Overview

FrankenPHP is a modern PHP application server built on the Caddy web server. It embeds the PHP interpreter and Caddy in a single self contained binary, adding worker mode, automatic HTTPS, early hints and real time features, so you run high performance PHP without wiring together a separate web server and a PHP FPM pool.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships FrankenPHP hardened, fully patched and preconfigured, serving a demo PHP app over HTTPS the moment it boots. The Caddy admin API is disabled for a secure by default posture, and every instance generates its own self signed TLS certificate on first boot. Backed by 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • High performance PHP application hosting
  • Worker mode for long running PHP apps
  • HTTPS termination for PHP frameworks
