Cannot find php-fpm www.sock file on Docker with nginx and php-fpm

Question

I am working to start the laravel app on Docker

I am having connect() to unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) error and there is no php-fpm folder in run folder.

Why is not there a www.sock file created?

server.conf

server {
    listen      8080;
       root        /home/app/public_html/public;
       index       index.php;

       charset utf-8;
       gzip on;
    gzip_types text/css application/javascript text/javascript application/x-javascript  image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon;
    
        location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }
        

        location ~ .php {
                include fastcgi.conf;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock; //this crashes
        }
        location ~ /.ht {
                deny all;
        }     

}

In your DockerFile you need add php-fpm:

RUN dnf install -y php php-fpm php-cli php-mysqlnd php-zip php-devel php-pdo php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath php-json php-fileinfo php-intl

Hope help you.
