$ niso pull php

14x smaller than Docker

This package is 14 MB vs Docker's 200 MB image. That's 14x less disk space, faster pulls, and a smaller attack surface.

PHP is one of the most widely used server-side scripting languages, powering over 75% of websites with a known server-side language including WordPress, Laravel, and Symfony applications.

niso packages PHP with FPM at 14 MB -- 14x smaller than Docker's 200 MB php:8.3-fpm-alpine image. Includes php, php-fpm, and common extensions (pdo, mbstring, curl, json, xml). FPM pool configuration mounts from the host for easy tuning. Pairs naturally with the nginx package.
