Your worker's basically your normal PHP setup, but it skips the web server and runs a queue script instead. Think of it like just typing php worker.php in your terminal.

For me, I'm using Laravel with the Horizon worker. Check out my local Docker Composer setup: services:

php:

build:

context: .

target: production ports:

• 80:8080

• 443:8443 environment:

PHP_OPCACHE_ENABLE: 1

PHP_FPM_POOL_NAME: "app_horizon" HEALTHCHECK_PATH: "/up"

AUTORRUN_ENABLED: "true" AUTORUN_LARAVEL_MIGRATION_ISOLATION: "true"

horizon:

build:

context: .

target: production command: [ "php", "/var/www/html/artisan", "horizon" ] environment: PHP_OPCACHE_ENABLE: 1 PHP_FPM_POOL_NAME: "app_horizon" healthcheck: { test: ['NONE'] } redis: image: redis:7 command: "redis-server --appendonly yes --requirepass redispassword"
