Available Architectures: amd64, arm64
This repository will provide you fully functional PHP-FPM Docker images in different flavours, versions and packed with different types of integrated PHP modules. It also solves the problem of syncronizing file permissions of mounted volumes between the host and the container.
ℹ️ For details see Documentation: Syncronize File Permissions
This repository also allows you to quickly generate and build your own custom PHP-FPM Docker image with whatever PHP extension your desire for whatever PHP version you want and for any platform you're on (amd64 or arm64). Jump to #Build your own image.

Have a look at the following table to see all offered exposed ports for each Docker image flavour.
| Flavour | Port | Description |

PHP-FPM listening port |
Each PHP version is using the same sane default php.ini values, making it pain-free to switch versions and not having to worry about different php.ini settings. Note: Flavours alway inherit the settings from its parent flavour if they have no own configuration.
| Flavour | Applied php.ini files |
|---|---|
| base | php.ini and php-fpm.conf |
| mods | inherits from base |
| prod | inherits from base |
| slim | php.ini and php-fpm.conf |
| work | inherits from slim |
If you plan to use the PHP-FPM image for development, hence being able to execute common commands inside the container itself, you should go with the work Image.
The work Docker image has many common tools already installed which on one hand increases its image size, but on the other hand removes the necessity to install those tools locally.
You want to use tools such as angular-cli, codeception, composer, deployer, eslint, git, grunt-cli, gulp, laravel-installer, node, npm, nvm, phalcon-devtools, phpcs, phpunit, pm2, symfony-cli, tig, vue, webpack-cli, wp-cli, yarn, yq, zsh as well as many others, simply do it directly inside the container. As all Docker images are auto-built every night by GitHub Actions it is assured that you are always at the latest version of your favorite dev tool.
ℹ️ For details see Documentation: Available Tools
Apart from the provided tools, you will also be able to use the container similar as you would do with your host system. Just a few things to mention here:
- Mount custom bash configuration files so your config persists between restarts
- Use password-less
sudoto become root and do whatever you need to do
docker run -d -it \
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-proddocker run -d -it \
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
-e TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-prodconfig/ is a local directory that will hold the PHP *.ini files you want to load into the Docker container.
# Create config directory to be mounted with dummy configuration
mkdir config
# Xdebug 2
echo "xdebug.enable = 1" > config/xdebug.ini
# Xdebug 3
echo "xdebug.mode = debug" > config/xdebug.ini
# Run container and mount it
docker run -d -it \
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
-v config:/etc/php-custom.d \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-prodForward MySQL Port from 172.168.0.30 (or any other IP address/hostname) and Port 3306 to the PHP docker on 127.0.0.1:3306. By this, your PHP files inside the docker can use 127.0.0.1 to connect to a MySQL database.
docker run -d -it \
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
-e FORWARD_PORTS_TO_LOCALHOST='3306:172.168.0.30:3306' \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-prodForward MySQL Port from 172.168.0.30:3306 and Redis port from redis:6379 to the PHP docker on 127.0.0.1:3306 and 127.0.0.1:6379. By this, your PHP files inside the docker can use 127.0.0.1 to connect to a MySQL or Redis database.
docker run -d -it \
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
-e FORWARD_PORTS_TO_LOCALHOST='3306:172.168.0.30:3306, 6379:redis:6379' \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-prodOnce you set $ENABLE_MAIL=2, all mails sent via any of your PHP applications no matter to which domain, are catched locally into the devilbox account. You can also mount the mail directory locally to hook in with mutt and read those mails.
docker run -d -it \
-p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
-v /tmp/mail:/var/mail \
-e ENABLE_MAIL=2 \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-prod~/my-host-www will be the directory that serves the php files (your document root). Make sure to mount it into both, php and the webserver.
# Start PHP-FPM container
docker run -d -it \
-v ~/my-host-www:/var/www/default/htdocs \
--name php \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-prod
# Start webserver and link with PHP-FPM
docker run -d -it \
-p 80:80 \
-v ~/my-host-www:/var/www/default/htdocs \
-e PHP_FPM_ENABLE=1 \
-e PHP_FPM_SERVER_ADDR=php \
-e PHP_FPM_SERVER_PORT=9000 \
--link php \
devilbox/nginx-mainlineNote: This will only work with work Docker images.
The MySQL server could be another Docker container linked to the PHP-FPM container. Let's assume the PHP-FPM container is able to access the MySQL container by the hostname mysql.
# Start container
docker run -d -it \
-e MYSQL_BACKUP_USER=root \
-e MYSQL_BACKUP_PASS=somepass \
-e MYSQL_BACKUP_HOST=mysql \
-v ~/backups:/shared/backups \
--name php \
devilbox/php-fpm:7.2-work
# Run database dump
docker exec -it php mysqldump-secure

Docker images are built and tested every night by GitHub Actions and pushed to Docker hub on success. This is all done automatically to ensure that sources as well as base images are always fresh and in case of security updates always have the latest patches.
You are not interested in the provided Docker images and want to (ab)use this repository purely to generate your own custom images? You can do so with three easy commands:
# Generate Dockerfiles with only the following PHP extensions present
make gen-dockerfiles MODS="msgpack memcached pdo_mysql rdkafka"
# Pull base image for PHP 8.1 (if you don't have it locally already)
make docker-pull-base-image STAGE=mods VERSION=8.1 ARCH=linux/arm64
# Build PHP 8.1 for arm64 with above specified extensions
make build STAGE=mods VERSION=8.1 ARCH=linux/arm64ℹ️ For details see Abuser Documentation: Build your own image
