Adding php-imagick extension to Alpine Docker container fails

[4d4ch4u32]

I try to add the imagick php extension to my Docker container:

FROM php:8.3-fpm-alpine AS base

RUN apk add --update --no-cache --virtual .build-deps $PHPIZE_DEPS imagemagick imagemagick-dev \
    && pecl install imagick \
    && docker-php-ext-enable imagick \
    &&  rm -rf /tmp/pear \
    && apk del .build-deps

The process fails with the following error:

14.37 PHP-Parser-5.0.0/phpstan.neon.dist
14.38 Saved /tmp/pear/temp/imagick/ImagickPixel_arginfo.h

Encountering this since php 8.3.10 on CentOs 9 with default install options by pear as well.

See #640, known issue.

It seems like master has a fix but no release yet has a fix. Either one needs to wait for a release or build from source.

Not making light of OSS being hard, but IMO if you can get away with using the gd extension instead I'd go that route.

This extension hasn't seen a healthy amount of development in over a year.

This works for me in PHP 8.3 - 8.3.11

# Install Imagick - works in PHP 8.3
