Instead of drowning you in directives (fastcgi_buffers, timeouts, etc.), Gruxi lets you start with a working server. For PHP sites, workflow is simpler: point at webroot, add PHP (CGI/FPM), reload. That’s it.

Gruxi’s proxy processor includes built-in load balancing and health checks
. You can round-robin incoming traffic to multiple PHP backends, automatically stopping traffic to any that fail the health check.

Gruxi PHP Load Balancer Example. It walks through Docker Compose with 1 Gruxi 2 PHP app containers. Gruxi routes HTTP/HTTPS to both and removes any instance that fails health checks.

📄 Lightweight PHP Hosting with Gruxi.
Perfect example for a personal site or small tool: Gruxi serves index.html and a hello.php. See the minimal docker-compose.yml to get it running in minutes.

Trends: small & nimble stacks. Even for a tiny site, you can skip complex setup. Gruxi (Rust) PHP-FPM Docker is basically as easy as single container – but with proper HTTP handling (TLS, logs, etc.).

Insight: In this example, Gruxi handles all incoming requests. A Static File Processor serves index.html directly, and a PHP Processor forwards /hello.php to PHP-FPM
. It’s enough to demo full request flow with minimal config.

Use this pattern for quick prototypes. Docker Compose brings up Gruxi PHP-FPM with one docker compose up. Great for testing new ideas or teaching a simple PHP app without heavy ops.
