I have problem installing GD, so that composer would see it

Tried chatgpt to help but it took me nowhere

Problem 1

• mpdf/mpdf[v8.2.0, ..., v8.2.4] require ext-gd * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's gd extension.

I always start to hate docker when simple things like "php8.1-gd \" are not solving anything.

Besides cool repo, setup docker in 60 seconds :)

Thanks!! Here's the fix --> Add the following line to your php-fpm / Dockerfile right after the other install commands

php8.1-gd \

For example if you're using the default shipped with this repo, your new dockerfile will look like this

FROM phpdockerio/php:8.1-fpm
WORKDIR "/var/www/myapp"

# Install selected extensions and other stuff
RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install \
        php8.1-intl \
        php8.1-mysql \
        php8.1-sqlite3 \
        php8.1-gd \
    && apt-get clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* /usr/share/doc/*

To figure out how to add others in the future, use https://phpdocker.io, find the extensions you want, have it generate the files, and then add the lines it generates into your php-fpm/Docker file

... ok ... figured it out... or just luck not sure. removing images etc. was not helping but calling docker compose build --no-cache, for tenth time finally loaded GD :D

----before edit on top Yea, that's what I tried, yet still when I run composer update I get

• mpdf/mpdf[v8.2.0, ..., v8.2.4] require ext-gd * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's gd extension.

also in phpinfo() no mention of GD
