Re: Textpattern demo sites - stack changes, upgrades, tweaks et cetera
Upgraded: PHP 8.4.0beta3.
Note: PHP 8.4.0beta1 & PHP 8.4.0beta2 were both officially skipped, though I did grab PHP 8.4.0beta1 in time. I need some popcorn for this PHP release, it’s wild.
Expect a possibly bumpy ride on the PHP 8.4.0 pre-release demo as a) we get our house in order, and; b) the PHP crew get their house in order. There will be errors.
Please check against known issues and open a new issue if the breakage you spot isn’t listed.

Re: Textpattern demo sites - stack changes, upgrades, tweaks et cetera
Some commentary on the removal of “HTTP/3 & QUIC” from the Upcoming section of these posts…
I spent some time trying to get HTTP/3 & QUIC running on Nginx on a clean server, with a view to merging it into the Textpattern demo site build before wider deployment. I failed. I gave up after most of a Saturday of hacking, grokking, swearing, and bodging. I am shelving HTTP/3 & QUIC on Nginx for another 12 months at least.
In theory, I did enable HTTP/3 & QUIC on Nginx, but the HTTP/3 & QUIC testers I used were so varied in their compliance reports that I had no confidence it was actually running properly. Even across browsers, there was such variance in what was HTTP/3 and what was falling back go HTTP/2, and I don’t like that at all. HTTP/3 & QUIC on Nginx is still considered experimental, so I’ll be a little further along the bell curve for adoption, I think.
I will be trying Caddy at some stage, and field reports are more positive on that front. Whether I switch to Caddy as my go-to browser remains to be seen. When Caddy is running, I’m going to try FrankenPHP and see how that performs. I have a lot of optimising with Nginx + PHP-FPM lined up, but I’m open to other options.

I’ve been using Caddy for one of my projects and I love it. Having only one configuration file (the Caddyfile) is so much simpler. Having Lets Encrypt built in is just awesome and being able to easily turn it off if you have your own certificates is just perfect.

Oh my, more stuff to research. I just love reading your nerdy Linux posts. The only issue is it keeps sending me down many (extremely fun) rabbit holes.

Interesting so, FrankenPHP is another web server designed to integrate closely with PHP and uses Caddy as its core. I think more digging is required on this one.

Narrator: he actually meant go-to web server.
