2. Nginx configuration is shaped for PHP fpm needs

Date: 2018-09-10

Status

Accepted

Context

Nginx is a webserver which can work on many ways, from proxy, to reverse proxy, load balancer and traditional web server. We need a configuration which suits the need for PHP fpm under sockets

Decision

The default configuration and custom variables will be shaped for PHP fpm needs, allowing an easy plug-and-play for these kind of projects. This includes using a shared PHP fpm socket under /var/run.

Consequences

The known consequences are:

  • A shared volume between PHP fpm and Nginx containers must be created, impacting Docker Compose, kubernetes or any other orchestration tools of these images. Also making local Docker run less trivial to work.
  • Nginx by default will not have access to PHP code, meaning you can't serve static files via the nginx container.
  • All requests are redirected to the fpm container, even the most trivial ones i.e.: favicon.png
  • Any customization of the items above will have to replace the whole vhost.conf, which will have to live in the project's repository and be maintained there. Thus we can't guarantee the tests here are covering the custom usage of the images.
