Installing PHP 8.5

Since PHP 8.5 is now available in the Sury repository, can we install it using the Hestia web interface or run this script from the command line?

v-add-web-php 8.5

You should wait until Hestia adds support for it. Also, not all PHP packages installed by Hestia are available in the Sury repositories yet.

You can check this on your own server:

export php_ver="$(php -v | head -1 | sed -E 's/.*([0-9]{1,}\.[0-9]{1,})\.[0-9]{1,}.*/\1/')"; for i in $(dpkg -l | awk "/^ii[[:space:]]*php$php_ver/ {print \$2}" | sed "s/php$php_ver/php8.5/g"); do echo -n "$i:"; if apt search "$i" 2>/dev/null | grep -q "^$i/"; then echo " OK"; else echo " NOT_AVAILABLE"; fi; done | sort -k2 | column -t -N PACKAGE,AVAILABILITY

There is a PR to add PHP 8.5 support in Hestia, but you need to be patient until it gets merged and included in a new Hestia release.

Keep in mind that as of PHP 8.5, the OpCache module is included in PHP and is no longer distributed as a separate package.

If you want to install PHP 8.5 now, use these instructions at your own risk.

sudo -i
cd
git clone https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp.git ~/git/hestiacp-php85
cd ~/git/hestiacp-php85
git fetch origin pull/5157/head:pr-5157
git switch pr-5157
git diff --name-only main...pr-5157 | while read f; do cp "/usr/local/hestia/$f" "/usr/local/hestia/$f.before_php85"; cp -f "$f" "/usr/local/hestia/$f";done
v-add-web-php 8.5

If you want to revert it:

v-delete-web-php 8.5
find /usr/local/hestia -name "*before_php85" | while read f; do ori="$(sed 's/\.before_php85$//' <<<"$f")" ; mv "$f" "$ori";done
