Is it time to jump to 22.04?

[svpernova09]

PHP 8.3 will be released at then end of the month so I've been working on updates in preparation.

Do users want Ubuntu 22.04?

20.04 LTS ends in April 2025 so would be a good idea to try upgrading before then

(either that or jump to Debian lol)

I'm off topic there but just letting you know that Vagrant (and all Hashicorp products) went to a "non-free opensource" license specifying you can't use it in production. Now being OSS for dev technically won't change anything for Homestead since it is the very purpose, but it is sending a wrong signal. I would suggest to have an abstraction layer to be able to add other providers.

I hear you but it's likely out of scope for Homestead since Vagrant is the foundation of the project.

I also started working on it but it's still far from ready.
laravel/settler#248

@svpernova09 I guess, it's better to move upgrade to 22.04, since you're upgrading to vagrant 2.4.0, while at it, why don't we add support for Virtual Box v7 as well? cause Virtual Box v6.X ends next month.

I would love to get involve in this project, how can I help?

[ALameLlama]

@skeeith it would be Vagrant that would need to support this rather then Homestead but also Vagrant does support this as of 2.3.2. I am running homestead while using Vagrant 2.4.0 and Virtualbox 7.0.10. and haven't run into any issues.

[svpernova09]

My current plan is the next version of Settler will be based on 22.04 and support VirtualBox 7.0.x The next version of Homestead will be a major version bump to support this and the new default of PHP 8.3

I have vagrant 2.4, VB 7 and laravel/homestead v14.5.0 but I have some version issue :

EDIT : Vagrant 2.4 cause some issues with homestead. You can solve this version problem with this comment #1907 (comment)

[svpernova09]

Update: I have the amd64 box building and in testing. The ARM box fails to build due to an issue with Mailhog that I need to look into.

MongoDB seemed fine on 22.04 (It was one of the reasons we delayed upgrading for so long).

The Drupal and Drush launchers don't play nice with PHP 8.3 (And Drush is archived) so they have been removed.

[ALameLlama]

I don't think mailhog has been updated In years, Does mailpit have the same issue?

Thanks! Replaced Mailhog w/ Mailpit

@lloricode @ALameLlama there's some couple issues we've found on Vagrant 2.4.0 and Virtual Box v7.X that we've discuss on the other thread. I won't be specifying them here but you could read them here #1907

+1. I am using the homestead with wsl2 not vagrant box

Vagrant.require_version '>= 2.4'

@svpernova09 Hey, isn't there going to be a problem with hashicorp/vagrant#13263? It seems Node doesn't work on shared directories in newer Vagrant versions, if I'm reading it correctly.

I'm currently trying it and getting errors:

npm ERR! ENOTSUP: operation not supported on socket, write

We have to require this version of Vagrant to be able to specify multiple architectures in providers: IE the ARM box for Apple Silicon is also named laravel/homestead.

This looks like yet another reason not to use Virtualbox. With Broadcom's purchase and upheaval of VMware's programs, I'd be hesitant to recommend that route. Now that we have a new release out the door, I can get back to testing libvirt more, possibly the new default.

[svpernova09]

It's done. Homestead v15.0.0 has been tagged and requires a base box version of 14.0.2. Thanks to @browner12 for a ton of hands-on testing and PRs over the past 2 days.
