how to use Docker Compose to deploy Flarum, without nginx?

The issue

I have deployed a microservices system on my server using Docker Compose, consisting of an Nginx container and multiple application containers.

Now, I want to add a Flarum container, but the installation documentation only mentions adding the Flarum path to the Nginx configuration. As I understand it, this would require me to install PHP in the Nginx container. However, I prefer to have Nginx handle only traffic forwarding, while the Flarum container processes the traffic.

Is it possible to add a Flarum container to my Docker Compose setup so that I don't need to install PHP in the Nginx container or Nginx in the Flarum container?

Thank you.

FBioCS1 something on the Flarum instance will need to run a service, if you really want to boil it down to the bare minimum you could build an image with just php-fpm with Flarum, then proxy nginx to this instance. So yea, it is possible.
