Imagick PDF decorators missing on Alpine 3.19

[eddy84]

Version of install-php-extensions

latest

Error description

As written in this issue:
ImageMagick/ImageMagick#6935

Imagick packages were split up into separate packages on alpine:3.19

We can't use imagick with PDFs anymore because imagemagick-pdf needs to be installed

I had to restrict our docker image to the previous version for now:
php:8.2-fpm-alpine3.18

Docker image

php:8.2-fpm-alpine

Minimal Dockerfile

ADD https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/releases/latest/download/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/
RUN chmod uga+x /usr/local/bin/install-php-extensions && sync

# Install php extensions

      curl \
      exif \
      gd \

Indeed, it would be nice to know why we can't install imagick for PHP 8.3. I assume these extra dependencies for Alpine 3.19+ will need to be listed somewhere.

I too will need to stick with PHP 8.2 on Alpine 3.18 as a result, for now.

See Imagick/imagick#641

Thanks @mlocati, I landed there in the end after a little searching. Guess we're just waiting for the upstream. 🙂

Indeed.

Before Alpine 3.18 we had to use this hack https://github.com/mvorisek/image-php/blob/a38b8a1ac588e68e5ed74a59dbd97b17e0b3a710/data/8.2-alpine/Dockerfile#L38 to reduce the image size.

related with upstream change https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/61dce5f6a84d9f96ab7aa6437f12d2845b572ed8

I belive some basic codes like pdf should be always present on all OS (Debian, Alpine). Not sure is any codec still require the useless Ghostscript CLI app.

Hi — did anyone figure out a workaround for this?
