Description

Currently, this repository gives two options: Nextcloud hosted by Apache in a single container, or using PHP FPM with an additional Nginx container.

Recently, there is a newer way of building high performing PHP container, which is FrankenPHP. FrankenPHP is a modern PHP webserver which is based on Caddy. The benefit of FrankenPHP is that it is incredibly fast and you only need a single container.

If there's is an interest, I would be happy to see if I can create Dockerfiles to start supporting Nextcloud based on FrankenPHP.

Research direction

Start by comparing the repository's existing Apache and PHP FPM plus Nginx container Dockerfiles with the proposed FrankenPHP approach. Determine the Dockerfiles and image behavior needed for a supported single-container variant, then verify that the resulting Nextcloud container builds and serves the application as intended.
