PHP-ALPINE: Fresh PHP binaries APK repository for Alpine Linux.

Currently Supporting PHP 8.1, also, PHP 8.0 and PHP 7.4.

This project provides a simple alternative for running updated PHP binaries on Alpine Linux. We pack and release PHP versions as soon they are available on http://php.net. (At least, we try to.) Additionally, many PECL extensions are also available as packages as well.

Builds are available as soon as possible, and EOS is determined by:

• If either PHP or Alpine release reaches end of support, the repository will stop receiving updates.
• Support for both PHP and Alpine are estimated for around 2 years from release date.

Snippets

The following code snippets are intended for quick usage on either shell scripts or Dockerfile

Notice that main and community official repositories must be enabled.

Dockerfile

You may skip the ca-certificates part if you replace HTTPS by HTTP but you should not. PHP packages will eventually install ca-certificates anyway.

FROM alpine:3.11

ADD https://php.hernandev.com/key/php-alpine.rsa.pub /etc/apk/keys/php-alpine.rsa.pub

RUN apk --update-cache add ca-certificates && \
    echo "https://php.hernandev.com/v3.11/php-7.4" >> /etc/apk/repositories

# install php and some extensions
RUN apk add --update-cache \
    php \
    php-bz2 \
    php-json \
    php-mysql \
    php-any-other-available-package...
