I try to work out a way to create a dev environment using docker and laravel.

I have the following dockerfile:

FROM php:7.1.3-fpm RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmcrypt-dev \ mysql-client libmagickwand-dev --no-install-recommends \ && pecl install imagick \ && docker-php-ext-enable imagick \ && docker-php-ext-install mcrypt pdo_mysql && chmod -R o+rw laravel-master/bootstrap laravel-master/storage 

Laravel requires composer to call composer dump-autoload when working with database migration. Therefore, I need composer inside the docker container.

I tried:

RUN curl -sS | php -- \ --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer 

But when I call

docker-compose up docker-compose exec app composer dump-autoload 

It throws the following error:

rpc error: code = 13 desc = invalid header field value "oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"exec: \\\"composer\\\": executable file not found in $PATH\"\n" 

I would be more than happy for advice how I can add composer to the PATH within my dockerfile or what else I can do to surpass this error.

Thanks for your support. Also: this is the gitub repository if you need to see the docker-compose.yml file or anything else.

In Dockerfile :

COPY --from=composer:latest /usr/bin/composer /usr/local/bin/composer

I can install composer adding this line on my test dockerfile:

# Install Composer RUN curl -sS | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer 

Here is the dockerfile:

FROM php:7.1.3-fpm RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmcrypt-dev \ mysql-client libmagickwand-dev --no-install-recommends \ && pecl install imagick \ && docker-php-ext-enable imagick \ && docker-php-ext-install mcrypt pdo_mysql # Install Composer RUN curl -sS | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer 

It works for me, to test if the composer are installed i access to my container bash and execute:

composer --version Composer version 1.6.5 2018-05-04 11:44:59

This is how i do it with Laravel 8.4 in 2021 to deploy it to CloudRun in Google Cloud:

Dockerfile

#Get Composer FROM composer:2.0 as vendor WORKDIR /app COPY database/ database/ COPY composer.json composer.json COPY composer.lock composer.lock RUN composer install \ --no-interaction \ --no-plugins \ --no-scripts \ --no-dev \ --prefer-dist COPY . . RUN composer dump-autoload 

// some more custom steps like

FROM node:14.9 as frontend ... FROM php:7.4-fpm ... 

// Copy Composer dependencies

# Copy Composer dependencies COPY --from=vendor app/vendor/ ./vendor/ COPY . . 

// Some more custom steps

... 

End of my Dockerfile to launch app with cleared optimized cache

# Run Laravel commands RUN php artisan optimize:clear CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 EXPOSE 8080

Create an executable of your composer file using

RUN curl -sS | php -- \ --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer && chmod +x /usr/bin/composer

We have basicly the same command running with the difference,

--install-dir=/usr/local/bin 

Alternatively, you should add the composer bin files path to the $PATH variable.

export PATH=$PATH":/usr/bin" 

I'd just like to suggest another way.

Dockerfile:

RUN php -r "readfile(');" | php -- --install-dir=/usr/bin/ --filename=composer 
FROM php:7.3-fpm-alpine RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql RUN docker-php-ext-install mysqli && docker-php-ext-enable mysqli RUN php -r "readfile(');" | php -- --install-dir=/usr/bin/ --filename=composer RUN apk update RUN apk upgrade RUN apk add bash RUN alias composer='php /usr/bin/composer' 

use composer in dockerfile using curl

RUN curl -sS | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer 

Dockerfile

FROM 8.1.4-fpm RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ git \ curl \ zip \ unzip RUN curl -sS | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer WORKDIR /var/www 

My problem solved. I just stopped firewalld service on system
