PHP version 7.4 in 9/2022 etc... #749

I'm fairly new to docker, and I'm somehow undecided if I love or hat the experience.

Setting up docker desktop following the instructions and installing the official WordPress built was really going smooth - aside from it taking me a while to figure out how to map the http-port not to collide with my local xampp...

Getting the the volumes to mount on windows was hell however for various reasons, first and foremost for a lack of good current documentation and tons of outdated info on the web...

My real issue however is, that the current package comes with a php version that is outdated - WordPress recommendation for PHP 7.4 is a minimal and they linkt to 8.1 at the time of writing.

As in the provided docker-compose.yaml file there is no explicit mention of PHP I suppose it is somehow configured in the WordPress volume. ?

The WP recommendation is also HTTPS support, which is still not easy in a local dev-environment I know, but with no exposure of the apache config ist's even harder.

(I also would like to have PHP-MyAdmin and a way to configure PHP - is there a way to provide an alternative docker-composer.yaml to help with starting thing up in a more flexible environment?)
