What support do you feel is currently missing?
What's probably missing is puppet support so that you can just apply a role
to a cloud VPS and get a LAMP with PHP8 without manually setting it up.
role::simplelamp2 which is for that currently supports stretch, buster,
bullseye with PHP 7.0 through 7.4 but not PHP8.
For that one has to add the Sury repos.
For wow to do it manually see for example
https://www.linuxshelltips.com/install-php-8-debian/
But we could add support for this to the puppet role, if that is something
there is interest for. That way it becomes easier for users to end up with
always the
same LAMP system.

So yes, you are free to utilize it. What support do you feel is currently
missing?

Hey Amanda,
There's no policy that I'm aware of which prevents you from installing
PHP 8 on a WMCS VM, providing you're careful with the source/licence [0]
and potential effects on package upgrades —
packages.sury.org/php [1] is
my go-to DPA for PHP 8.

I apologize if this discussion is already
occurring in a task, I am
terrible at finding relevant phab tasks people haven't linked.
But I assume that PHP 8 can not be loaded onto WM Cloud Servers by a
matter of policy, correct?
My concern here is, I have some code that just lost security patches due
to EOL. The next upgrade only supports PHP 8.
It has the ability to leave a huge gap in the security of my code.
Is there any plan to support PHP 8 any time soon?
