alpine base images for several PHP versions.
  • 03Runs tools against a mounted project directory without local installation.
  • 04Offers pinned, patch-level and daily-updated image tags.
  • 05Lists available tools when run with no arguments.

Use cases

  • Running PHPStan or Psalm in CI without setting up PHP on the build agent.
  • Checking coding standards with PHP-CS-Fixer or PHP_CodeSniffer across a team with different local setups.
  • Trying out several PHP analysis tools on a project before choosing which to adopt.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Pick an image tag such as latest or php8.5 from the Docker Hub repository

  2. 2

    Run the image with Docker to use the bundled PHP tools

Things to know

  • Requires Docker to be installed, and the tools only run inside the container.
  • Some tools are not available for every PHP version, for example phpcov and phpcpd are missing for PHP 8.3.
