Now also available as module in the php:remi-8.2 stream

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is sodium missing from the php82 package?

Here is what I do:

yum install -y \
        https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm \
        https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm \
        yum-utils \
        epel-release \
        curl

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php82

yum update -y && yum upgrade -y

yum install --setopt=skip_missing_names_on_install=False -y \
        php82-php-cli-8.2.0~rc5-18.el7.remi.x86_64

(I want to install an exact version)

php -i shows that sodium is not installed.

Thank you for the help!

[mnapoli]

Oh additionally, as a side question relating to the PHP 8.2 package:

https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php82/x86_64/repoview/php-cli.html shows that the version is php-8.2.0~RC5-6.el7.remi.x86_64. However yum install php82-php-cli-8.2.0~RC5-6.el7.remi.x86_64 fails as there is no such package.

I had to find out that the version is actually php82-php-cli-8.2.0~rc5-18.el7.remi.x86_64. Should I look somewhere else (different web page) to find the latest version available?

[remicollet]

@mnapoli confused by module (single version) and SCL (multiple versions), see FAQ and

• https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php82/x86_64/repoview/php-cli.html (module)
• https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/x86_64/repoview/php82-php-cli.html (SCL)

Reminder: see the Wizard instructions for proper configuration / usage

[remicollet]

php -i shows that sodium is not installed.

As for every extension, if you need it, you must install it (as explained by the wizard), so php-sodium or php82-php-sodium

What is wrong in your docker is that you enable "remi-php82" which provides the single version "php-*" and then install php82-php-cli, which is in "remi", or "remi-safe" repository (again, see the wizard)

You are also using the very old C7 distribution, which is close to its end of life, you should prefer a modern version (EL-8 or EL-9) especially to run modern software (as PHP 8.2). Everything is old on EL-7

P.S well... not C7 but amzn images... the Frankenstein image

[deleugpn]

We need EL-7 because of Amazon Linux 2, which is the OS behind AWS Lambda. Not sure if we can get EL-8 or EL-9 to work with AL2. If you have any pointers we would love it!
