Hi Internals.
PHP currently does not provide official container images. Given that DockerHub
adequately maintains these and considering the maintenance costs, we haven't
felt the need to change the status quo.
However, the official DockerHub images lack debug builds, which can be somewhat
inconvenient when trying to report bugs or reproduce issues.
What if we were to provide debug build container images that are compatible
with the official DockerHub images? Fortunately, we already conduct most of our
development on GitHub, which has a container registry called Packages.
This could be achieved simply by creating a single repository under the php
organization on GitHub. What are your thoughts on this?
Best Regards.

Since the folks who do the DockerHub builds already have all the infrastructure
set up to maintain the images, I think it might be easier to work with them to
have them provide debug builds.
Perhaps there’s someone from that team on this list who can speak to that?
Cheers,

Hey Ben,
what I'd _really_ like to see is not debug-builds, but debug symbols.
Basically, you'd have a docker image "php:8.3" and a docker image
"php:8.3-dbgsym". The former image then just has a gnu_debuglink. The latter has the
actual symbols file included and is based on the former.
Thanks,
Bob
I think the team who manages the Docker builds could also provide images with
debug symbols. Since they’re already equipped for it and have the experience,
why don’t we partner with them to provide these images to the community?
Cheers,
Ben
Yes. Absolutely.
The problem, however, if you want to provide a build with debug symbols
and one without, the primary value for me would be being able to take a
core dump produced in an image without debug symbols and then simply
open the image with debug symbols and inspect it there.
To the best of my knowledge however, it isn't trivially possible to
build two docker images with the same docker build invocation. Basically
you'd need an intermediary image, from which you then create both (so, 3
different docker builds - one base image which has the build and the
symbols but is not uploaded. And two images where the base images files
are copied into.). I believe this would not be compatible with the way
docker-library/php is built currently.
So, yes, please reach out to them what they are willing to do.
Thanks,
Bob
