What is it?

serversideup/php builds on the official PHP images and fills in what production deployments usually need: it runs as an unprivileged user rather than root, ships Composer and common extensions, and exposes PHP settings through environment variables so you can avoid hand-written configuration files.

Images come in five variations — cli, fpm, fpm-apache, fpm-nginx and frankenphp — covering PHP 8.2 through 8.5 on both Debian and Alpine bases, published to Docker Hub and GitHub Packages. Laravel-specific automation handles database migrations, queues, Horizon and the storage link.

They also include native health checks, S6 Overlay process management, unified logging and Cloudflare support.
