@Nish Sorry for the late reply: > 3 years *should* be sufficient time to move to PHP7.0 -- but that's just my opinion (and wouldn't PHP5 be out of support by then anyways?)
In theory yes, but in practice not. I.e. my company just launched a Drupal 7 project last week and won't except a relaunch in the next three years. We already did Drupal 8 but it's not yet stable when you also look at all the modules. > Upstream Drupal 7 is still not passing all tests with PHP7 last I checked, so we've left it broken for now in the archive. You don't support PHP5 anymore so you should have deleted it from the archive. All the man power goes to the Drupal 8 ecosystem right now, so it will most probably stay a PHP5 app all along. > If I find some time this week or next, maybe I'll work on a blog post or something that will help document such a configuration, at least as an example. I will also see if I can find some way to document the performance impact. That sounds great and could indeed be a solution using Nginx as Reverse Proxy and the stuff in LXD as an upstream for it. But it's still a complex setup and LXD/LXC got some security problems as Matthew Garrett pointed out. Anyway i am willing to help you out on that if i can and we could do an example with Drupal 7 as best practice for upgrading to xenial. Just write me a mail and i share you my contact details. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522422 Title: Update to php 7.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1522422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
