PHP-FPM with suggested ReadMe setup doesn't work

[andrefecto]

The suggested setup for using a fastcgi back-end doesn't seem to work, it just returns blank pages.
Here is my docker-compose for the fastcgi backend:

version: '3'
services:
   php:
    container_name: <container name>
    image:  php:7.4-fpm-alpine3.12
    restart: 'unless-stopped'
    environment:
      VIRTUAL_PROTO: fastcgi
      VIRTUAL_ROOT: /var/www/html/
      url: <https url>
      VIRTUAL_HOST: <virtual_host fqdn>
      LETSENCRYPT_HOST: <virtual_host fqdn>
      LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: <my email>
    volumes:
      - ./data/www/html:/var/www/html
      - ./data/php/:/usr/local/etc/php/
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: nginx-proxy

This is what gets produced in my nginx default.conf by the nginx-proxy-gen container:

# <site fqdn>
upstream <site fqdn> {
                                ## Can be connected with "nginx-proxy" network
                        # <site name>
                        server 172.21.0.3:9000;
}
server {
        server_name <site fqdn>;
        listen 80 ;
        access_log /var/log/nginx/<site name>_access.log vhost;
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
        server_name <site fqdn>;
        listen 443 ssl http2 ;
        # MY EDITS HERE
        access_log /var/log/nginx/<site name>_access.log vhost;
        client_max_body_size 100M;
        ssl_session_timeout 5m;
        ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:50m;
        ssl_session_tickets off;
        ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/<site fqdn>.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/<site fqdn>.key;
        ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/certs/<site fqdn>.dhparam.pem;
        ssl_stapling on;
        ssl_stapling_verify on;
        ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/<site fqdn>.chain.pem;
        add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" always;
        include /etc/nginx/vhost.d/default;
        location / {
                root   /var/www/html/;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_pass <site fqdn>;
        }
}

Here is what I see in my access log:

<site fqdn> <my ip> - - [10/Aug/2020:12:19:19 -0600] "GET / HTTP/2.0" 200 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0"

With everything above you just get blank pages back when you try and visit your or any page at /*.

Now, outside of the suggested setup I have tried adding the following custom location block to the vhost and adding to the default / location block for the vhost:

Added to the nginx_proxy_vhost/_location file:

    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

Added to just the nginx_proxy_vhost/ file:

    location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass <site fqdn>
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

Those additions will produce the base PHP file but any CSS/JS/PNG/JPEG files will return nothing.

My goal is to have this setup for a PHP site: (Nginx Reverse proxy container) -> (php-fpm container) instead of (Nginx Reverse proxy container) -> (Apache container) because running the php-fpm container to server the PHP content while also producing the css/js/images is a lot more lightweight than nginx+Apache behind it and it's a lot faster.

Any help getting this working is appreciated.

This issue looks like a duplicate of #1466.

@msandovalN0N As mentioned in #1466 (comment) I have implemented a workaround in https://github.com/tkw1536/nginx-proxy-fpm-workaround.
