    docker run -v $PWD:/app/public -p 443:443 \
      dunglas/frankenphp

If you want to build a docker container yourself that you can use to serve your app, then running these commands should do the trick to turn a fresh Debian into the container you need:

    apt install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-php
    cat << 'EOF' > /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
    ServerName mysite.local
    <Directory /app/public>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot /app/public
    </VirtualHost>
    EOF

Friends and I maintain a repo which shows how to go from zero to a running web application via popular languages and frameworks here:

https://github.com/no-gravity/web_app_from_scratch

I started working a month ago for a company using mod_php, it's painful, every time you start xdebug, then after the debugging session, you need to restart apache, I started yesterday configuring apache2 to use php-fpm, but I was just wondering if it could work for us, at least in dev, this frankenphp, just can't find how to install php-exts in the docs

Unless I am mistaken this won't work: does default apache 000-default.conf vhost redirect traffic from 443 to 80 ?

To support SSL you would add a virtual host section like this:

    <VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName mysite.local
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/cert
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key
        DocumentRoot /app/public
    </VirtualHost>

And either use a real cert or add a command to create a self signed one:

    openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key -out cert
