PHP Module definitions

This document describes how to create new or alter existing PHP module definitions.

All PHP modules/extensions (for all PHP versions and both for amd64 and arm64 platforms) are defined in the php_modules/ directory in their corresponding sub directory. These definitions are then transformed to Ansible group_vars and afterwards Ansible will generate the corresponding Dockerfiles (Stage: mods).

How to add PHP modules?

Note: The below listed steps require you to have the following on your local machine installed: python3, PyYAML Python module, docker and make.

1. Inside php_modules/ directory:

   1. Create a new directory with the name of the PHP module in php_modules/
   2. Add build.yml, options.yml and test.yml into your newly created directory
   3. Alter build.yml, options.yml and test.yml according to documentation below

2. Inside the root of this git repository:

   1. Run make gen-dockerfiles to generate Dockerfiles via Ansible
   2. Run make build STAGE=mods VERSION=8.1 ARCH=linux/amd64 to build the mods Docker image with version 8.1 for platform linux/amd64

Note: If you want to test if your new module builds correctly, you can generate Dockerfiles which only contain this one module and all others removed. This allows for much faster Docker builds and you don't have to wait for all other modules to be built. To do so, generate only group_vars for your one module via:

# Commands shown here are executed from root of this repository

# Only generate Dockerfiles with PHP extension curl
# Note: if curl has other modules as requirements to be built beforehand, those will also be added
make gen-dockerfiles MODS="curl"

ℹ️ For details on how to generate modules see Abuser Documentation: Build your own image
