Hello everyone!

Recently, I reactivated my 18-year-old license. Long live boomer communication methods in the age of Facebook! 😀

I've prepared a project on GitHub with a complete Docker Compose stack, which I intend to use to launch my community. However, before that happens, I would like to ask more experienced self-hosters to take a look at my configuration and provide any advice. It's been a while since I last hosted anything on my own, and I'm a bit "out of the loop."

Thanks in advance!

Why Apache and not Nginx?

Also, for every Docker image, I’d use the lightest possible image (Alpine-based instead of Bookworm, for example).

For php.ini, I’d add opcache configuration.

Also, consider using the ImageMagick PHP extension.

Thanks for the very good advice regarding PHP!

As for Apache, it's more a matter of my habit from the old days. 🙂

Regarding the lack of use of Alpine, I'm not a fan of the idea of saving a few dozen megabytes of transfer/disk space at the risk of potential bugs related to the lack of glibc in Alpine, as well as generally using a much less tested distribution.
