Docker php 7.1 imagick

Question

Docker php 7.1 imagick:-

pecl install imagick \
&& docker-php-ext-enable imagick \

• No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/imagick" install failed

• ERROR: Service 'app' failed to build

Answer 1

From the official docker image docs:

"E: Package 'php-XXX' has no installation candidate"

As of docker-library/php#542, this image blocks the installation of Debian's PHP packages. There is some additional discussion of this change in docker-library/php#551 (comment), but the gist is that installing Debian's PHP packages in this image leads to two conflicting installations of PHP in a single image, which is almost certainly not the intended outcome.

For those broken by this change and looking for a workaround to apply in the meantime while a proper fix is developed, adding the following simple line to your Dockerfile should remove the block (with the strong caveat that this will allow the installation of a second installation of PHP, which is definitely not what you're looking for unless you really know what you're doing):

RUN rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/no-debian-php

The proper solution to this error is to either use FROM debian:XXX and install Debian's PHP packages directly, or to use docker-php-ext-install, pecl, and/or phpize to install the necessary additional extensions and utilities.

The Solution

Dockerfile:

FROM php:7.1

RUN apt update && \
    apt upgrade && \
    apt install -y libmagickwand-dev --no-install-recommends && \
    pecl install imagick && docker-php-ext-enable imagick && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Build it with:

$ sudo docker build -t exadra37/php-imagick:7.1 .

... some output ommitted ....

Answer 2

The answer from @Exadra37 is correct. But please note that you can also remove some APT packages after the installation of the PHP extension (they are needed only to compile/install the extension, not to use it - you'll save almost 200 MB):

FROM php:7.1

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y libmagickwand-dev && \
    pecl install imagick && \
    docker-php-ext-enable imagick && \
    apt-get remove --purge -y automake autotools-dev bzip2-doc fontconfig gir1.2-freedesktop gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 gir1.2-glib-2.0 gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 icu-devtools javascript-common libblkid-dev libbz2-dev libcairo-gobject2 libcairo-script-interpreter2 libcairo2 libcairo2-dev libcroco3 libdatrie1 libdjvulibre-dev libdjvulibre-text libdjvulibre21 libelf1 libexif-dev libexif-doc libexif12 libexpat1-dev libffi-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libfribidi0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgirepository-1.0-1 libglib2.0-bin libglib2.0-data libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin libgraphite2-3 libharfbuzz0b libice-dev libice6 libicu-dev libilmbase-dev libilmbase23 libjbig-dev libjpeg-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libjs-jquery libjxr-tools libjxr0 liblcms2-dev liblqr-1-0-dev libltdl-dev liblzma-dev liblzo2-2 libmagickcore-6-arch-config libmagickcore-6-headers libmagickcore-6.q16-6-extra libmagickcore-6.q16-dev libmagickwand-6-headers libmagickwand-6.q16-dev libmagickwand-dev libmount-dev libmpdec2 libopenexr-dev libopenexr23 libopenjp2-7-dev libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libpangoft2-1.0-0 libpcre16-3 libpcre3-dev libpcre32-3 libpcrecpp0v5 libpixman-1-0 libpixman-1-dev libpng-dev libpng-tools libpthread-stubs0-dev libpython3-stdlib libpython3.7-minimal libpython3.7-stdlib libreadline7 librsvg2-2 librsvg2-common librsvg2-dev libselinux1-dev libsepol1-dev libsm-dev libsm6 libthai-data libthai0 libtiff-dev libtiffxx5 libtool libwmf-dev libwmf0.2-7 libx11-dev libxau-dev libxcb-render0 libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-shm0 libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb1-dev libxdmcp-dev libxext-dev libxml2-dev libxrender-dev libxrender1 libxt-dev libxt6 mime-support python3 python3-distutils python3-lib2to3 python3-minimal python3.7 python3.7-minimal readline-common shared-mime-info uuid-dev x11-common x11proto-core-dev x11proto-dev x11proto-xext-dev xorg-sgml-doctools xtrans-dev zlib1g-dev && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Managing the list of required APT packages may be a mess, so I developer a script to do that. You can simply write something like this:

FROM php:7.1

COPY --from=mlocati/php-extension-installer /usr/bin/install-php-extensions /usr/bin/

RUN install-php-extensions imagick

This install-php-extensions script supports the PHP extensions listed here
