I’m currently migrating all my stuff to docker :) working quite well so far but my Webserver (caddy) is driving me crazy

What's up? Maybe we can help?

I can’t figure out how to get php running in the Linux container. Up to now, i‘ve been using caddy on a windows server vm where I can specify the port for php-fpm which doesn’t work on Linux. I tried to use the unix socket but that’s not available either.
The base image is abiosoft\caddy just in case that helps anyone

PHP should be in the path. Errors and logs expedite interwebs debugging 😀

Well it is. I can use the php and php-fpm commands but when I want to host multiple sites in one container, I get an error message that phpfpm is not reachable

@dsteiner eh multiple websites? isn't the idea of docker that you do just one thing per container? it's not meant to treat it like a hypervisor vm?

@heyheni it is. But a even the smallest container needs resources and it’s pretty much waste of disk space and ram to run multiple instances of a Webserver for somewhat like 5 small websites with less than 100 DAUs (combined)

@dsteiner then use the webserver as a reverse proxy with the fastcgi interface?

Don't run multiple websites in one php fpm conainer, makes it unscalable.

Also, why not nginx?

@alexbrooklyn hm... that could work. And I am using caddy because I prefer it over nginx

@alexbrooklyn I've been thinking about that aprorach for some time (speak hours) now and thats propably what I am going to do. after a short google search, i found a nice reverse proxy image based on docker which listens to labels (similar to how traefik works).

Okay fuck traefik. It randomly switches from working to 403‘s 😡
