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
Do you already know when PHP 8.5 will be supported, so it’s not needed to run these commands Installing PHP 8.5 - #7 by sahsanu “at my own risk”?
The PR is merged so… in next release, when will be released?.. I don’t know, but I hope very soon.
I wrote a script that can add support for new PHP versions with one click. In the future, when a new version is released, you only need to modify the version number in one place! Reference code below:

If a new version is released in the future, you can simply execute the following command to change it to the specific future version in one click. For example:
sed -i 's/"8.5"/"8.6"/' /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-add-php-version
