docker php7.2-fpm can't install imap module

I\'m having problems trying to get imap working with my docker-compose.

Here is what my php dockerfile looks like.

FROM php:7.2-fpm

RUN apt-get upda

Actual in 2020 for PHP 7.4 and PHP 8 on Linux Alpine

RUN apk add imap-dev krb5-dev
RUN docker-php-ext-configure imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl \
        && docker-php-ext-install imap \
        && docker-php-ext-enable imap

Here is a PHP 7 cli working answer, posted on the official library here

FROM php:7-cli-alpine

RUN set -xe && \
    apk add --update --no-cache \
        imap-dev \
        openssl-dev \
        krb5-dev && \
    (docker-php-ext-configure imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl) && \
    (docker-php-ext-install imap > /dev/null) && \
    php -m | grep -F 'imap'

Answer 2

To use imap module with PHP in Docker you must configure extension like this

docker-php-ext-configure imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl

You can see an example of Dockerfile in one of my project

Answer 3

Solved it by using

RUN apt update && apt install -y libc-client-dev libkrb5-dev && rm -r /var/lib/apt/

RUN docker-php-ext-configure imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl && docker-php-ext-install imap
