Research direction

Start by reviewing the current WordPress Dockerfiles and how they select the PHP base image, then compare the requested php:8.2-fpm-bullseye image with the existing Debian 12 base. Done means providing a Debian 11-based PHP 8.2 image or a documented way to choose the base OS when building the image.

Description

The latest versions of the WordPress docker image is based on php 8.2 which in turn is based on the Debian 12 image, up from Debian 11. We want to run the latest version of PHP, but upgrading to the OS version has caused a lot of compatibility issues for us since we need to run some old third party software. Would it be possible to also provide images based on php:8.2-fpm-bullseye or some way to choose which OS version to base this on (e.g. via an ARG) when creating Dockerfiles based on this image?
