👉 Describe the problem

Hi! Someone is having a problem with installing a FilamentPHP Plugin that he purchased. I also have the same issue in the future as I will need to install a private package as well.

👥 Problem evidence & reach

According to that chat above, here' the error he got when trying to install that private package.

In JsonConfigSource.php line 245:

  file_put_contents(/composer/auth.json): Failed to open stream: Permission denied.

🥰 Describe the "impact" on users?

This is very important to developers who use private packages to save time with the development. I have also tried making a private package before hosted at GitLab Private Composer packages or something. There are also a lot of private Laravel-related packages out there especially related to FilamentPHP and Statamic, so I'm sure they'll be bummed out if their favorite package cannot be installed.

🏆 How to solve this problem

This might involve tinkering with the Dockerfile.php so we can add auth.json somewhere that the Composer CLI will recognize.

💯 How do we validate the problem is solved?

The problem is solved if we can install packages from private Composer repositories.

I solve this by running the composer auth config inside the container using spin run. No need to tinker with Dockerfile.php.

spin run php composer config http-basic.spark.laravel.com $SPARK_USERNAME $SPARK_API_TOKEN

This way, no permission issues, no need to persist auth.json, and works fine in both local and CI.

Thaks a lot. Works for me! I use this command

spin run php composer config http-basic.<plugin_name>.composer.sh [email protected] your-license-key:yourdomain.com
