Official PHP Image - How to add more extensions?

Hi,

i need to know how exactly i can add (for php8.1.0-fpm) the following (for docker rootless production system):
GD, intl, mysqli, pdo_mysql, zip, opcache

PS: I dont know if it’s important… i will use nginx, not apache.

Did you read “How to install more PHP extensions” on https://hub.docker.com/_/php?

@avbentem
Yes, but i’m not familiar with php. :pensive:
As example it’s so if i would tell you how to repair your car. :wink:

So what parts are giving you problems? I feel it’s a bit too much to ask people to explain everything, including things you may already know.

@avbentem

How to add this?
English isn’t my familiar language too! :blush:
So sorry, i can’t explain it more. :pensive:

Edit:
Hope you or anybody else can help.

@avbentem is right. We can help you if you can understand our help. Installing extensions can be tricky since you need to figure out what libraries that extension requires. This is why I created my own project where I installed many additional extensions for multiple versions of PHP. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time recently and I stopped being a PHP developer, so I don’t have PHP 8 yet.

You can use it as an example. It might help you to install the extensions for PHP 8.

You can find the common installation mehods here: docker-php/common/bin at master · itsziget/docker-php · GitHub

When an extension for a specific PHP versions requires a different method, I have an other bin folder for that version like this: docker-php/7.4/fpm/bin at master · itsziget/docker-php · GitHub

I have different branches for automated builds so if you don’t want to search for files in multiple directories, use the merged build branches from here: Branches · itsziget/docker-php · GitHub

I noticed that GitHub has a bug so I can’t select branches using the dropdown list but I can on the “branches” page.

Since each PHP version can have different base image, the required libraries can be different too. If it is the case, you need to try to install the extension, read the error messages and install the libraries mentioned by the error message. Sometimes it is not obvious, but if you want to work with PHP, especially in a container, you need to understand Linux a little more than otherwise. It was a long procesdure for me too.

Thanks! :smiley:
I don’t understand all, but a part of it. :wink:

But, i don’t understand how to do it for GD. :pensive:
My (example) Dockerfile looks like (code from github link below):

FROM php:8.1.0-fpm
RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        libfreetype6-dev \
        libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
        libpng-dev \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
                                   --with-png-dir=/usr/include/ --enable-gd-native-ttf \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd

Then i do:

docker build -t myphp .

Output:

What’s wrong? :thinking:
I’m confused… :roll_eyes:

Next question, is this code on https://github.com/itsziget/docker-php/blob/master/common/bin/re-php-ext-gd for prodcution systems too or is there another package for GD in prodcution?

Edit:
Ahhh, ok, my fault.
I think that not the packages for php8.1.0-fpm. :blush:

You need to run apt-get update before apt-get install

i’ve tried it

FROM php:8.1.0-fpm
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
libfreetype6-dev \
libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
libpng-dev \
&& docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-di    r=/usr/include/ \
--with-png-dir=/usr/include/ --enable-gd-native-    ttf \
&& docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd

and another way

FROM php:8.1.0-fpm
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
libfreetype6-dev \
libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
libpng-dev \
&& docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-di    r=/usr/include/ \
--with-png-dir=/usr/include/ --enable-gd-native-    ttf \
&& docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd

Output same as before. :thinking: :blush:

Are you sure? Because I don’t think so. Please share the output even if you think it is the same. I think I know what message you have but I would like to see it from you.

So, next extensions ( intl, mysqli, pdo_mysql, zip, opcache) are waiting. :roll_eyes:

Yes, your two quoated outpus are the same but both of them different from the original output you shared. This is exactly the output I thought you have. It means the new PHP 8 does not have those options that PHP 7 had.

The solution is what you did, removing the options one by one until the build succeeds. And this is how you should do with the other extensions too.

@rimelek
If i extend my Dockerfile with

&& docker-php-ext-configure intl && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) intl

i get

configure: error: Package requirements (icu-uc >= 50.1 icu-io icu-i18n) were not met:
No package ‘icu-uc’ found
No package ‘icu-io’ found
No package ‘icu-i18n’ found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ICU_CFLAGS
and ICU_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

So please, like you and all other see, i need help! :pensive: :blush:

I don’t have all the answers so I should also do the reseacrh to build PHP 8 with these extensions. You need to try, interpret the error messages and search for the error messages like No package 'icu-uc'. Install the required library and try again. Then you will probably find another error you need to solve.

Luckily for you I want to add PHP 8 to my project so I will try to build it later but I can’t promise so I suggest you continue trying.

@rimelek
Ok, hope you’ll get it done soon. :sunglasses:

Do you know how i can check that all extensions are working? :blush:

Like for opcache

php -i | grep 'opcache\.enable '

pcache.enable => On => On

You can check the rest of the extensions the same way you did with opcache. Of course an extension to be loaded does not always mean it works properly. So if you want to make sure, you have to test it.

@rimelek

php -i | grep 'mysqli\.enable '

and other extensions showing me nothing (no output). :thinking:

The method is the same. The string you need to search for can be different. Search only for the name of the extension. The fact that you don’t need to enable an extension does not mean it does not work.

I have just added experimental support for PHP 8.0 FPM and PHP 8.1 FPM.

XMLRPC was moved to PECL so I had to change the build process a little to support custom PECL channels.

intl however was good as it was. You just missed to install libicu-dev: docker-php/re-php-ext-intl at build/8.0/fpm · itsziget/docker-php · GitHub
