# Configuration FrankenPHP, Caddy as well as the Mercure and Vulcain modules can be configured using [the formats supported by Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/getting-started#your-first-config). In the Docker image, the `Caddyfile` is located at `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile`. You can also configure PHP using `php.ini` as usual. In the Docker image, the `php.ini` file is not present, you can create it or `COPY` manually. If you copy `php.ini` from `$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini-production` or `$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini-development`, you also must set the variable `variables_order = "EGPCS"`, because the default value for `variables_order` is `"EGPCS"`, but in `php.ini-production` and `php.ini-development` we have `"GPCS"`. And in this case, `worker` does not work properly. ```dockerfile FROM dunglas/frankenphp RUN cp $PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini-production $PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini; \ sed -i 's/variables_order = "GPCS"/variables_order = "EGPCS"/' $PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini; ``` ## Caddyfile Config To register the FrankenPHP executor, the `frankenphp` [global option](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts#global-options) must be set, then the `php_server` or the `php` [HTTP directives](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts#directives) may be used within the site blocks to serve your PHP app. Minimal example: ```caddyfile { # Enable FrankenPHP frankenphp # Configure when the directive must be executed order php_server before file_server } localhost { # Enable compression (optional) encode zstd gzip # Execute PHP files in the current directory and serve assets php_server } ``` Optionally, the number of threads to create and [worker scripts](worker.md) to start with the server can be specified under the global option. ```caddyfile { frankenphp { num_threads # Sets the number of PHP threads to start. Default: 2x the number of available CPUs. worker { file # Sets the path to the worker script. num # Sets the number of PHP threads to start, defaults to 2x the number of available CPUs. env # Sets an extra environment variable to the given value. Can be specified more than once for multiple environment variables. } } } # ... ``` Alternatively, you may use the one-line short form of the `worker` option: ```caddyfile { frankenphp { worker } } # ... ``` You can also define multiple workers if you serve multiple apps on the same server: ```caddyfile { frankenphp { worker /path/to/app/public/index.php worker /path/to/other/public/index.php } } app.example.com { root * /path/to/app/public php_server } other.example.com { root * /path/to/other/public php_server } ... ``` Using the `php_server` directive is generaly what you need, but if you need full control, you can use the lower level `php` directive: Using the `php_server` directive is equivalent to this configuration: ```caddyfile route { # Add trailing slash for directory requests @canonicalPath { file {path}/index.php not path */ } redir @canonicalPath {path}/ 308 # If the requested file does not exist, try index files @indexFiles file { try_files {path} {path}/index.php index.php split_path .php } rewrite @indexFiles {http.matchers.file.relative} # FrankenPHP! @phpFiles path *.php php @phpFiles file_server } ``` The `php_server` and the `php` directives have the following options: ```caddyfile php_server [] { root # Sets the root folder to the site. Default: `root` directive. split_path # Sets the substrings for splitting the URI into two parts. The first matching substring will be used to split the "path info" from the path. The first piece is suffixed with the matching substring and will be assumed as the actual resource (CGI script) name. The second piece will be set to PATH_INFO for the CGI script to use. Default: `.php` resolve_root_symlink # Enables resolving the `root` directory to its actual value by evaluating a symbolic link, if one exists. env # Sets an extra environment variable to the given value. Can be specified more than once for multiple environment variables. } ``` ## Environment Variables The following environment variables can be used to inject Caddy directives in the `Caddyfile` without modifying it: * `SERVER_NAME` change the server name * `CADDY_GLOBAL_OPTIONS`: inject [global options](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/options) * `FRANKENPHP_CONFIG`: inject config under the `frankenphp` directive Unlike with FPM and CLI SAPIs, environment variables are **not** exposed by default in superglobals `$_SERVER` and `$_ENV`. To propagate environment variables to `$_SERVER` and `$_ENV`, set the `php.ini` `variables_order` directive to `EGPCS`. ## Enable the Debug Mode When using the Docker image, set the `CADDY_GLOBAL_OPTIONS` environment variable to `debug` to enable the debug mode: ```console docker run -v $PWD:/app/public \ -e CADDY_GLOBAL_OPTIONS=debug \ -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \ dunglas/frankenphp ```
