I checked the support channel for each app I'm hosting (their requirements page and searched their forum for PHP8). The latest releases of the following apps support using PHP 8.0 (although some may not support PHP 8.1 yet) MantisBT Nextcloud ProjeQtOr TimeTracker WebERP Phpvirtualbox (head from GitHub) SuiteCRM v8 WackoWiki WordPress Of note MediaWiki does NOT support PHP8 (at least as of Christmas), so I replaced it with WackoWiki (WebERP uses a wiki for a product/customer/vendor knowlebase and supports both WackoWiki and MediaWiki). > As for making the switch itself, since I am still using postmaster (I tried > poudriwassits again, in earnest, and nope), is the postmaster -o flag still the > best way to replace the old version? I made a list of my PHP7 pkgs (% pkg info | grep -i php7), deleted them and installed PHP8 equivalents. IIRC there were some seperate modules in PHP7 that are now part of the core PHP80 pkg. Fwiw it took a couple hours and I did it on a live system. Cheers, Dale
