php84-alpine

What is this?

This is a custom build based on PHP 8.4's Alpine docker image, with changes to make Laravel back-end testing easily possible.

This image includes:

• PHP 8.4 with bcmath, exif, gd, intl, mysqli, opcache, pcntl, pdo_mysql, pdo_pgsql, pgsql, sodium, xdebug, zip and imagick installed
• Packages: curl, git, sqlite, nano, ncdu, nodejs, npm
• Composer also comes pre-installed

For the latest list of inclusion, see the Dockerfile.

Quick start

In order to build and then test the container:

docker buildx build . --platform linux/amd64 -t nicoverbruggen/php84-alpine \
&& docker run -it nicoverbruggen/php84-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.

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.

Example usage

.gitlab-ci.yml

tests:
  only:
    - main
  image: nicoverbruggen/php84-alpine:latest
  script:
    - cp .env.ci .env
    - cp .env.ci .env.testing
    - composer install
    - npm install --silent
    - npm run production
    - touch ./database/tests.sqlite
    - vendor/bin/pest --coverage --colors=never
