# Creating a Docker Image for PHP Stress Testing with Nginx

This guide details the steps to create a Docker image optimized for running PHP applications with Nginx. The provided configuration ensures compatibility with PHP 8.2 and includes essential settings for handling stress testing.

***

## **Nginx Configuration**

The Nginx configuration (`default`) is set up to serve PHP files and handle common web server scenarios. Below is the configuration file:

```nginx theme={null}
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name _;

    root /var/www/html;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

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

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }
}
```

***

## **Dockerfile**

The Dockerfile builds an image with the following characteristics:

* Base image: `ubuntu:latest`
* Installed software: PHP 8.2, Nginx, and essential PHP extensions.
* Configured to serve files from `/var/www/html`.
* Includes `php8.2-fpm` for PHP processing and a properly configured Nginx server.

Here is the Dockerfile:

```dockerfile theme={null}
# Start from Ubuntu base image
FROM ubuntu:latest

# Update package list and install necessary dependencies
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y curl gnupg2 ca-certificates lsb-release software-properties-common git && \
    apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install Nginx
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y nginx && \
    apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install PHP 8.2 and basic extensions
RUN add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php && \
    apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y php8.2 php8.2-fpm php8.2-mysql php8.2-xml php8.2-mbstring php8.2-curl php8.2-gd php8.2-zip php8.2-redis && \
    apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Copy Nginx Config
COPY default /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

# Set working directory
WORKDIR /var/www/html

# Copy application code
RUN rm -rf /var/www/html/*
COPY . /var/www/html/
RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/

# Expose ports
EXPOSE 80

# Start Nginx and PHP-FPM in the foreground
CMD service php8.2-fpm start && nginx -g 'daemon off;'
```

***

## **Building the Docker Image**

1. Place the `Dockerfile` and the `default` Nginx configuration file in the root of your application directory.

2. Run the following command to build the Docker image:

   ```bash theme={null}
   docker build -t stress-php-nginx .
   ```

3. Once the image is built, you can run a container using:

   ```bash theme={null}
   docker run -p 8080:80 stress-php-nginx
   ```

   Access the application at `http://localhost:8080`.

***

## **Conclusion**

This Docker image setup allows you to deploy a PHP application with Nginx seamlessly. It ensures compatibility with modern PHP versions and provides a robust environment for stress testing or general application hosting. For more resources, visit [docs.ahmadraza.in](https://docs.ahmadraza.in).
