How to install php mongodb extension in Apps ?

Hey there!

To connect to MongoDB you would need to add "ext-mongodb": "*" to the require { ... } section of your composer.json. You would then need to run composer update to regenerate your composer.lock file.

DigitalOcean MongoDB instances require connecting with a CA certificate. You can use bind variables to inject it by creating an environment variable like: CA_CERT=${db-mongodb-nyc1-12345.CA_CERT}.

Hope this helps! Nate

Hello there,

When using PHP apps in the App Platform we recommend using Composer to configure them. This would allow you to specify GD Library in your composer.json file and have it installed.

If the composer is set to include the GD option then it should pull the image with it enabled. If the composer isn’t an option you can use a Dockerfile instead and have it install the GD library during the build process.

To install PHP GD you would need to use Composer with your app to specify that version.

Something like this should work:

{
    "require": {
        "ext-mongodb": "*"
    }
}

Then Run Composer Update to update your lock file.
