Compiling php + symfony 4 - what are the solutions?

Question

linux

Good day dear friends!
I will say right away that my question is extremely non-standard, there is almost nothing on the Internet.
I want to hear the opinion of people who have faced a similar problem.
I have a console application written in php7.2 + symfony 4.
I would like to compile it into a binary (or binaries?) so that it can be run under linux
. The main task is not just to compile the binary, but to protect the code.
Somewhere n years ago I saw a software that allowed php5 to compile an exe file under windows
It was cool, but right now it’s not relevant, with php7 It doesn’t work and I don’t have windows
Plus the complexity is added by the fact that I have a whole framework there.
Actually questions:

1. What software is there for compiling php into a binary, given that I have a composer and a whole framework, the target OS is linux
   
2. Are there ready-made solutions to collect the whole framework into one file? (not binary just php file)?*
   
3. What software is there for these purposes, I consider all paid and free ones.
   

* I found out that in php 7.2 there is a standard method (lib) that allows you to compile a file into a binary, the trouble is that it must be one file.

Answer 1

I wonder how this conversion to binary will protect the code? :)

Answer 2

docker
Doesn't work the way you described, but it's what you want.

Answer 3

Code obfuscation and formation of one phar archive.
