VOLUME /var/www/html/storage

WORKDIR /var/www/html

# Fix permissions
RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

USER www-data

Custom Nginx Configuration

To enable custom Nginx configurations, use the following files:

• /var/www/html/conf/nginx/nginx.conf
• /var/www/html/conf/nginx/nginx-site.conf

---

Supervisord Integration

Supervisord can be used to manage tasks or processes within the container.

Example Configuration for Kafka Consumer

[program:kafkaconsume-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/artisan kafka:consumer
autostart=true
autorestart=true
numprocs=1
user=www-data
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/www/html/storage/logs/kafka.log

Fixing Storage Permissions

If you encounter storage permission issues, run the following commands:

docker compose exec php-fpm /bin/bash

Then inside the container:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/storage
