I’m using PHP-FPM with Apache for my Nextcloud instance. I have made modifications to the php.ini file under /fpm/php.ini. Do I need to replicate those for /apache2/php.ini and /cli/php.ini as well? I wasn’t sure how all of these php.ini files are being utilized. Any understanding is welcome.
If your using occ command then yes I advice to replicate to cli/php.ini as well
occ uses the command line php cli/php.ini
apache uses the apache2/php.ini
and the fpm module uses fpm/php.ini
they can all be set separately.

These are the different PHP SAPI’s (Server API’s). When your apache2 is configured to use the Fast Process Manager (FPM) then you can safely apt purge the apache2-mod-php.
You can see, what php-sapi is used by your apache2 with this command:
apachectl -tD DUMP_INCLUDES | sed -n '/php.*conf/ s#.*/\([^/]*\)\.conf#\1#p'
If you need those changes you made to the php.ini for php-fpm in the php.ini for php-cli as well, depends on the individual setting but it is safe, to sync those php.ini files. You can not break anything.
Much luck,
