I got a working php-fpm docker container acting as the php backend to a nginx frontend. What I mean by working, is that it renders phpinfo output in the browser as expected. My php-fpm container was produced by php-fpm-7.4 prod of the devilbox docker repo. It has OCI8 enable.
The issue: I keep getting ORA-28547 when trying oci_connect
What I have done:
1--add /usr/lib/oracle/client64/lib to a file inside ld.so.conf.d and run ldconfig -v
2--restart docker container.
3-- Now phpinfo shows ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/client64/lib
4--Add tnsnames.ora to /usr/lib/oracle/client6/lib/network/admin (there is a README.md file inside that folder that even tells you to do that) 5--Restart docker container again. 6-oci_connect still fails with the same error.
What I am missing?
Thank you very much for any pointers, I think I have browsed to the end of the internet and back without finding a solution yet.
----SOLUTION: reinstall instantclient, relink libraries (ldconfig) to use new instantclient libraries. Create modified dockerfile to do it when container is created.
I modified the Dockerfile file of the php-fpm to add new instant client files and not the one that were provided by the original file. I was not able to make it work with them. I have tried a few times rebuilding the image (docker-compose up --build) and this is the file that does the trick:
FROM devilbox/php-fpm:7.4-work
#instantclient.conf content: /opt/instantclient
RUN echo "/opt/instantclient" >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/instantclient.conf
WORKDIR /opt
RUN wget https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/19800/instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-19.8.0.0.0dbru.zip

Can you please check
https://github.com/caffeinalab/php-fpm-oci8/blob/master/Dockerfile
which seems to create a p-fpm-oci8 docker image
the "wget" for
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caffeinalab/php-fpm-oci8/master/oracle/instantclient-basic-linux.x64-12.2.0.1.0.zip | bsdtar -xvf- -C /usr/local &&

can be dropped when you place downloaded instant client files into local host dir
/usr/local
and extract them - resulting in
/usr/local/instantcient_12_2 or 18, 19c equivalents
the 4 "ln" commands have to be adjusted to reflect the local host instantclient dir
the tnsnames.ora for instantclient is available from host by VOLUME command
-------------FINAL SOLUTION------------(it was not network related, I had done a couple of changes to the files, and also tried a different database, all at the same time, so it made me think that it was the different database what fixed the issue)
After many trial and errors, I came up with a Dockerfile that creates the correct configuration of files and connects without any issues to the database:
--Dockerfile: (to build php-fpm 7.4 using devilbox image)
Final solution:
I modified the Dockerfile file of the php-fpm to add new instant client files and not the one that were provided by the original file. I was not able to make it work with them. I have tried a few times rebuilding the image (docker-compose up --build) and this is the file that does the trick:
