PHP 8.3 + MariaDB

PHP 8.3 with MariaDB, the general-purpose Stack for custom PHP applications.

PHP 8.3 brings stricter typing, readonly properties, enumerations and significant performance improvements compared to the 7.x series. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL compatible at the protocol and SQL levels.

Included services

In addition to your application, the Stack brings up MariaDB, an nginx that accepts traffic on port 80, an automatic backups service and the web file manager.

Getting started

Install the Stack and start it:

bash

docker-deploy-stack --stack php/php8.3-mariadb
cd /root/stack/php/php8.3-mariadb
docker compose up -d

Then replace the example application with yours, from Git, via SFTP or from the web file manager, following como-despliego-una-aplicacion-en-un-stack.md. Your code goes in the app/ folder.

Each time you update the code, apply the changes:

bash

docker compose up -d --build
