I'm trying to run a Laravel 11 app that uses imagemagick to shrink images.
I did installed imagemagick through apt-get and using nix pkg php82Extensions.imagick but got no success, always get "Imagick PHP extension must be installed to use this driver." back when I try to run it.
Currently I have this nixpacks config set:
[variables]
UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE = '100M'
POST_MAX_SIZE = '100M'
[phases.setup]
aptPkgs = ["...", "jpegoptim", "optipng", "pngquant", "gifsicle", "webp", "libavif-bin", "php-mbstring", "autoconf", "g++", "imagemagick", "libtool", "make"]
nixPkgs = ["...", "php82Extensions.imagick"]
cmds = ['UPLOAD_INI_PATH=$(find /nix/store/*-php-*/lib -name php.ini -print0 | head -z -n 1 | rev | cut -c 9- | rev)/upload.ini; echo "upload_max_filesize=${UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE};" >> $UPLOAD_INI_PATH; echo "post_max_size=${POST_MAX_SIZE};" >> $UPLOAD_INI_PATH']
[phases.prepare]
dependsOn = ["build"]
cmds = ["php artisan storage:link"]

Same issue here.
[phases.setup]
aptPkgs = ['imagemagick', 'libssl-dev', 'libmagickwand-dev', 'libimagemagick-dev']
nixPkgs = ['php81', 'php81Extensions.imagick', 'nginx', 'curl', 'nodejs', 'imagemagick', 'openssl', 'composer']
PHP reports the extension is not installed.

I don't have experience with PHP but you both would likely have better luck developing a Dockerfile to run your app how you want and with that extensions you want, than configuring nixpacks.

Okay, perhaps I will try that. Thanks.

If I could, I would help you write that Dockerfile but I just don't have the PHP experience needed.

For Nixpacks, you also need to install them in the composer.json file. More information is found here, nixpacks.com/docs/providers/php.

Hey Jr. I will test that.
Tried rolling my own docker file. Funny is that it was working locally and same package not found was happening on the deploy.

Thanks both. I was able to get it working with a Dockerfile. I may investigate the Nixpacks approach in the future but need to get this to production by tomorrow :)
