How to add Composer to a chrooted environment in Plesk?

  To add composer to a chrooted shell.

  Follow the download instructions from https://getcomposer.org/download/:

  While logged in as root

  • sudo su root
  • cd /var/www/vhosts/chroot
  • php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
    
  • If you wish to verify composer is valid, copy the "if (hash_file('SHA384'" line from the website above
  • php composer-setup.php
    
  • php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

  Now you'll may noticed that when you access the a user that is chrooted, composer is still missing.
  There are a few extra commands to update the bin directories of the chrooted user/domain.

  • /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/chrootmng --remove --source=/var/www/vhosts/chroot --target=/var/www/vhosts/<domain name>
  • /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/chrootmng --create --source=/var/www/vhosts/chroot --target=/var/www/vhosts/<domain name>

  It's worth noting that if you have a bunch of chrooted users, you may want to write a script to execute the commands all in one go so it will save you a head-ache.

  Good luck.

  Hello, @Adam!

   

  Thank you very much for sharing, I am sure this information will come in handy for anyone else who would like to add a composer without using update_chroot.sh.

  Doen but had an error,

  bash-4.4$ /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar

  Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Phar' not found in /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar:23
  Stack trace:
  #0 {main}
  thrown in /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar on line 23

  I searched online and seems many people had the same on chroot bash on plesk, would you recommend a fix.

  Hello @Fouad Ahmed Fouad,

  In case you are using CloudLinux on the server, enable the same modules as under LVE Manager > PHP Selector for the native PHP:  Tools & Settings > PHP Settings > alt-php > Extensions.

  In case another OS is in use - please submit ticket to us for deeper investigation: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608509-How-to-submit-a-request-to-Plesk-support-

  Hi folks.
  This is how I do with PHP 7.4 provided by Plesk :

  # ./update_chroot.sh --add /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php
  # ./update_chroot.sh --add composer
  # mkdir /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/
  # cp -a /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/composer.phar /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/
  # mkdir -p /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/local/bin
  # ln -s /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php
  # rsync -av /opt/plesk/php/7.4 /var/www/vhosts/chroot/opt/plesk/php

  and then, ./update_chroot.sh --add  for all libs in module directory :

  # for lib in /opt/plesk/php/7.4/lib/php/modules/*.so ; do ./update_chroot.sh --add ${lib} ; done

  composer and PHP need some timezone data :

  # mkdir -p /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/share
  # rsync -av /usr/share/zoneinfo /var/www/vhosts/chroot/usr/share/

  one final

  # ./update_chroot.sh --apply all

  and composer works

  Hello Dutiko,

  
  I have tried with PHP 7.3 following the exact same commands but it doesn't work :(
