- not all extensions are available in a distribution native package manager or pecl
- even if these exist one may want to configure these differently or optimize
Talking about the scripts
- docker-php-ext-configure - configure an extension before you build it with
docker-php-ext-install. It's executed bydocker-php-ext-install, so one should use it if wants to override the defaults - docker-php-ext-install - build extension from source, usually executes
docker-php-ext-configurefor build configuration, enables the extension (php.ini entry) by executingdocker-php-ext-enableafter all - docker-php-ext-enable - enables an already installed extension by adding a specific entry to php.ini. Extensions installed with pecl or native package managers may not be enabled by default thus require this additional step. As mentioned above, extensions installed with
docker-php-ext-installare being enabled automatically.

Some extensions are not provided with the PHP source, but are instead available through PECL. To install a PECL extension, use pecl install to download and compile it, then use docker-php-ext-enable to enable it:

these functions can help to set-up your PHP configuration, if per example you want to add opcache to your PHP configuation:
firstly you configure as below :
docker-php-ext-configure gd \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2 && \
docker-php-ext-install gd \
and you install your configuration
&& docker-php-ext-install opcache
and then you can enable it
&& docker-php-ext-enable opcache

If you want to only install them (without enabling them) you can set this environment variable. To enable the extensions at a later time you can execute the command docker-php-ext-enable-<extension> (for example: docker-php-ext-enable-xdebug).

r/docker on Reddit: How to Enable PHP extensions via Dockerfile?
October 4, 2021 -
Hi, I'm new to Docker, so please forgive me if this question is stupid.
I'm trying to build a custom image via a Dockerfile. This is the file:
FROM php:7.4-fpm
# Install Composer
COPY --from=composer /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer
# Install unzip utility and libs needed by zip PHP extension
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
zlib1g-dev \
libzip-dev \
unzip
RUN docker-php-ext-install zipThis is my docker-compose.yml
version: "3.7"
services:
web:
image: nginx
ports:
- 80:80
php:
build: .Now, I go to the "php" container and create a terminal. (I guess this is correct?)
Now, I'm trying to install Magento 2 via composer:
composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition magento2
Unfortunately I'm getting this error message:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires magento/product-community-edition 2.4.3 -> satisfiable by magento/product-community-edition[2.4.3].
- magento/product-community-edition 2.4.3 requires ext-gd * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's gd extension.
Problem 2
- magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework[3.0.0, ..., 3.7.0] require ext-intl * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's intl extension.
- Root composer.json requires magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework ^3.0 -> satisfiable by magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework[3.0.0, ..., 3.7.0].
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
-
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-sodium.ini
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-zip.ini
You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.If I understand it correctly I need to enable these two extensions? But how would I do this?
Thank you very much in advance.

I had the same problem a while ago. I started a container and typed the ext-install command into this container. Once I found all the dependencies, I wrote them into the Dockerfile.
Example:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
libmcrypt-dev \
&& docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) mcrypt
There is a dependency that libmcrypt-dev needed before you can run docker-php-ext-install mcrypt
I've checked my older Dockerfiles and found something which might help you
FROM php:5.6-apache
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
libfreetype6-dev \
libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
libmcrypt-dev \
libpng12-dev \
libicu-dev \
libxml2-dev \
vim \
wget \
unzip \
git \
&& docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) iconv intl xml soap mcrypt opcache pdo pdo_mysql mysqli mbstring \
&& docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
&& docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd

@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…
