Where are dockerfiles php and ngnix based on?

[mikeerickson]

@fideloper I am curious to see what is done to generate the php and nginx images which exist on dockerhub. Are they the same as the official versions, or do they perform different tasks? Seeing as the PHP image is quite "dated" (at least two years) I am guessing they are not using the latest PHP versions.

Hi!

The dockerfiles used in this project are based on the official images:

• ubuntu:18.04 into which Nginx + PHP is installed
• node:latest
• mysql:5.7

You can generally find links to the github projects that the official images use to build the images. (I don't see any that appear to be particular old - where did you look to see those?). In particular the official PHP images have tags for the latest versions of PHP: https://hub.docker.com/_/php (altho no 7.4 betas yet)

In the docs (readme) for the official PHP image you can find the official PHP image build files: https://github.com/docker-library/php/

Let me know if I'm missing the mark on your question, however.
