⁠How to use pecl and docker-php-ext-*

Before using pecl or docker-php-ext-* commands, add the following statement to the Dockerfile:

RUN apk add --no-cache --virtual .build-deps $PHPIZE_DEPS

Then use pecl and docker-php-ext-* commands as usual, for instance:

# Install the PHP mysqli extention
RUN docker-php-ext-install mysqli && \
    docker-php-ext-enable mysqli

After all such commands, cleanup with:

RUN apk del --no-network .build-deps
RUN rm -rf /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
