Website with Shopping and Login system split into different containers

General
1

Hi community,

I have created a website as school project for selling coffee for instance.
I created a landing page which is in it’s own container. In addition I have a webserver container running NGINX, a mysql database container and a phpmyadmin container to edit the database easier. Now I want to add for instance a Log-In system which should run in its own container communicating with the landing page container.

My question now is, how I could implement this?
For better understanding I add my docker-compose.yml file, default.conf file and .env file.

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
    web:
        build: ./nginx/
        container_name: nginx-container
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        #environment:
         # - NGINX_HOST=${NGINX_HOST}
        links:
            - php
        volumes_from: 
            - app-data
      
    php:
        build: ./php/
        container_name: php-container
        expose:
            - "9000"
        links: 
            - mysql
        volumes_from:
            - app-data

    app-data:
        image: php:7.0-fpm
        container_name: app-data-container
        volumes:

            #- ./www/images/:/var/www/images
            - "./nginx/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf"
        command: "true"

    mysql:
