Deploy Laravel with GitlabCI failed on mcrypt extension

[polaroi8d]

I would like to deploy my project on Gitlab CI with a yaml file. Dumped the following error log when I tried to install php extensions...

$ docker-php-ext-install mbstring mcrypt pdo_mysql curl json intl gd xml zip bz2 opcache
error: /usr/src/php/ext/mcrypt does not exist

usage: /usr/local/bin/docker-php-ext-install [-jN] ext-name [ext-name ...]
   ie: /usr/local/bin/docker-php-ext-install gd mysqli
       /usr/local/bin/docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql
       /usr/local/bin/docker-php-ext-install -j5 gd mbstring mysqli pdo pdo_mysql shmop

if custom ./configure arguments are necessary, see docker-php-ext-configure

Possible values for ext-name:
bcmath bz2 calendar ctype curl dba dom enchant exif fileinfo filter ftp gd gettext gmp hash iconv imap interbase intl json ldap mbstring mysqli oci8 odbc opcache pcntl pdo pdo_dblib pdo_firebird pdo_mysql pdo_oci pdo_odbc pdo_pgsql pdo_sqlite pgsql phar posix pspell readline recode reflection session shmop simplexml snmp soap sockets sodium spl standard sysvmsg sysvsem sysvshm tidy tokenizer wddx xml xmlreader xmlrpc xmlwriter xsl zend_test zip

Some of the above modules are already compiled into PHP; please check
the output of "php -i" to see which modules are already loaded.
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

I tried to add apt-get install mcrypt php7.0-mcrypt but nothing happend. Anyone has a suggestion?

Hi @polaroi8d can you provide the base image name you're using?

[polaroi8d]

Hello @bweston92 I am always using the latest image from https://hub.docker.com/r/library/php/ with the command of image: php:latest

[bweston92]

Ok by looking at the registry php:latest is php:7.2, mcrypt is no longer supported in PHP 7.2

[polaroi8d]

Ohhh, I don't know it. What is the last version of php where mcrypt is supported? @bweston92

[bweston92]

PHP 7.1

In PHP 7.2 you can install mcrypt via PECL

In PHP 7.2 you can install mcrypt via PECL

And how do you add it in the php.ini or to the image?

Build process completed successfully Installing '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20170718/mcrypt.so' install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mcrypt-1.0.1 configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location You should add "extension=mcrypt.so" to php.ini

Because after that you get this
Step 7/9 : RUN docker-php-ext-install mcrypt pdo pdo_mysql zip ---> Running in e789ef243e8b error: /usr/src/php/ext/mcrypt does not exist

Turns out I didn't have to update the php.ini file... I removed mcrypt from docker-php-ext-install
and just added these lines

RUN pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1
RUN docker-php-ext-enable mcrypt

and it run without giving me an error. I was creating an image to run a Laravel 5.7 application (which I think still needs mcrypt) using the CI of gitlab. The image was created successfully and the tests run well.

Many thanks.
