Database Drivers / and stuff?

[computamike]

Hi @edent and OB community - I was wondering if you could help me out?

(I'm not a php guy - I have done stuff with php in the past)

I'm working on a docker file for #332, allowing a developer to clone the repo - run a docker-compose command, and get up and running for development.

I have it (i think) mostly working but when I try and set it up, I'm having to add some extra packages.

I added the recent composer.json file - and performed a composer install .

I'm seeing this error in the console :

so - to get past that I ran a composer require doctrine/orm

And now I get this error -

which I think is due to the DB Connection string - so I set that in line with the docs - and I get the same error.

I think based on the URL - mysqli: - but I can't figure out how to install it?

I'll do more research - but was wondering if anyone had any idea about this?

I literally woke up this morning and I thought - Mysqli is going to be a PHP extension - I think all i have to do is configure it to be enabled.

You probably want something like this in your Dockerfile:

RUN docker-php-ext-install mysqli pdo pdo_mysql

That will install and enable the relevant extensions.

If you haven't already have a look at https://github.com/openbenches/openbenches.org/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md which mentions some packages which are needed.
