Determine which PHP packages are absolutely needed about docker-php HOT 7 CLOSED

Why don't you replicate Debian's way of distributing PHP extensions?

$ apt-cache depends php7.4-fpm | grep php
php7.4-fpm
  Depends: php7.4-cli
  Depends: php7.4-common
  Depends: php7.4-json
  Depends: php7.4-opcache
  Suggests: php-pear

Install all other php* packages from the PPA.

Then disable them.

All scripted! :) aptitude --disable-columns --display-format %p search ...

This way it will fit every use-case.

Thanks for pointing that out! I will follow those basics, but likely pull them all from Ondrej's PHP (since its a widely accepted in the PHP community).

I have had issues in the past where Ubtuntu's repos took a while to process the update.

I will be starting off with Ubuntu images (since that's what we're comfortable with now) but will be making the transition to Debian/Alpine sometime in the future.

aptitude --disable-columns --display-format %p search '?and(?origin(deb.sury.org), ?architecture(native), ?name(php-), ?not(?name(-dev)), ?not(?name(-dbgsym)))'

aptitude --disable-columns --display-format %p search '?and(?origin(deb.sury.org), ?architecture(native), ?name(php7.4-), ?not(?name(-dev)), ?not(?name(-dbgsym)))'

Ask Ondřej how to list all his packages for a specific version!
The above method may look like you scratch your left ear with your right hand.

Thanks! I might keep things simple for now and loop back for more flexibility later. Worst case scenario, people can build their own image on top of mine if they need custom packages.

people can build their own image

That will result in a near-zero user base 😿

I understand, its a complex story...

Goal

• We want people to be able to work with us on other PHP projects
• We want anyone in the world to have the closest replication of our production images as possible

What this project is not

• I don't expect people to flood to this project on day one. It's mainly to make it easier for others to work with us on some other open source PHP projects

First problem to solve

• Get an open image out to people so we can replicate environments

Future problem to solve

• Make it really flexible for people to customize

I definitely do not disagree with what you are proposing. I just want to get some sort of PHP out there (strictly for testing) and I can come back to cleaning it up later.

It seems like all of the packages we have have been working well for what we need 👍
