Docker/Podman Containers
PHP CLI
PHP CLI Containers images only include the PHP CLI, and no FPM or Apache modules. The Alpine builds are lightweight, but may introduce incompatibilities due to their musl builds. Albeit their larger size, the Debian-based (without the "-alpine" suffix) images are more complete, and widely used.
Alpine-based: Lightweight, but may introduce incompatibilities due to their musl builds.
docker pull php:7.4.16-cli-alpineDebian-based: More compatible with other components, complete, and are widely used.
docker pull php:7.4.16-cliPHP CLI + Web Server Integration
