php85-alpine

What is this?

This is a custom build based on PHP 8.5's Alpine docker image, with changes to make Laravel back-end testing easily possible.

This image includes:

• PHP 8.5 with bcmath, exif, gd, intl, mysqli, pcntl, pdo_mysql, pdo_pgsql, pgsql, sodium, zip, xdebug, and imagick installed.
• Packages: curl, git, sqlite, nano, ncdu, nodejs, npm, openssh-client.
• opcache now ships with PHP by default, so it is no longer installed as a separate extension.
• The latest version of Composer (at the time of the build) also comes pre-installed in /usr/local/bin/composer.
• The latest version of PIE (at the time of the build) also comes pre-installed in /usr/local/bin/pie.

For the latest list of inclusions, see the Dockerfile.

Quick start

Docker

In order to build and then test the container:

docker buildx build . --platform linux/amd64 -t nicoverbruggen/php85-alpine \
&& docker run -it nicoverbruggen/php85-alpine sh

You may omit the --platform flag if you wish to build a container for your own architecture, but there may be issues with dependencies.

Podman

podman build . -t nicoverbruggen/php85-alpine \
&& podman run -it nicoverbruggen/php85-alpine sh

Automatic builds

The automatically build the container and have it pushed, you must:

• Tag the commit you wish to build
• Create a new release with said tag

The Docker action will automatically build the release and push it under that tag to Docker Hub.
