ministryofjustice/wordpress-base-fpm repository overview

In the containerised world, single-process containers are great. This image tries to be just that. On startup, a PHP-FPM process is launched. Using top we can see the only process is PHP-FPM.

When this image is built we ensure that if software needs compiling for WordPress, it is taken care of here.

What happens?

• Configure PHP
• Compile software for managing images, and
• Configure default logging and language settings

This Docker image is not enough for a WordPress installation. It was created to remove heavy lifting and offer time savings during CI/CD. It can be fed into an image like this one⁠. It is multi-platform (AMD/ARM) and is built via scheduled GitHub Action, every three days.

We have security built in. Nine times out of ten our latest release will be virus-free. Automation will fail if a significant vulnerability is found. Three days later it will try again and will keep on trying until the build can succeed, vulnerability-free.
