Docker Install: How to install soap client

I have spun up a Docker Container from wordpress:latest with volume mapping for the parts I need persisted and it seems to work fine.

A plug-in I am using requires soap client and I don’t see any good explanation of how to get it installed in the docker container.

For right now I’ve copied the ‘php.ini-development’ to my php.ini file and un-commented the line

;extension=soap

With that line un-commented I am getting the following error:

<b>Warning</b>: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘soap’
(tried: /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20180731/soap (/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20180731/soap:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory),
/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20180731/soap.so
(/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20180731/soap.so: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory)) in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />

I assume this means I need to install a soap package so I exec’d into the container and ran the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-cache search soap

This gives me a list of packages but none of them are php-soap.

Can someone tell me how to install the soap client in this environment?
