Docker base services for application hosts

Use helper.sh scripts to standardize containerized Nginx, MySQL, Redis, PHP, and Workerman services on long-lived hosts.

Updated 2026-04-02

Base services are where drift accumulates fastest when different operators create containers by memory.

This topic keeps the common Docker runtime building blocks in one place so teams can choose the right baseline script quickly.

Typical searches here include 'Docker Nginx baseline', 'Redis 7 container setup', 'PHP 7.2 container host', 'Workerman Docker deployment', and 'CentOS 7 BleachWrt Docker macvlan'.

The goal is to reduce service-by-service improvisation and replace it with scripts that are easier to audit and hand over.
