PHPRedis not available on PHP 8.1

[joebailey26]

Is there a way to add this package to the PHP 8.1 docker container?

I've now done a thorough test and ensured PHPRedis is working as expected on PHP8, which it is. But if I update the site to PHP8.1, I get Warning! PHPRedis extension is unavailable, which is required by WP Redis object cache. And I can't see redis in the output of php -info either.

After a bit of digging, I found that the packages were being installed, but not included in PHP's extensions. There were 4 packages total that hadn't made it to the PHP8.1 install, apcu, mcrypt, redis, and timezonedb. I realised there wasn't an .ini file for these in the following directory: /var/lib/docker/volumes/wwwjoebaileyphotographycom_config_php/_data/php/conf.d so I copied the files over from a PHP8.0 site, reloaded the PHP8.1 site and now the extensions are working.

I wonder if somewhere in EasyEngine's build step these files have just been missed and need to be added?

Further update, this is only happening when updating sites. New sites are not affected by the lack of files.
