Since adding zip to your Dockerfile, have you done a rebuild of the container? The error above shows that zip is not enabled on your container at the current time.

I am stuck with these errors for days and I have tried quite a couple of Dockerfile configurations.
Exact errors
Problem 1
- Installation request for phpoffice/phpspreadsheet 1.11.0 -> satisfiable by phpoffice/phpspreadsheet[1.11.0].
- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet 1.11.0 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
Problem 2
- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet 1.11.0 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- maatwebsite/excel 3.1.19 requires phpoffice/phpspreadsheet ^1.10 -> satisfiable by phpoffice/phpspreadsheet[1.11.0].
- Installation request for maatwebsite/excel 3.1.19 -> satisfiable by maatwebsite/excel[3.1.19].
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
-
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-bcmath.ini
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-exif.ini
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-gd.ini
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-pcntl.ini
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-pdo_mysql.ini
- /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-sodium.ini
You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
