Different php.ini files (different services, same repo)

Hello,

How do I set different php.ini files for different services using the same repo?

In our case, we have Laravel apps and we would like to set different max execution times for web and worker/scheduler services.

Is there any variable we can set to point to the ini file path?

PHP can load additional .ini files from directories specified by PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR. This is an environment variable you can set per service. 

Repo layout

/php.ini                      # shared defaults
/php.ini.d/web/overrides.ini   # web-only overrides
/php.ini.d/worker/overrides.ini# worker-only overrides

Example overrides

php.ini.d/web/overrides.ini

max_execution_time = 30

php.ini.d/worker/overrides.ini

max_execution_time = 0

Railway settings (per service)

  • Web service env var:

    PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/app/php.ini.d/web

  • Worker/Scheduler service env var:

    PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/app/php.ini.d/worker

It worked but I had to change a bit:

Web service env var:

PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=:/app/php.ini.d/web

Worker/Scheduler service env var:

PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=:/app/php.ini.d/worker

(notice the “:” before the “/app…”
