Hello,
I've been running Devuan on my break even public facing webhosting
system for several years. I've been using ISPConfig and the debian
perfect server instructions with adjustments for Devuan. I'm up to
Devuan Beowulf at the moment and trying to go to chimaera so that I
can get PHP 7.4 support. I'm happy to build a new server and migrate
sites from Beowulf to Chimaera except that PHP 7.4 goes end of life at
the end of November of this year. The current versions PHP are 8.0
and 8.1.
Using the instructions at packages.sury.org, I am able to add the
other versions of PHP except for PHPN.n-fpm due to a (what seems to be
a completely unnecessary) dependence upon systemd.
I would love to keep running Devuan. It runs way better than anything
systemd based. Is there a workaround for this limitation? I've tried
installing the package from chimaera, but it's a couple of minor
revisions behind sury.org. It also seems to need a version of libc6
greater than or equal to x.xx.
As a web hoster I need to be able to deploy multiple versions of PHP
and I don't see very advanced support for it in Devuan. Developers
need to test PHP 8 as it's different enough to cause trouble for apps
written intending to run on version 7.4
Trying not to install ubuntu,
--Curtis

I am running PHP in docker containers for the purpose of running
multiple versions simultaneous. Docker works just fine on Devuan. And if
docker does not work for you can look for the PHP start command in the
docker container which does not have systemd dependencies afaik.
