PHP

The PHP container is based on mappia/magento-php and serves as the devcontainer's workspace container. This is where your terminal sessions run, your code is edited, and where VS Code connects to. It runs PHP-FPM, which Nginx connects to via FastCGI.

All devcontainer features and VS Code extensions are installed into this container.
