How to install php-redis extension using the official PHP Docker image approach?

Question

I want to build my PHP-FPM image with php-redis extension based on the official PHP Docker image, for example, using this Dockerfile: php:5.6-fpm.

The docs

Answer 1

Slightly revised version of starikovs and skyred answers for current version of the docker image. Tested on php:5-fpm-alpine

# install phpredis extension
ENV PHPREDIS_VERSION 2.2.8

ADD https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/$PHPREDIS_VERSION.tar.gz /tmp/redis.tar.gz
RUN tar xzf /tmp/redis.tar.gz -C /tmp \
    && mkdir -p /usr/src/php/ext \
    && mv /tmp/phpredis-$PHPREDIS_VERSION /usr/src/php/ext/redis \
    && echo 'redis' >> /usr/src/php-available-exts \
    && docker-php-ext-install redis \
    && rm -rf /usr/src/php/ext/redis

Answer 2

I'm using combination of PECL and PHP official docker extension script

RUN pecl bundle -d /usr/src/php/ext redis \
&& rm /usr/src/php/ext/redis-*.tgz \
&& docker-php-ext-install redis

For PHP7 you need to wait for official redis pecl release or use git:

RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install git -y -q \
&& git clone -b php7 https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis.git /usr/src/php/ext/redis \
&& docker-php-ext-install redis

Answer 3

This works for alpine images:

RUN set -xe \
    && apk add --no-cache --update --virtual .phpize-deps $PHPIZE_DEPS \
    && pecl install -o -f redis  \
    && echo "extension=redis.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/redis.ini \
    && rm -rf /usr/share/php \
    && rm -rf /tmp/* \
    && apk del  .phpize-deps

Edit: Added missing backslash

Answer 4

My opinion, the easiest way is:

RUN pecl install redis && docker-php-ext-enable redis

;)

Answer 5

Tried few ways. On alpine php 7.3.5 we can use:

RUN apk add --no-cache pcre-dev $PHPIZE_DEPS \
        && pecl install redis \
        && docker-php-ext-enable redis.so
