Working with nginx + php7-fpm

First start a PHP container: docker run -itd –restart=always -v /data/shared/run:/run -v /data/www:/data/www -v /data/shared/ssmtp:/etc/ssmtp --name php7-fpm mbentley/php7-fpm

I use a volume to /data/shared/run on the host and then I also use a volume to /data/www on the host. /data/shared/run will get the UNIX socket as it is mapped to /run. I use /data/www so that php5-fpm has access to the files it needs to process requests.

Now for my nginx container: docker run -itd -p 80 –restart=always -v /data/shared/run:/run -v /data/www:/data/www -v /data/shared/nginx/my-custom-nginx-conf:/etc/nginx/sites-available/default --name my-site mbentley/nginx

I need to present /data/shared/run as a volume so that nginx can read the UNIX socket (see my php.conf in mbentley/nginx which adds all of the necessary bits for PHP by including a single file). I also add in my /data/www directory which shares my site's code for nginx.

Now you should be able to hit nginx and PHP pages will work. I'm using this method for a small number of sites and it's working great.
