See also the base image⁠.

⁠Environment variables

The image supports the use of the following two environment variables to adjust the timezone. This is useful to ensure the logs show the correct local time.

• TZ
• PHP_TZ

⁠Volumes

It is recommended to use a tmpfs for /run and /tmp. /var/lib/unit can contain larger files during caching or uploads, so best leave this as a regular volume. Attach your PHP application into /var/www/public.

If your application can be separated into a public and a non-public part, attach it to /var/www instead and ensure the public bits live in a folder called public. This is typically used to separate static files (CSS, ECMAscripts, images, fonts) and the index.php entrypoint from PHP libraries and (uploaded) files that should not be directly accessible for security reasons.

• /run: PID files and sockets
• /tmp: temporary data of PHP (i.e. sessions)
• /var/lib/unit: temporary data of nginx unit (i.e. uploads, large responses)
• /var/www/public or /var/www: contents of your PHP application - owner 100, group 82, mode 0750

⁠Network ports

• 8080/tcp: HTTP
