Hi all,
some experience about the PHP update: * I patched FluxBB to work with PHP 8; make sure to use the latest master commit from the archbbs repo * We should monitor the error log though * PHP 8 reveals a mariadb deadlock which was hidden by PHP 7 before (errors were suppressed by @...). I recommend to rate limit extern.php (RSS feed) and search.php using Nginx. The builtin ratelimit of search can be disabled as well (within the FluxBB admin UI). For an example see: https://github.com/archlinux-de/etc-nginx/blob/master/vhosts.d/bbs.archlinux...
Thanks for updating, I'll try to upgrade and add the nginx config as you did.
* MediaWiki does not fully work with PHP 8 yet. Versions >= 1.36 should be compatible though: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T248925
* Flyspray wont work yet: https://bugs.flyspray.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=2620 Thanks, updated it to the php7 package for now.
Thanks for all the effort! Jelle
