Hi, When creating a new laravel application with fly, the Dockerfile created uses an image from `fideloper/fly-laravel:${PHP_VERSION} as base`. This works alright but I need my image to contain the `postgres-client` or `pg_dump` package for me to use _spatie laravel backups_ to backup my database. Apparently, I am not able to sudo apt install new packages once using the `fideloper/fly-laravel:8.2` package. I checked out the image on docker hub [https://hub.docker.com/r/fideloper/fly-laravel/tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/fideloper/fly-laravel/tags) but it looks like it’s not linked to any github account for me to see and perhaps customize the Dockerfile. In this case, I want to customize the Dockerfile, are there any suggestions or ways I can do that to enable `pg_dump`? ---

That’s weird because I can install custom package with the same image. Here I have my Mongodb install in my Dockerfile ```auto RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ php${PHP_VERSION}-mongodb \ && apt-get clean \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* ``` ---

Thanks for this suggestion. @AsymetricalData I realized I was using sudo and that was one of the factors causing the commands to fail. In the end, I was also missing the postgres linux source. I was also getting errors, `Unable to find package information`. So I ended up using this to add the client: ```auto RUN curl -sS https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/pgdg.gpg >/dev/null RUN echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/pgdg.gpg] http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt focal-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y postgresql-client-13 ``` PS: I got the above command from laravel sail 8.2 Dockerfile. The change I had to make was to use `focal-pgdg` instead of `jammy-pgdg` for the postgres deb repo source as the laravel base image uses ubuntu 22.04. ---

Hey there! Sorry for the trouble on this - If you want to take a peak, the repository generating those Docker images is found here: [GitHub - fly-apps/laravel-docker: Base Docker images for use with Laravel on Fly.io](https://github.com/fly-apps/laravel-docker) I’ll add that to the readme. ---

> [@fideloper-fly](#): > > GitHub - fly-apps/laravel-docker: Base Docker images for use with Laravel on [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) Oh good, thanks very much. I wanted to take a peak at it earlier but could not find the Dockerfile ---

Just a quick note: I’ve setup the git repository to rebuild the images every 3 days so the latest minor (point releases) of PHP get updated in the base images: > **[GitHub - fly-apps/laravel-docker: Base Docker images for use with Laravel on...](https://github.com/fly-apps/laravel-docker)** > > Base Docker images for use with Laravel on Fly.io.
