Nginx image

[schmunk42]

Since we're providing a specific Apache configuration and FPM would require a specific configuration for a webserver, very often nginx - we should think about providing such an image also.

[samdark]

Not really. FPM exposes itself either via socket and via port. nginx can read config parts from externally mounted FS so I don't see a technical reason why these two should reside in a single image.

nginx can read config parts from externally mounted FS

That's a huge NO-NO in production with Docker, btw.

I don't mean to put them on the same image, but to provide at least an example how to build one.

[samdark]

I've heard otherwise. There are many ways of get external FS into container. I didn't mean exactly mounting.

I've heard otherwise. There are many ways of get external FS into container.

You mean clustered filesystems with named volumes? Please share some details.

This is a matter of documentation. I agree to @samdark that we don't need a Nginx image. We can include a simple nginx.conf in a docs directory. Or maybe simply have it in the README. We should leave decisions like the above to the developer and only provide a simple example.

Something like this:

https://github.com/codemix/yii2-dockerized/blob/master/nginx/nginx.conf

Coupled with a docker-compose.yml example for how to wire up the app container with the nginx container.

[mikehaertl]

Even more condensed, it's all about how to configure the Nginx image to include this config:

server {
    server_name www.example.com;
    charset UTF-8;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/www.example.com.error.log;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_read_timeout 30;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
    }
}

Creating a dedicate image for this is out of the scope of this project. Most devs may also want to tweak this config a little.

We're running nginx via forego like so https://github.com/dmstr/docker-php-yii2/blob/release/4.x/nginx/Dockerfile-fpm-nginx

This has to be proven a very stable setup. Although forego is not very actively maintained it's still a very solid tool.

Having nginx in a separate container creates much more issues (ie. assets) than it solves, although it's "the Docker-way". But most other web-applications (in other languages) don't split that also.

I'd recommend to create a fpm-nginx flavour.

Hi!

I have a small problem with the image installing. I need a php 5.6 based yii2 docker image, to run a webserver on it, but in the docker-compose build command give an error:

checking Check for supported PHP versions... configure: error: not supported. Need a PHP version >= 7.0.0 and < 7.3.0 (found 5.6.40) ERROR: Service 'php' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c cd /tmp && git clone git://github.com/xdebug/xdebug.git && cd xdebug && git checkout 2.7.0beta1 && phpize && ./configure --enable-xdebug && make && make install && rm -rf /tmp/xdebug' returned a non-zero code: 1

Could anyone help for me, please?

[schmunk42]

Try an Apache 5.6 from here: https://hub.docker.com/r/yiisoftware/yii2-php/tags

[lyt8384]

so..will nginx image be provided? 😊

[schmunk42]

Do the ones from here https://github.com/dmstr/docker-php-yii2 work for you?

There's another image inbetween, but basically they are built upon the images from here.

We could add https://github.com/dmstr/docker-php-yii2/tree/master/nginx to this repo. CC: @yiisoft/core-developers

[lyt8384]

yes.it`s can achieved,but not official.

[schmunk42]

I've added an nginx flavour.
