bitnami/php-fpmPHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites.
Overview of PHP-FPM Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.
consoledocker run -it --name phpfpm -v /path/to/app:/app bitnami/php-fpm
Those are hardened, minimal CVE images built and maintained by Bitnami. Bitnami Secure Images are based on the cloud-optimized, security-hardened enterprise OS Photon Linux. Why choose BSI images?
Each image comes with valuable security metadata. You can view the metadata in our public catalog here. Note: Some data is only available with commercial subscriptions to BSI.

If you are looking for our previous generation of images based on Debian Linux, please see the Bitnami Legacy registry.
This asset is available in two flavors: Standard and Minimal; designed to address different use cases and operational needs.
The standard images are full-featured, production-ready containers built on top of secure base operating systems. They include:
Recommended for:
The minimal images are optimized, distroless-style containers derived from a stripped-down base. They only ship what’s strictly necessary to run the application; no shell, package manager, or extra libraries. They provide:

Dockerfile linksLearn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.
You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the tags-info.yaml file present in the branch folder, i.e bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml.
Subscribe to project updates by watching the bitnami/containers GitHub repo.
The prod tags has been removed; from now on just the regular container images will be released.
The formatting convention for prod tags has been changed:
BRANCH-debian-10-prod is now tagged as BRANCH-prod-debian-10VERSION-debian-10-rX-prod is now tagged as VERSION-prod-debian-10-rXlatest-prod is now deprecatedThe recommended way to get the Bitnami PHP-FPM Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
consoledocker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/php-fpm:latest
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
consoledocker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/php-fpm:[TAG]
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the docker build command. Remember to replace the APP, VERSION and OPERATING-SYSTEM path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.
consolegit clone [***] cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM docker build -t REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/APP:latest .
This image is designed to be used with a web server to serve your PHP app, you can use docker networking to create a network and attach all the containers to that network.
We will use PHP-FPM with nginx to serve our PHP app. Doing so will allow us to setup more complex configuration, serve static assets using nginx, load balance to different PHP-FPM instances, etc.
consoledocker network create app-tier --driver bridge
or using Docker Compose:
yamlversion: '2' networks: app-tier: driver: bridge
Let's create an nginx server block to reverse proxy to our PHP-FPM container.
nginxserver { listen 0.0.0.0:80; server_name myapp.com; root /app; location / { try_files $uri $uri/index.php; } location ~ \.php$ { # fastcgi_pass [PHP_FPM_LINK_NAME]:9000; fastcgi_pass phpfpm:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi.conf; } }
Notice we've substituted the link alias name myapp, we will use the same name when creating the container.
Copy the server block above, saving the file somewhere on your host. We will mount it as a volume in our nginx container.
Docker's linking system uses container ids or names to reference containers. We can explicitly specify a name for our PHP-FPM server to make it easier to connect to other containers.
consoledocker run -it --name phpfpm \ --network app-tier -v /path/to/app:/app \ bitnami/php-fpm
or using Docker Compose:
yamlservices: phpfpm: image: REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/php-fpm:latest networks: - app-tier volumes: - /path/to/app:/app
consoledocker run -it \ -v /path/to/server_block.conf:/opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server_blocks/yourapp.conf \ --network app-tier \ bitnami/nginx
or using Docker Compose:
yamlservices: nginx: image: REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/nginx:latest depends_on: - phpfpm networks: - app-tier ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 volumes: - /path/to/server_block.conf:/opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server_blocks/yourapp.conf
Since this image bundles a PHP runtime, you may want to make use of PHP outside of PHP-FPM. By default, running this image will start a server. To use the PHP runtime instead, we can override the the default command Docker runs by stating a different command to run after the image name.
PHP provides a REPL where you can interactively test and try things out in PHP.
consoledocker run -it --name phpfpm bitnami/php-fpm php -a
Further Reading:
The default work directory for the PHP-FPM image is /app. You can mount a folder from your host here that includes your PHP script, and run it normally using the php command.
consoledocker run -it --name php-fpm -v /path/to/app:/app bitnami/php-fpm \ php script.php

You can mount a custom config file from your host to edit the default configuration for the php-fpm docker image. The following is an example to alter the configuration of the php-fpm.conf configuration file:
Run the PHP-FPM image, mounting a file from your host.
consoledocker run --name phpfpm -v /path/to/php-fpm.conf:/opt/bitnami/php/etc/php-fpm.conf bitnami/php-fpm
or by modifying the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:
yamlservices: phpfpm: ... volumes: - /path/to/php-fpm.conf:/opt/bitnami/php/etc/php-fpm.conf ...
Edit the configuration on your host using your favorite editor.
consolevi /path/to/php-fpm.conf
After changing the configuration, restart your PHP-FPM container for the changes to take effect.
consoledocker restart phpfpm
or using Docker Compose:
consoledocker-compose restart phpfpm
PHP has been configured at compile time to scan the /opt/bitnami/php/etc/conf.d/ folder for extra .ini configuration files so it is also possible to mount your customizations there.
Multiple files are loaded in alphabetical order. It is common to have a file per extension and use a numeric prefix to guarantee an order loading the configuration.
Please check [***] to know more about this feature.
In order to override the default max_file_uploads settings you can do the following:
Create a file called custom.ini with the following content:
configmax_file_uploads = 30M
Run the php-fpm container mounting the custom file.
consoledocker run -it -v /path/to/custom.ini:/opt/bitnami/php/etc/conf.d/custom.ini bitnami/php-fpm php -i | grep max_file_uploads
You should see that PHP is using the new specified value for the max_file_uploads setting.
The Bitnami PHP-FPM Docker image from the Bitnami Secure Images catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:
OPENSSL_FIPS: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. yes (default), no.The Bitnami PHP-FPM Docker Image sends the container logs to the stdout. You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver option. By defauly the json-file driver is used.
To view the logs:
consoledocker logs phpfpm
or using Docker Compose:
consoledocker-compose logs phpfpm
The docker logs command is only available when the json-file or journald logging driver is in use.
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of PHP-FPM, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.
consoledocker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/php-fpm:latest
or if you're using Docker Compose, update the value of the image property to
REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/php-fpm:latest.
Stop the currently running container using the command
consoledocker stop php-fpm
or using Docker Compose:
consoledocker-compose stop php-fpm
Next, take a snapshot of the persistent volume /path/to/php-fpm-persistence using:
consolersync -a /path/to/php-fpm-persistence /path/to/php-fpm-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)
You can use this snapshot to restore the database state should the upgrade fail.
consoledocker rm -v phpfpm
or using Docker Compose:
consoledocker-compose rm -v phpfpm
Re-create your container from the new image.
consoledocker run --name phpfpm REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/php-fpm:latest
or using Docker Compose:
consoledocker-compose up phpfpm
/opt/bitnami/php/etc/conf.d/ folder for extra .ini configuration files./bitnami/php-fpm. Now you only need to mount a single volume at /bitnami/php-fpm for persistence.stdout and are no longer collected in the volume.php.ini is now exposed in the volume mounted at /bitnami/php-fpm/conf/ allowing users to change the defaults as per their requirements./app directory is no longer exported as a volume. This caused problems when building on top of the image, since changes in the volume are not persisted between Dockerfile RUN instructions. To keep the previous behavior (so that you can mount the volume in another container), create the container with the -v /app option.docker-compose.yamlPlease be aware this file has not undergone internal testing. Consequently, we advise its use exclusively for development or testing purposes.
