Johnathan, Thanks for the reply. I appreciate where you're coming from on keeping prod as simple and stable as possible, I wasn't trying to kick off a debate. I asked because I genuinely wanted to understand your perspective. I'm with you on "no compilers on exposed prod boxes." Where containers have worked well for us is leaning on them in the build pipeline, then keeping the production image as minimal as we can: just the app (often just a binary) and whatever it needs to execute. Sometimes that's even FROM scratch, or something tiny like Alpine, rather than starting from a full Ubuntu base and carrying around things we don't need. That said, you're right that containers are another layer to operate, and it's worth treating that as real complexity. In this case, it looks like Chris already has a working example in the repo I cloned it yesterday to build one myself and found it there. One thing that stood out is the base image/deps. For reference: https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/php/8.2-apache/images/sha256-89ad17cca... It looks like some dependencies are outdated/vulnerable, so my inclination is to bump to the latest viable base and see what breaks, then work forward from there. Thanks, Steve Gilmore

It would seem I ran over you a little on this one. I didn’t initially pick up on topic/Linting/ImageUpdate01https://codeberg.org/KCLUG/website/src/branch/topic/Linting/ImageUpdate01 was updating to the latest version of php and also moving to Trixie. You could likely merge feature/php-apache-updatehttps://codeberg.org/KCLUG/website/src/branch/feature/php-apache-update into your this branch and then when we’re ready open a PR to merge everything into main.
I was able to use a variety of linting tools to migrate the code base from 8.2 to 8.5. I think it’s likely in fairly good shape and the site seems to function without issue but someone who knows php well should take a look at it.
Thanks,
Steve Gilmore

I will be happy to throw $200 towards whatever VM & site & host & etc to however you'd like to use that. I can give cash to someone in the KC area, send a check (yes, I am old enough that I still have checks), or we can figure out credit card usage or whatever works. I'll consider it my "annual dues". haha
Feel free to message me directly: [email protected] and i can provide my phone number to text/discuss.

Thanks Steve, that's very generous.
KCLUG does not have an organizational structure; we do not have a treasurer or any means to accept or hold donations except in-kind (services or hardware). For now, any KCLUG member has the same authority as any other, so it's best if you just earmark the money and hang on to it for the rest of us.
