    image: jkaninda/laravel-php-fpm
    container_name: php-fpm
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./:/var/www/html
    networks:
      - default

  nginx-server:
    image: nginx:alpine
    container_name: nginx-server
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80
    volumes:
      - ./:/var/www/html
      - ./default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
    environment:
      - DOCUMENT_ROOT=/var/www/html/public
      - CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE=20M
      - PHP_FPM_HOST=php-fpm:9000
    networks:
      - default

Nginx Configuration (default.conf)

server {
    listen 80;
    index index.php index.html;
    root /var/www/html/public;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass php-fpm:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    }

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        gzip_static on;
    }

Custom Build

Dockerfile Example

FROM jkaninda/laravel-php-fpm:8.3
# Copy Laravel project files
COPY . /var/www/html

Supervisord Integration

Adding Custom Supervisor Processes

Place configurations in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/.
Example Kafka consumer process:

[program:kafkaconsume-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/artisan kafka:consumer
autostart=true
autorestart=true
numprocs=1
user=www-data
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/www/html/storage/logs/kafka.log

---

Custom PHP Configurations

Place your custom php.ini file at:

/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/

---

Storage Permissions Fix

If you encounter permission issues, run:

docker compose exec php-fpm /bin/bash
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/storage
