PHP Interpreters for arm64

[elementary]

First of all, thank you for the KeyHelp free panel. It's a great piece of engineering.

I know this has been brought up before but I'll try again.

I understand that the devs won't invest in maintaining PHP builds for arm64 if it's not a company priority.

However, cloud deployments to arm64 instances I would imagine are of increasing interest to hosters and users.

Is there any guidance please on how one may add other PHP versions to KeyHelp itself in a sane and correct way?

Thank you.

One possibility would be to specify a choice: "use of compiled PHP packages" or those "from sury.org" (for all PHP versions).

The sury.org PHP packages have been running very stable for > 10 years ... and even if a problem occurs, it was solved within a few hours (at least within 24 hours).

I plan to do some tests this week regarding the compilation on arm64 systems.

Whats the point not to use the packages from Sury?
The ones delivered by Debian/Ubuntu also are maintained by him, and they are used by default.

I finally found the time to compile and test it on an emulated arm64 system. It works .
Now all I need is some real arm hardware. The emulated one is way too slow.

Good news! Unfortunately, I can't offer my main ARM64 server, because there are too many third party data on it. If noone else can provide an appropriate server I might consider to rent another (smaller, 6C+8GB should do?) ARM64 server for a month for this purpose.

Thank you . But don't worry, I'll take care of requesting the new hardware from within the company.

I don't know if you already made up your mind about the hardware, but I have 2 ARM64 vm running on a Mac Studio with UTM, one with KeyHelp, works like a charm.

Ok, that's preferable, of course.
