@fideloper thanks for such a nice little utility, I am wondering if php 8 support has been added yet?

Hi! Since Laravel Sail exists, you may want to use that instead. That being said, Yeah I can likely get php8 working here without too much hassle. Let me know if you try out Sail tho!

I already tried Laravel sail, but I thought vessel was a bit more flexible and can easily be customised. If that's not the case then I will revert back to that :-)

Thanks

@fideloper the php version can be manage by a ENV variable.. this containerized solution is pretty great and server many other things apart of larashit!

there are some ways:

• by a sed substitution of "7.4" string and "FROM" by example we set PHP_VER=8 (php 8.1) then the vessel can sed the "FROM" and change from FROM ubuntu:20.04 (that ships 7.4 php) to FROM ubuntu:22.04 (that ships 8.1 php) or PHP_VER=L that sed to FROM ubuntu:24.04 (soon to be releasesd).. **this measn that even use php7.4-pgsql php7.4-sqlite3 in package names you can also use php-pgsql php-sqlite that exists and defauts internally to such respective versions
• by a specific Dokerfile files for each version and use softlyns .. the PHP_VER=8 internally in the vessel will just link the respective dockerfile that provide the respective php version.. by example if we have PHP_VER=8 , the vessel must have docker/app/Dockerfile-php8 and then just softlink (ln -s) docker/app/Dockerfile-php8->docker/app/Dockerfile

we can just pass or configure the php version as PHP_VER=8 for php 8.1, PHP_VER=7 for php 7.4 or PHP_VER=L for 8.2 (winbuntu lasted, cos i gues you will use LTS only) and use respective winbuntu image in the docker-files/docker/app/Dockerfile
