Command reference

The images add helper commands to /usr/local/bin for installing packages and extensions, fixing file permissions, and checking Laravel processes.

Every command from the official PHP image, such as docker-php-ext-install and pecl, also works. The images run as www-data, so commands marked Requires USER root need USER root in your Dockerfile and USER www-data again afterward.
