Add cgi-fcgi to fpm images to allow healthchecks #2495

Description

@RoepLuke

By default this image does not have a healthcheck defined.
If one wants to do so there are a few options:

  • tcp connect test inside the container (no advanced information)
  • using information from occ status (information only semi-relevant for healthchecking php-fpm)
  • HTTP/S request via webserver/reverseproxy container (tests multiple containers instead of only this one)
  • request php-fpm status page via the cgi-fcgi tool (tool missing, information may be misinterpreted/misleading)
  • etc.

Currently the fpm images do not ship the cgi-fcgi binary.
Implementing a healthcheck based on it thus requires building your own image that includes this binary.

Such healthchecks could be:

Even with the binary included I wouldn't ship a healthcheck by default because of the issues outlined above.
However I do think it should be possible to use cgi-fcgi without having to build your own image - if there are no greater reasons not to include such a tool inside this image.

Thank you very much
