panel: Use php8.0

[Linux123123]

Use php8.0 instead of php7.4. PHP 8 is supported since panel v1.3.0

Everything should work as expected as it basically was find 7.4 and replace it with 8.0. (Mostly because sury repo includes 8.0)

Tested on Debian 10

This is not working on Ubuntu 20.04. Are you sure PHP 8 is available natively? I couldn't find it on packages.ubuntu.com.

I swear I searched it before and it was in repos. Now after a bit more looking it's not, but the ondrej/php PPA includes it and we are already using it for Ubuntu 18. So I will just add it in 20 too I guess.

I usually think it's best to go with the versions released by the distribution maintainers if it's supported by Pterodactyl. For the older distros, we have to add using the PPA anyways so why not just go with the latest supported. But I think we should stay with 7.4 until Pterodactyl doesn't work with it anymore for focal since that's included in the repository. What do you think?

[vilhelmprytz]

I have now verified that these are working.

• Ubuntu 18.04
• CentOS 7
• CentOS 8
• Debian 9
• Debian 10

Of course I also see your point and totally agree, but is it really worth to hold of the php 8? Based on how it is was before Ubuntu 20.04 won't have php8.0 in it's repositories or it's going to be far far later. Yes this is a PPA and isn't as secure / maintained as php 7.4 is in the main repositories. Anyway my main point is that Ubuntu 20.04 might not support it at all. Also as with any new release of PHP it brings better performance, security updates and a lot more things. Also it would be quite strange that all the older distributions like Debian 9 or CentOS 7 gets the update and Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't?

[vilhelmprytz]

Sure, go with PHP 8. Does the sury repo work with Ubuntu?

[Linux123123]

Yes. I have already pushed out the commit.

[vilhelmprytz]

Now also tested to work on Ubuntu 20.04.

LGTM!
