Installing Jenssegers/MongoDB in a Laravel Sail 8.0 environment

Question

So I've managed to do a clean install of Laravel in Windows using WSL2. One of the requirements of my project is to have two databases running at the same time mysql and mongodb.

I added an image of MongoDB in my docker-compose.yml as the dock-hub tells me, but when I try to add the jenssegers/laravel-mongodb package sail tells me I don't have the correct requirements.

How do I connect both containers properly, so I can install the package without any issues?

Logs:

~/example-app$ sail composer require jenssegers/mongodb:"^3.8"
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update jenssegers/mongodb

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
    - jenssegers/mongodb[v3.8.0, ..., v3.8.1] require mongodb/mongodb ^1.6 -> satisfiable by mongodb/mongodb[1.6.0, ..., 1.9.x-dev (alias of dev-master)].
    - mongodb/mongodb 1.9.x-dev is an alias of mongodb/mongodb dev-master and thus requires it to be installed too.
    - mongodb/mongodb[dev-master, 1.8.0-RC1, ..., v1.8.x-dev] require ext-mongodb ^1.8.1 -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's mongodb extension.
    - mongodb/mongodb[1.6.0, ..., v1.6.x-dev] require php ^5.6 || ^7.0 -> your php version (8.0.0) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - mongodb/mongodb[1.7.0-beta1, ..., v1.7.x-dev] require php ^7.0 -> your php version (8.0.0) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - Root composer.json requires jenssegers/mongodb ^3.8 -> satisfiable by jenssegers/mongodb[v3.8.0, v3.8.1].

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:

You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Answer 1

I manage to install this package :3 First I extract Docker config, by run this command

php artisan sail:publish

then edit file docker/8.0/Dockerfile, add following lines after the RUN apt- one

RUN pecl install mongodb

RUN echo "extension=mongodb.so" > /etc/php/8.0/cli/php.ini

save it, then run this command to rebuild docker

sail build --no-cache
