I need to call composer install
and unsure from which Dockerfile to call it from - Dockerfile-apache
or Dockerfile-php-fpm
?
Should I install composer in Dockerfile-apache
(and PHP CLI?) and run it from there?
Running composer install from Dockerfile-php-fpm gives me this: Composer could not find a composer.json file in /var/www/html
Docker-php-fpm

Edit #2
This docker-compose file enables the communication via a common volume. I just need to compile, build and copy the files in Apache at this point.

I would go with neither of the above; instead, run composer install
locally and copy the resulting vendor
directory as part of your application.
Fetching dependencies is fundamentally part of building an application, not part of running it, so Composer shouldn't even be installed on a production host or container. If you were writing a C application which needed to be compiled with gcc
, you would run that as an earlier step, and then copy the binary into the container; composer install
can be treated the same way.
So for instance, you might have a build script (to run manually, or in a CI server like Jenkins, Github Actions, Azure DevOps, etc) that went through the following steps:
- Clone the repo from a git repository
- Check out the latest tag
- Run
composer install
- Run a script to minify the client-side JS
- Run
docker-composer
, copying the source code, minified JS, andvendor
directory
The software inside the Docker container therefore only needs to be able to run the application, not build it.
