php-fpm Error and Incorrect reward info Status for Non-PHP Node.js Environment

[zaheerbadi]

## Bug Report: `php-fpm` Error and Incorrect `reward info` Status for Node.js Environment

### Description
When running `reward env up` for a Node.js + MySQL environment (non-PHP), I encounter the error: `service "php-fpm" has neither an image nor a build context specified: invalid compose project`. Running `docker compose -f .reward/reward-env.yml up -d` successfully starts the containers (`node` and `db`), but `reward info` incorrectly shows "Environment Status: Stopped" despite the containers running. This suggests issues with Reward’s handling of the `local` environment type and its state tracking.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Initialize a new Reward environment in the project directory (`~/Sites/my-node-react`):
   ```bash
   reward env-init node-react

2. Configure the project’s .env file (my-node-react-project/.env):

   REWARD_ENV_NAME=node-react
   REWARD_ENV_TYPE=local
   REWARD_WEB_ROOT=/app/frontend
   TRAEFIK_DOMAIN=node-react.test
   TRAEFIK_SUBDOMAIN=
   TRAEFIK_EXTRA_HOSTS=
   REWARD_DB=true
   REWARD_ELASTICSEARCH=false
   REWARD_OPENSEARCH=false
   REWARD_OPENSEARCH_DASHBOARDS=false
   REWARD_VARNISH=false
   REWARD_RABBITMQ=false
   REWARD_REDIS=false
   REWARD_MERCURE=false
   MARIADB_VERSION=10.6
   NODE_VERSION=20
   REWARD_SYNC_ENABLED=false
   REWARD_SYNC_IGNORE=
   REWARD_ALLURE=false
   REWARD_SELENIUM=false
   REWARD_SELENIUM_DEBUG=false
   REWARD_BLACKFIRE=false
   REWARD_SPLIT_SALES=false
   REWARD_SPLIT_CHECKOUT=false
   REWARD_TEST_DB=false
   REWARD_MAGEPACK=false
   BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID=
   BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN=
   BLACKFIRE_SERVER_ID=
   BLACKFIRE_SERVER_TOKEN=
   XDEBUG_VERSION=
   REWARD_SHELL_CONTAINER=node
   REWARD_SHELL_COMMAND=bash
   REWARD_SHELL_USER=root
   REWARD_PHP_ENABLED=false

3. Configure the project’s .reward/reward-env.yml file:

   services:
     node:
       image: node:${NODE_VERSION:-20}
       ports:
         - "3000:3000"
         - "3001:3001"
       volumes:
         - ../frontend:/app/frontend
         - ../backend:/app/backend
         - /app/node_modules
       working_dir: /app
       environment:
         - NODE_ENV=development
       labels:
         - traefik.http.routers.${REWARD_ENV_NAME}-node.rule=Host(`${TRAEFIK_DOMAIN}`)
         - traefik.http.services.${REWARD_ENV_NAME}-node.loadbalancer.server.port=3000
     db:
       image: mariadb:${MARIADB_VERSION:-10.6}
       ports:
         - "3306:3306"
       environment:
         - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
         - MYSQL_DATABASE=myapp
       volumes:
         - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
   volumes:
     db_data:

4. Create global ~/.reward/.env to override PHP defaults:

   REWARD_SHELL_CONTAINER=node
   REWARD_SHELL_COMMAND=bash
   REWARD_SHELL_USER=root
   REWARD_PHP_ENABLED=false

5. Run reward env up:
   • Error: service "php-fpm" has neither an image nor a build context specified: invalid compose project.
6. Run docker compose -f .reward/reward-env.yml up -d:
   • Containers (node and db) start successfully, verifiable with docker ps.
7. Run reward info:
   • Shows "Environment Status: Stopped" despite running containers.

Expected Behavior

• reward env up should start the environment without including a php-fpm service, respecting REWARD_PHP_ENABLED=false and the project’s .reward/reward-env.yml which defines only node and db services.
• reward info should show "Environment Status: Running" when containers are active, whether started via reward env up or docker compose.

Actual Behavior

• reward env up fails with the error: service "php-fpm" has neither an image nor a build context specified: invalid compose project.
• reward info incorrectly reports "Environment Status: Stopped" after starting containers with docker compose -f .reward/reward-env.yml up -d.

Environment

• Reward Version: [reward version 0.7.3+202501091243]
• Docker Version: [Docker version 28.0.4, build b8034c0]
• Docker Compose Version: [Docker Compose version v2.34.0-desktop.1]
• Operating System: [Windows 11 with ubuntu virtualization]
• Global Configuration:

  # Contents of ~/.reward.yml
  log_level: info
  debug: false
  reward_shared_composer: true
  reward_traefik_bind_additional_http_ports: []
  reward_traefik_bind_additional_https_ports: []

  # Contents of ~/.reward/.env
  REWARD_SHELL_CONTAINER=node
  REWARD_SHELL_COMMAND=bash
  REWARD_SHELL_USER=root
  REWARD_PHP_ENABLED=false

Additional Information

• The php-fpm service appears to be included by Reward’s default local template, despite setting REWARD_PHP_ENABLED=false in both project and global configurations.
• Running docker compose -f .reward/reward-env.yml up -d bypasses the php-fpm error, confirming the project-specific configuration is correct.
• Clearing the cache (rm -rf ~/.reward/cache) and reinitializing the environment (reward env-init node-react) did not resolve the issue.
• The reward info command fails to detect running containers, suggesting a bug in Reward’s state tracking for non-PHP environments or when using docker compose directly.
• The --force flag in reward env-init node-react --force was unsupported, as noted previously, requiring manual .env deletion to reinitialize.
• The project is a Node.js + React.js + MySQL application (User Management App), not a PHP-based project like Magento or Shopware.

Suggested Fix

• Ensure Reward respects REWARD_PHP_ENABLED=false and excludes php-fpm from the local environment template for non-PHP projects.
• Fix reward info to accurately reflect container states when containers are started via docker compose or when bypassing Reward’s internal templates.
• Consider documenting or supporting non-PHP environments (e.g., Node.js) more explicitly in the local environment type.

Workaround

• Use docker compose -f .reward/reward-env.yml up -d to start the environment without errors.
• Stop the environment with docker compose -f .reward/reward-env.yml down.
• Alternatively, use a standard docker-compose.yml to avoid Reward entirely:

  services:
    node:
      image: node:20
      ports:
        - "3000:3000"
        - "3001:3001"
      volumes:
        - ./frontend:/app/frontend
        - ./backend:/app/backend
        - /app/node_modules
      working_dir: /app
      environment:
        - NODE_ENV=development
    db:
      image: mariadb:10.6
      ports:
        - "3306:3306"
      environment:
        - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
        - MYSQL_DATABASE=myapp
      volumes:
        - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
  volumes:
    db_data:
