PECL is deprecated and the php-extension-installer doesn't work correctly anymore

[hookenz]

Steps To Reproduce

So PHP Extension installer downloads from PECL.
But this is deprecated as of some time last week with the owner suggesting to move to PIE which is a new official php extension install.

So there is some work to do.

Outcome

What did you expect?

In dockerfile

RUN install-php-extensions xdebug

No longer works. It did a few weeks ago.

What happened instead?

Package not available on PECL error and the container did not build.

Affected Docker Images

Should affect all of them.

Anything else?

No response

This is my workaround. I think the fix is to install pie into the serversideup/php images in a manner similar to below.

See: https://php.github.io/pie/#docs/usage

COPY --chmod=755 --from=ghcr.io/php/pie:bin /pie /usr/local/bin/pie

# Or a specific version:

COPY --chmod=755 --from=ghcr.io/php/pie:1.4.9-bin /pie /usr/local/bin/pie

# Then e.g.
RUN pie install xdebug/xdebug
