Description

Going to the Language-specific guides, the second thing you're told to do is run docker init - which is a feature still in beta, and requires a machine with a GUI installed with the full Docker Desktop installed. (Which also means you need a test box large enough to run it on.) There is no indication that this is not a production feature, or that it may not be available with the base Docker install.

Location

https://docs.docker.com/language/php/containerize/

Suggestion

The usage of docker init does save a lot of documentation space for things that are gone over in other locations - best here would likely be a footnote or tab with 'if you want to do this without docker init' information, as well as a note just before using docker init that the feature is still in beta.
