Hi

You cant have multiple commands, atleast not like this.
The best thing you can do is to build and image where this is installed (will also speed up deployment time)

according to: https://hub.docker.com/_/php

PHP Core Extensions

For example, if you want to have a PHP-FPM image with iconv and gd extensions, you can inherit the base image that you like, and write your own Dockerfile like this:

FROM php:7.2-fpm
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        libfreetype6-dev \
        libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
        libpng-dev \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) iconv \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd

Works like a charm. I feel my understanding of docker base images has improved so do feel a little sheepish for the original post, so thank you for your patient and informative response. :slight_smile:
