A shell script that simplifies installing PHP extensions inside official PHP Docker images. It automatically resolves and installs required APT/APK packages and cleans them up afterward to keep images small.
Use cases
- install PHP extensions in a Dockerfile
- add gd and xdebug to a php docker image
- build a slim PHP docker image with extensions
- install PHP extensions on Alpine-based images
- avoid manually installing PHP extension dependencies in Docker
When to choose
- You use official PHP Docker images (Debian or Alpine based) and need extensions
- You want minimal image size with automatic dependency cleanup
- You want a one-line solution in your Dockerfile
When to avoid
- You don't use Docker for your PHP setup
- You need extensions on non-official PHP images or non-Linux platforms
- You require fully pinned, auditable builds without downloading scripts at build time
