This is the most bare-bones example of PHP app running on Zerops — as few libraries as possible, just a simple endpoint with connnect, read and write to a Zerops PostgreSQL database.
You can either click the deploy button to deploy directly on Zerops, or manually copy the import yaml to the import dialog in the Zerops app.
- PHP 8.3 app running in a load balanced Zerops Apache and Nginx service
- Zerops PostgreSQL 16 service as database
- Healthcheck setup example
- Utilization of Zerops' built-in environment variables system
- Utilization of Zerops' built-in log management
Base of the recipe is ready for production, the difference comes down to:
- Use highly available version of the PostgreSQL database (change
modefromNON_HAtoHAin recipe YAML,dbservice section) - Use at least two containers for the PHP service to achieve high reliability and resilience (add
minContainers: 2in recipe YAML,apacheapi/nginxapiservice section)
Further things to think about when running more complex, highly available PHP production apps on Zerops:
- Containers are volatile - use Zerops object storage to store your files
- Use Zerops Redis (KeyDB) for caching, storing sessions and pub/sub messaging
- Use more advanced logging lib, such as Monolog, Analog or KLogger
