      Hi @AnotherAndy,

      you have already stated our general position in your opening topic:

      @anotherandy said in Debian 8/9 included PHP Versions EOL on 12/2018 - Nextcloud requires PHP7:

      I remember some other posts where I read “we only support the OS build in php version”

      If you want to use PHP 7.2 then the general recommendation is to move to a distribution that supports it out of the box (Ubuntu 18.04 would be one of those). Alternatively the Docker/Containerisation approach is popular as well.

      but what helps survy.org if kopano will not support it?

      Its just that we don’t support it with our packages. One could take the source code of php-mapi and compile a version compatible with it.

      Regards Felix

        Hi Felix,
        thanks for the confirmation.
        I will check out a Docker solution than.

        best regards
        Andreas

          @AnotherAndy if your vps does not support docker this may be interesting. For my private sytems I am using Netcup (reflink) for a while now. They are not really expensive and you can even install servers from iso images.

          PS: they even offer discount codes for virtual servers. If you want one let me know.

          Regards Felix

            I am old fashioned, I have a physical box running Linux with VirtualBox on it and I run all the virtual machines there. Works fantastically well. And doesn’t cost anything other than the electricity.

              hi @fbartels ,
              thanks - I think Netcup will be my future Hoster :-) - I am already in contact with my current hoster, when I can end the contract.
              If I choose Netcup I’ll send you a private message.
              @mcostan - yeah a root server is also pretty good - but too powerfull for me. currently i only need 2 GB of RAM and 2 CPUs.
              thanks a lot for your help and suggests.
              best regards
              Andreas

                Possible - but no good idea, because in Debian 9 (https://wiki.debian.org/PHP)
                only PHP 7.00 is included - which is also EOL at the end of the year.

                But D9 will keep PHP7.0 alive for as long as it’s needed (until D10 has a reasonable foot, i.e. 2020).

                  that is of course true as well

                    Question, how about running Kopano on a virtual machine (or server) and the cloud on another one? This way you have no coupling between the two.

                    That’s what I do.

                      @mcostan that is of course the obvious answer. depending on your user load I would even go as far to recommend to always run kopano on a dedicated machine.

                        …hmm. I think Debian support PHP7.2 in the Buster-Release.

                        https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=buster&keywords=php7.2

                        And…yes. You should split your Web-Services from Kopano (core) to different Servers.

                          Even better,

                          https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=kopano
                          so dont worry the Debian devs will keep this going.
