> - You don't need to use Docker because PHP is pretty stable target.

Not sure I agree with this. Upgrading PHP versions or managing extensions can be _sometimes_ a PITA, using Docker makes it easier. but for simpler apps, sure, apt install php and a few extensions, and you are good to go.

OTOH - a bit off though - I still haven't figured out how to properly build a php stack with Docker. Do I add an nginx instance to each app image? Or should the app container expose only the FPM? If I'd have to do it nowadays, I'd probably go with the second.

here is an example, https://github.com/visualex/docker-boilerplate-nginx-apache-... not using FPM but Apache, but you can see how nginx fits into the picture, you would be doing something like a fastcgi_pass testsite:9000; using the names in the referenced repo.
