PHP website using Docker and Nginx with subdomains on Raspberry Pi

Let's say i own the domain domain.com. I want to host, on my Raspberry Pi 4, a PHP website when I go on the URL domain.com, in parallel with a NextCloud instance when I go to drive.domain.com.

For this purpose I use Docker and Nginx following this tutorial https://linuxhandbook.com/nginx-reverse-proxy-docker/#step-5-run-other-service-containers-with-reverse-proxy where we setup a VIRTUAL_HOST for each subdomain on the network net. I managed to get the Nextcloud instance working on my subdomain drive.domain.com.

When I try the nginx-dummy example using docker run --rm --name nginx-dummy -e VIRTUAL_HOST=domain.com -e LETSENCRYPT_HOST=domain.com -e VIRTUAL_PORT=80 --network net -d nginx:latest, it seems to work because the url domain.com lands the nginx config page. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to change this html page into my PHP website and get it working on domain.com. Folder being like so:

enter image description here

I tried to create a docker-compose.yml with Nginx and PHP like so:

version: '3'
services:
 # Nginx server configuration
  web:
    image: nginx:latest
    container_name: webserver
    environment:
      VIRTUAL_HOST: 'domain.com'
      VIRTUAL_PORT: 80
    depends_on:
      - php
    links:
      - php
    volumes:
      - ./webcontent:/var/www/html
      - ./nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d/
 # Php-fpm configuration
  php:
    image: php:7.2-fpm
    volumes:
      - ./webcontent:/var/www/html
      - ./php:/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini

but it did not work, returning 502 Bad Gateway.

Also, Let's encrypt certificates don't seem to be working. Maybe for another question though.

Would you have an idea how to proceed?

After trying several things I found the best solution for my needs. The linuxserver team did an incredible job available here https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/swag#docker-compose.

Their SWAG container setup is easy to follow and really well explained, from setting up a webserver, SSL certificates, and NextCloud in parallel seemlessly. Just a piece of art.
