Need help installing ioncube loader on EE4

[Shahriar_Shojib]

Hey Guys,
I’ve been trying to install ioncube on EE4 and used the following docker file.

FROM php:7.2-fpm
RUN set -ex; \
    \
    curl --connect-timeout 10 -o ioncube.tar.gz -fkSL "https://www.ioncube.com/php-7.2.0-beta-loaders/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64_BETA.tar.gz"; \
    tar -zxvf ioncube.tar.gz; \
    cp ioncube_loader_lin_7.2_10.1.0_beta.so /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20170718/ioncube.so; \
    rm -Rf ioncube*; \
    echo "zend_extension=ioncube.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/01-ioncube.ini;

docker build .

The script succeeds and I restart my site with following command:

ee site restart site.com

But on my phpinfo.php page I don’t see ioncube being enabled and no mention of the 01-ioncube.ini file.
I am new to docker and easyengine and I am pretty sure I am missing something right now.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I tried the following dockerfile without any luck

FROM easyengine/php:v4.0.0
RUN set -ex; \
    \
    curl --connect-timeout 10 -o ioncube.tar.gz -fkSL "[url removed because of new user restriction] 
    tar -zxvf ioncube.tar.gz; \
    cp ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.2.so /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug$
    rm -Rf ioncube*; \
    echo "zend_extension=ioncube.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/01-ioncube.ini;

I found a fix myself.
This is just a workaround until there is an official way to do it:
I created ioncube.ini file in

/opt/easyengine/sites/“site name”/config/php/php/conf.d/

With following contents:

zend_extension =  /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/ioncube_loader_lin_7.2.so

And placed the same file on same folder and restarted the site using ee site restart "sitename"

Bonus

To install enable php extensions that are not enabled by default run a shell using following command:

ee shell “sitename” --user=root

And run following command to install and enable pdo_mysql

docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql && docker-php-ext-enable pdo pdo_mysql
