Selecting the right variation

There are 4 main variations.

CLI

If you need to run a quick command with composer or use PHP to run a CLI program only, this might be a great option for you.

FPM

The fpm variation is great for people who need to run a PHP "backend" if they already have a proxy serving static content. If you're using FPM only, that means you're probably at a larger scale.

FPM-Apache

The fpm-apache variation is meant for users who want to run something like WordPress with Docker. Apache is configured to be a "reverse proxy", which will serve any static content with Apache and serve any PHP requests with PHP-FPM.

FPM-NGINX

The fpm-nginx variation is great for people who want to run Laravel applications or similar. This allows you to serve static content quickly with NGINX but also pass PHP requests to PHP-FPM. This variation is great place to start if you're trying to containerize your application easily.
