Installed extensions are not enabled

[4r7if3x]

I'm using the official PHP docker image with Alpine. As far as I remember, an ini file was made per each installed extension by this tool, including extension=<name>.so in order to load these modules, but it doesn't happen on my new PHP 7.4 installation. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here:

FROM php:7.4-cli-alpine

ARG BUILD_DEPENDENCIES="freetype-dev gettext-dev icu-dev imagemagick-dev libjpeg-turbo-dev libpng-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libzip-dev oniguruma-dev openssl-dev pcre-dev pcre-dev vips-dev yaml-dev"
ARG PHP_DEPENDENCIES="ca-certificates icu-libs imagemagick libintl libxslt libzip openssl vips yaml"
ARG PHP_EXTENSIONS="bcmath ctype dom exif fileinfo gd intl mbstring mysqli pcntl pdo pdo_mysql sockets sqlite3 zip yaml"
ARG PECL_EXTENSIONS="imagick mcrypt redis"
...
RUN apk add --update --no-cache ${PHP_DEPENDENCIES} \
    && apk add --virtual build-dependencies --no-cache ${PHPIZE_DEPS} ${BUILD_DEPENDENCIES} \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype --with-jpeg --with-webp \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) ${PHP_EXTENSIONS} \
    && pecl install ${PECL_EXTENSIONS} \
    && docker-php-ext-enable ${PECL_EXTENSIONS} \
    && apk del build-dependencies
...
COPY "./config/php/php.ini" "${PHP_INI_DIR}/php.ini"

There are no settings related to extensions on my customized ini file, but the files in /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/ directory are being loaded, but there is only one file there: docker-php-ext-sodium.ini

P.S. Do you approve of the way I made a distinction between build & runtime dependencies? + Am I missing something there or with pre-configurations?

This project is about the install-php-extensions command, not about the stock docker-php-ext-configure / docker-php-ext-install / docker-php-ext-enable commands.

Oh sorry, I didn't know the difference...

[mlocati]

No worries!

PS: what about switching to install-php-extensions? You won't need to waste your time determining the dependencies required to build PHP extensions (I already did it for you for many extensions), and, after the extensions have been installed, install-php-extensions uninstalls the system packages required only at build time (saving disk space).

Thanks for the clarification. I honestly thought they are the same! :D This actually was one of my own concerns that why dependency management is not included...
