I'm just starting to learn about docker for laravel but I really recommend this course on it.
It covers a lot on developing and on deploying to production

Which docker source is preferable for installing laravel under docker ?
Hello, I have expierence of installing laravel app under docker from apache, using in Dockerfile.yml command like :
FROM php:7.3-apache
Also I find some docker apps use package fpm or alpine. What is the difference? Have some sources more packages? Better to tune?
Thanks!

+1 for the course :) But be aware that he does not set up FPM in the apache2 image, meaning it wont work with php-fpm. I have contacted the author, and asked him for to upload an updated version :)

Well first of all php:7.3-apache is apache and php in the same container..
The php:7.3-fpm is just php but with FPM (a protocol for communication) enabled. This means that you can move your webserver to a different container. Both nginx and apache2 supports FPM, but if you plan to do this I suggest using nginx as it is WAY easier to setup :)
Regarding alpine, this is just a minimalistic platform to start from. Imagine removing EVERYTHING from linux (only the kernel left).. This makes your images way smaller (the base image is 8 MB I think), but also requires you to install more stuff yourself (and it has its own package manager as well)
