Node in PHP Image

[TheGodlyLuzer]

I know this might sound a bit stupid, but i'll post it here anyways.

I absolutely love the serversideup php images and use them to develop and deploy my laravel applications.

However there is one thing that bothers me.

Laravel nowadays comes with vite preinstalled, so i need node anways.

Imo it would make sense to create a serversideup/php:8.4-fpm-nginx-node that has the same options/config as the serversideup/php:8.4-fpm-nginx, but comes with node installed. This would be great for builing the frontend assets and also for running the artisan inertia:start-ssr server.

Or maybe a option to include node somehow? inertia:start-ssr would only need php-fpm-alpine and no nginx...

Thoughts on this?

There is a complicated backstory to this, but here are my thoughts:

• Putting Node in PHP container can get messy
• It gets really messy when you need one version of node for this app, and another version of node for another app

I think there is a way where we can do the inertia:start-ssr with a different server (shown here: https://github.com/inertiajs/inertia-laravel/blob/2.x/src/Ssr/HttpGateway.php) that I have to mess around with yet.

Once I get some time, I will definitely keep you posted of my results.
