LEMP Stack
A classic LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP) stack extended with Redis caching and Adminer for convenient database administration. Nginx 1.27 serves static files directly and forwards PHP requests to the PHP-FPM 8.3 container via FastCGI, with shared volumes ensuring both services see the same application code. MariaDB 11.4 provides the relational database layer with tuned InnoDB settings, while Redis 7 handles session storage and application caching. Adminer offers a lightweight, single-file web UI for database management on a dedicated port. All database services include health checks and the network is split between frontend (public) and backend (internal) tiers.

When to Use
This template is ideal for setting up a lemp stack environment. All services are pre-configured with healthchecks, resource limits, and sensible defaults. Customize environment variables before deploying to production.
Tips
- Change all default passwords before deploying
- Review resource limits for your hardware
- Add a reverse proxy for production HTTPS
- Configure backup strategies for data volumes
