This PHP application is securely containerized using Docker, leveraging a multi-stage build process to improve efficiency and speed. The application's dependencies are installed using Composer, and the PHP runtime is configured for secure operation. A MySQL database is also containerized alongside the application, providing a secure environment for data storage. Additionally, a PHPMyAdmin container is used for local testing purposes. To ensure the security of the Dockerized application, Snyk is utilized to identify and fix vulnerabilities in the container image. Regular security scans are performed using the Snyk CLI to detect potential security issues and provide recommendations for remediation. By following these steps, developers can create a secure and efficient PHP application that is easy to maintain and update.
