FrankenPHP Docker images are based on official PHP images. Alpine Linux and Debian variants are provided for popular architectures. Variants for PHP 8.2 and PHP 8.3 are provided. Browse tags.
Create a Dockerfile
in your project:
FROM dunglas/frankenphp
COPY . /app/public
Then, run the commands to build and run the Docker image:
docker build -t my-php-app .
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-php-app
The docker-php-extension-installer
script is provided in the base image.
Adding additional PHP extensions is straightforward:
FROM dunglas/frankenphp
# add additional extensions here:
RUN install-php-extensions \
pdo_mysql \
gd \
intl \
zip \
opcache
FrankenPHP is built on top of Caddy, and all Caddy modules can be used with FrankenPHP.
The easiest way to install custom Caddy modules is to use xcaddy:
FROM dunglas/frankenphp:latest-builder AS builder
# Copy xcaddy in the builder image
COPY --from=caddy:builder /usr/bin/xcaddy /usr/bin/xcaddy
# CGO must be enabled to build FrankenPHP
ENV CGO_ENABLED=1 XCADDY_SETCAP=1 XCADDY_GO_BUILD_FLAGS="-ldflags '-w -s'"
RUN xcaddy build \
--output /usr/local/bin/frankenphp \
--with github.com/dunglas/frankenphp=./ \
--with github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/caddy=./caddy/ \
# Mercure and Vulcain are included in the official build, but feel free to remove them
--with github.com/dunglas/mercure/caddy \
--with github.com/dunglas/vulcain/caddy
# Add extra Caddy modules here
FROM dunglas/frankenphp AS runner
# Replace the official binary by the one contained your custom modules
COPY --from=builder /usr/local/bin/frankenphp /usr/local/bin/frankenphp
The builder
image provided by FrankenPHP contains a compiled version of libphp.
Builders images are provided for all versions of FrankenPHP and PHP, both for Alpine and Debian.
[!TIP]
If you're using Alpine Linux and Symfony, you may need to increase the default stack size.
Set the FRANKENPHP_CONFIG
environment variable to start FrankenPHP with a worker script:
FROM dunglas/frankenphp
# ...
ENV FRANKENPHP_CONFIG="worker ./public/index.php"
To develop easily with FrankenPHP, mount the directory from your host containing the source code of the app as a volume in the Docker container:
docker run -v $PWD:/app/public -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 443:443/udp --tty my-php-app
![TIP]
The
--tty
option allows to have nice human-readable logs instead of JSON logs.
With Docker Compose:
# compose.yaml
services:
php:
image: dunglas/frankenphp
# uncomment the following line if you want to use a custom Dockerfile
#build: .
# uncomment the following line if you want to run this in a production environment
# restart: always
ports:
- "80:80" # HTTP
- "443:443" # HTTPS
- "443:443/udp" # HTTP/3
volumes:
- ./:/app/public
- caddy_data:/data
- caddy_config:/config
# comment the following line in production, it allows to have nice human-readable logs in dev
tty: true
# Volumes needed for Caddy certificates and configuration
volumes:
caddy_data:
caddy_config:
FrankenPHP can run as non root user in Docker.
Here is a sample Dockerfile
doing this:
FROM dunglas/frankenphp
ARG USER=www-data
USER ${USER}
RUN adduser -D ${USER} \
# Caddy requires an additional capability to bind to port 80 and 443
setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /usr/local/bin/frankenphp
# Caddy requires write access to /data/caddy and /config/caddy
RUN chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /data/caddy && chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /config/caddy
