Docker Alpine PHP
A very small Docker image to bootstrap your PHP development.
Why this image?
Of course, there are official PHP images but the size looks a little big for my development machine, and I also prefer some customization on my builds.
In addition, I sometimes want to quickly run a small PHP script, so I don't really need that big-in-size official images.
The size-differences illustrated below:
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
petehouston/docker-alpine-php 5.5 76642fdcb40d 5 hours ago 136.4 MB
petehouston/docker-alpine-php 5.6 d4a16ab8659b 6 hours ago 137.2 MB
petehouston/docker-alpine-php 7.0 5a2b3687d124 9 hours ago 138.5 MB
petehouston/docker-alpine-php 7.4 5add74c7f4b2 4 hours ago 82.7MB
php 7.0-alpine 562f31e64296 12 days ago 382.9 MB
php 5.6-alpine 7bc0403e7fa9 12 days ago 334.7 MB
php 5.5-alpine 76323652d59f 12 days ago 330.8 MB
As you can see, the difference is around 2.5-3 times.
