As of writing this, Moss.sh does not support PHP 8.1 via the control panel even though Ubuntu does.
Set up your website using Moss.sh and select Apache with PHP 7.4.
Once complete, we need to install PHP 8.1 with all the packages moss installs for 7.4.
apt install php8.1-bcmath php8.1-bz2 php8.1-cli php8.1-common php8.1-curl php8.1-dev php8.1-fpm php8.1-imap php8.1-intl php8.1-mbstring php8.1-mysql php8.1-opcache php8.1-pgsql php8.1-readline php8.1-soap php8.1-sqlite3 php8.1-xml php8.1-xmlrpc php8.1-zip php8.1-gd php8.1-igbinary php8.1-imagick php8.1-memcached php8.1-msgpack
Lets configure PHP 8.1 FPM for the sites user so that Apache or NGINX can process PHP scripts. Make sure to change myuser to your sites user.
cp /etc/php/8.1/fpm/pool.d/www.conf /etc/php/8.1/fpm/pool.d/myuser.conf
sed -i 's/\[www\]/\[myuser\]/g' /etc/php/8.1/fpm/pool.d/myuser.conf
sed -i 's/www-data/myuser/g' /etc/php/8.1/fpm/pool.d/myuser.conf
sed -i 's/php8.1-fpm/php8.1-fpm-myuser/g' /etc/php/8.1/fpm/pool.d/myuser.conf
Restart php-fpm
service php8.1-fpm reload
Now we switch Apache/NGINX/OpenResty from PHP 7.4 to 8.1 by replacing some words. Again, make sure to replace myuser and mysite.com configuration file.
Apache Method
sed -i 's/php7.4-fpm-myuser/php8.1-fpm-myuser/g' /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite.com.conf
Restart Apache
service apache2 restart
NGINX/OpenResty Method
Moss.sh uses OpenResty which is a fork of NGINX, but they label it as NGINX in their control panel.
sed -i 's/php7.4-fpm-myuser/php8.1-fpm-myuser/g' /usr/local/openresty/nginx/sites/mysite.com.conf
Restart OpenResty
service openresty restart
@eartisan-uk The closest I have found is cleavr.io. It has many more features and is built better, in my opinion.
From a Laravel development point of view, Cleavr is not as good as Moss though.Cleavr has had a lot of development in the last few months and works very well with Laravel, even supporting queues and workers.With newer Laravel projects, I have written my own GitHub actions, which replicate what Capistrano does to deploy a project. No requirement on any platform other than Github to deploy.
Moss uses Ansistrano/Capistrano to deploy from version control, where it has a releases/current folder with the symlink. I do try to release as much code as possible, so I may release it someday.
