Welcome to Devilbox Community, and all others

[llaville]

Hi everyone,

Few months ago (Feb 2021), I've begun to work on a modification of the Build Helper
in the Devilbox's PHP-FPM Docker Images project.

My goals was to :

• fix some issue that blocked making of docker images
• allow to build docker images (mods and work) with contents choosen by final users

You can find it on issue report :
Build your own version of php-fpm:x.y-mods and php-fpm:x.y-work

Two months after, and without any reaction of the community, I've started to continue my work on a fork until cytopia fixed the main problem :
official devilbox PHP-FPM docker images not built since a long time.

Later, when I read that some user asked again to add new PHP extensions and/or tools, I realized that probably only few persons understand
the cytopia architecture (around Ansible).

So, I tried to explain it as much as possible with this post:
For devs and contributors audience - How to handle an add new PHP modules in Docker images

And finally, three weeks ago, I've decided to make my own solution. The goals are :

• add easily new PHP extensions and tools
• allow more audience to make their own docker images (base, mods, prod, work)
• reduce knowledge to only three technology (PHP, JSON, and of course Docker)
• allow to make a compatible cytopia solution, and also to build other Docker containers with different dockerfiles template

After almost 3 weeks to work on it, I'm proud now to propose this new alternative.

The project is officially open to public today and available at https://github.com/llaville/docker-php-toolbox

If you're interrested, please consider to continue talk about it on its space at https://github.com/llaville/docker-php-toolbox/discussions
