Apache please?

Is it possible to support an apache image? Is mybb apache compatible? this way, no nginx is needed.
MyBB is completely compatible with Apache. Nginx is only used for this image as it is lighter weight (and faster in most cases) than Apache.
It's also worth noting that this Docker image should be considered alpha/experimental software - and shouldn't be used in a production environment unless you're extremely experienced with both Docker and MyBB. I personally use this setup only for testing PRs and plugins since I find it easier than alternative methods of creating a MyBB development environment.
With 50k+ Downloads, I am very certain that this is used in production and we use it in production too. It is the highest ranking image you can find on docker hub for mybb. I wasn't aware of any performance impact with apache vs fpm with nginx.
I wanted to use traefik to manage my reverse proxy, not nginx. But Traefik is not built to replace php/apache. It just routes containers to specific rules like host, pathprefix, etc.
I would be already happy with php executables built-in webserver (php -S 0.0.0.0:80)
I don't really grasp why FPM is a good fit for something that you want to access via a webserver anyway.
FPM provides no direct entry to the files via HTTP - right?
Thank you for your advice and for sharing this docker image!
I've just had a super brief look, and it looks like Apache can talk to PHP-FPM: https://www.interserver.net/tips/kb/apache-php-fpm-ubuntu-18-04/
I only use Nginx myself, so can't tell if these instructions are current or anything, and have no experience with Traefik.
thank you, I will read through this. Thank you for the input
