How does it handle framework-specific needs?

It scans for symfony/framework-bundle or laravel/framework in your composer.json and automatically adds commands for cache warming, route caching, and directory permission management.

Does this skill support PHP versions older than 8.4?

The skill is optimized for PHP 8.4 features like JIT and the latest Alpine variants, but the generated logic can be adapted for PHP 8.1+ by adjusting the base image version.

Does it include security best practices?

Absolutely. It configures a non-root user (UID 1000), disables the PHP version header, removes package manager caches, and sets up a container health check.

Is the final image optimized for size?

Yes, it uses a multi-stage approach where build tools and dev dependencies are discarded, leaving only the PHP runtime and compiled extensions in the final Alpine-based image.

How are PHP extensions installed?

The skill identifies required extensions like pdo_pgsql or gd from your code and generates the specific apk and docker-php-ext-install commands needed for Alpine Linux.
