Consider upgrading to PHP 8
0%
Description
After the last update, Joomla shows the following warning:
Your PHP version, 7.4.24, is only receiving security fixes from the PHP project at this time. This means your PHP version will soon no longer be supported. We recommend planning to upgrade to a newer PHP version before it reaches end of support on 2022-11-28. Joomla will be faster and more secure if you upgrade to a newer PHP version. Please contact your host for upgrade instructions.
So, we have to consider to upgrade to PHP 8. But, first of all, we have do verify the compatibility of the Mongo and Solr libraries.

- Priority changed from Low to High
I'm developing the new extensions for the migration to Joomla 4.
Currently I'm using PHP 8.1.13.
Can we consider to upgrade the PHP version on the portal machine?
The installed version is considered obsolete also for the last release of Joomla 3.

@tommaso.piccioli@isti.cnr.it it should be a matter of changing the version in the playbook, run it, and eventually cleaning up things manually: in the past I saw that some old packages were not cleaned up correctly.
A downtime is expected while the packages are being replaced and php-fpm restarted.

Tommaso Piccioli is it possible to deal with this? It seems easy.
