Feature/nginx-unit flavour

[razvanphp]

Hello,

Since there are multiple tests online about how nginx-unit is faster than fpm+nginx combo + the added benefit of simplicity having just one container with no supervisord, would this repo be a good place to contribute this?

What would be the recommended approach? Have some tests added/run?

Thank you! R

Likely yes but it would be great to have actual benchmarks.

sure, here is what I was referring to: https://habr.com/en/articles/646397/

Also, our app runs fine in this environment/setup since the official unit image is based on the official php-cli image -- but we could also use it as a baseimage intermediate to pull the unitd binaries + modules from:

@razvanphp Here's a very rough first "build layout": https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-docker/tree/feature/nginxunit

It builds, but the correct config is missing, you might start from there to create a working image.

It might be possible to re-unify the Dockerfiles, but this depends maily on the OS used in the Docker image.

PS: Comment Apache section and uncomment https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-docker/blob/feature/nginxunit/.env-dist#L26-L30 after files has been copied to .env
