Docker for PHP Developers
Docker has revolutionized how we develop and deploy PHP applications. Here are some best practices to follow.
1. Use Official Base Images
Always start with official PHP images from Docker Hub.
2. Multi-stage Builds
Use multi-stage builds to keep your production images small and secure.
3. Composer
Install Composer dependencies during build time, not runtime.
4. Environment Variables
Use .env files for development and proper secrets management for production.
