Dockerizing PHP-FPM

When to use

• The user wants to package a PHP-FPM application into a Docker image for deployment.
• The user wants to configure PHP opcache (and JIT) inside a production container image.
• The user wants to shrink a bloated PHP Docker image or speed up its build.

When NOT to use

• Do not apply production image hardening when the user only wants a throwaway local dev container with bind-mounted source.
• Do not use this skill for Kubernetes manifests, service meshes, or multi-service orchestration concerns.
