Hi FrankenPHP Team! How to support symlinks inside /app/public folder ? It does not seem to resolve the paths

[alexandreelise]

Hi, I tried to create a symlink inside /app/public of FrankenPHP container but the symlink does not seem to be resolved and throws a 404 with a wrong path in the FrankenPHP logs. Is it an alpine linux know issue, is it a caddy server known issue or did I somehow misconfigured something for FrankenPHP. Can you please shed a light on this one? I'll continue to investigate on my part.

Could you show your Dockerfile or reproducer?

Wow! I just realized that dunglas/frankenphp image is based on Debian 12.2 which makes my previous comment totally irrelevant. Enjoy your weekend anyway.

Edited reproducer that seems to behave correctly and shows the resolved symlinks using realpath in php

FROM dunglas/frankenphp


RUN [ "/bin/bash", "-c", "mkdir -p /usr/src/external/{a,b,c} \
    && echo '<?php echo realpath(__DIR__);' | tee /usr/src/external/{a,b,c}/index.php \
    && ln -s /usr/src/external/a /app/public/a \
    && ln -s /usr/src/external/b /app/public/b \
    && ln -s /usr/src/external/c /app/public/c" ]

VOLUME /app/public

CMD frankenphp run --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

NOTE: The exec form of RUN is used, in order to force the use of bash shell and allow brace expansion. Otherwise it fails miserably.

Hi, there is some progress. After reading caddy server docs I found out that I needed to customize my Caddyfile to make it work with FrankenPHP and Joomla. Still not there yet for want I want to do. But hopefully will get there soon. Stay tuned!

Now auto-install is a reality! At last! alexandreelise/frankenphp-joomla#3
