Base Image

typo3incubator/typo3-base is a slim runtime image with PHP-FPM and all required PHP extensions for TYPO3. It does not contain TYPO3 itself — you build your project-specific image on top of it.

Variants

Two variants are available:

Variant	Ports	Processes	Use Case
`-nginx`	80	Nginx + PHP-FPM (Supervisor)	Docker Compose, simple deploys
`-fpm`	9000	PHP-FPM only	Kubernetes, CI, external web server

Available Tags

Tag	PHP	Variant	Description
`8.2-nginx`	8.2	Nginx	Minimum for TYPO3 v13
`8.2-fpm`	8.2	FPM
`8.3-nginx`	8.3	Nginx	Recommended
`8.3-fpm`	8.3	FPM
`8.4-nginx`	8.4	Nginx	Latest PHP
`8.4-fpm`	8.4	FPM
`latest`	8.3	Nginx	Alias for `8.3-nginx`

Pair with an Nginx, Caddy, or Traefik container as a sidecar or reverse proxy.

Relationship to DDEV

These images complement DDEV — they do not compete with it.
