Help: phalcon installation problem on my docker / laradock

Hi, I'm trying to install phalcon thru my custom laradock php-fpm dockerfile, but it is not working as expected.

In the docker file I have this line:

ARG PHALCONPHP=false
RUN if [ ${PHALCONPHP} = true ]; then \
    # Install the phalcon-php extension
    curl -s "https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/phalcon/stable/script.deb.sh" | bash && \
    apt-get install -y php7.0-phalcon \
;fi

When running that line, the error it shows:

Step 31/38 : RUN if [ ${PHALCONPHP} = true ]; then     curl -s "https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/phalcon/stable/script.deb.sh" | bash &&     apt-get install -y php7.0-phalcon ;fi

I searched, googled, but couldn't find any good answers. Would need your help.

It appears that your container has the wrong version of PHP for Phalcon.

If you are using this laradok file https://hub.docker.com/r/laradock/php-fpm/~/dockerfile/ then you have php 5.6. From the messages you are pulling phalcon for php7

Check this: https://packagecloud.io/phalcon/stable and modify your commands specifically this one apt-get install -y php7.0-phalcon or you can switch your container to one that uses php7

Thanks for the reply.

Well I'm using php 7.0. Using laradock/php-fpm:7.0--1.3. And I still get that error message above. I uploaded my custom Dockerfile-70 for php-fpm in gist, used to build my php container. In my docker-compose.yml I targeted this file.

I'm using the multiple project approach of laradock, where you can define multiple application. I want it this way for simplicity reason, else I would've used other docker images that are available. Most of them all used same commands, so I'm wondering it is not working here.
