Big CI improvements dropping on serversideup/php soon 🚀

Just launched v4.3.0 for serversideup/php 🥳 We're grateful for the 4 new contributors. Keep shipping more PHP, everyone! 🚀 github.com/serversideup...

v4.3.0-beta1 is now available for serversideup/php with 4 new contributors 🤩 It includes Alpine 3.23, FrankenPHP v1.11.1, security improvements, and more. We'd love help testing this release so we can merge these to stable soon 🚀 github.com/serversideup...

Here are some tips if you're approaching containers/Docker for the first time. If you want reproducibility with simplicity and don't mind downtime during updates: 👉 Use Docker Compose If you want reproducibility with zero downtime updates: 👉 Use Docker Swarm

For our brothers and sisters using NGINX Unit, I created a deprecation notice for Unit that displays on startup. It includes a guide on how to migrate. Move to FrankenPHP if you want the single binary experience 💯 Hopefully this helps calm any worries or panic 😅

TIL that Vercel uses a custom HTTP Status Code: 402: PAYMENT_REQUIRED This displays to all visitors if you have a billing issue with your account 😬 github.com/vercel/commu...

FrankenPHP v1.10.0 was released yesterday and we updated serversideup/php to ship with the latest and greatest version 🚀 See what's new in FrankenPHP v1.10.0: github.com/php/frankenp...

This week we shipped: 🧟‍♂️ FrankenPHP 🚀 Laravel Octane 🐘 PHP 8.5 Now you can do this with Spin Pro! Run on any VPS with no downtime 💪 50% off now → Black Friday. All of this supports our open source work ❤️ Now's the best time ever to try Docker 🐳 getspin.pro

PHP 8.5 is now shipping with serversideup/php 😎 It's available on all variations: - CLI - FPM - FPM + Apache - FPM + NGINX - FrankenPHP Enjoy the pipe operator and URI extension! 🎉 serversideup.net/open-source/...

PHP 8.5 launches tomorrow! 🥳 We already have it ready for testing if you want to get a head start. Once PHP 8.5 is marked as stable and the images are built, we'll roll out 8.5 support shortly after 🚀 github.com/serversideup...

It's been a crazy week 🤪 The Docker 29 release caught a few projects off guard, causing their services to stop or malfunction. It affected: - Traefik - Watchtower - Ansible (community.docker) Be extra vigilant with your next updates 😅 www.docker.com/blog/docker-...

Anyone confident with Laravel Octane? One of our community members brought up a great point and we'd love to hear your feedback. Should we always use the default Octane Caddyfile? Or should we try to mimic it in our own? 🤔 👇More here github.com/serversideup...

⚠️ Heads up Traefik + Docker users! There's a nasty bug out there that will cause Traefik to return nothing but 404 errors if you upgrade to Docker 29.0.0 👉 Don't upgrade if you haven't already See this thread for more info github.com/traefik/trae...

I've been doing a ton of testing. This is what the entire upgrade process from FPM-NGINX to FrankenPHP looks like. So far it just magically works 🪄🎩🐰

Who's using Docker + PHP with serversideup/php? We'd love you to share your link below 😃 github.com/serversideup...

Laravel Octane will be natively supported in serversideup/php v4 🚀 New beta coming soon 👀

👇 My thoughts on programming language wars: No one cares about the type of hammer you used to build a building. They just care the structure is stable and they're having a good time when they visit.

The power of containers really hits when you can simply switch a single line to completely upgrade a PHP version or change web servers. 🚀 I was just doing some testing. I switched between NGINX, Apache, and FrankenPHP all in about 30 seconds 🤯

Our FrankenPHP Alpine images are coming in at about 65 MB 🪶

The @nuxt.com team is highly underrated 💯 I'm working with Nuxt Content, and this product blows my mind 🤯 It's easy, flexible, and fast. Open sourcing Nuxt UI was a solid move too. You know you're crushing it when a SERVER GUY compliments JavaScript 🤓

Commit early, commit often 🤠

Coming soon to serversideup/php docs 👀

I have a question that I do not want to start a holy war with: 👉 Why choose Symfony over Laravel for a new project? I'm genuinely curious because I've never maintained a Symfony app. Can we have a constructive conversation below? 😅

It's 2025 and I still don't know why web developers aren't using Docker from Development → Production 🤔

We're shipping BenchKit as Docker-first, but you can also run it as a standalone PHP application on any host. To allow greater flexibility on deployments, I created two Composer packages for our benchmark tools and got it to work! 🥳 Here it is running on Laravel Cloud 😁

I've used Laravel every day for 12+ years, and it amazes me how feature rich this framework is. I keep discovering new things all the time and it blows my mind 🤯

This is why I love building and using Spin 💯 BenchKit runs with multiple PHP servers, defaulting to fpm-nginx you can switch to FrankenPHP with a simple variable. ⚡️ Works on any OS 💯 Consistent environments 🔒 Centrally managed Docker from Dev → Prod is a game changer 🪄

💡 LARAVEL PRO TIP: Laravel doesn't require a .env file to run; environment variables just need to be accessible. This is why I love using Docker from dev → prod. I can centralize management and minimize differences in .env files. Don't commit your secrets though 😅

Last night, I installed DHH's Omarchy 1.0 then saw the 2.0 installer was available this morning. I reinstalled with 2.0 in under 10 minutes. It's now easier than installing Windows! 🥳 All on a laptop I bought directly from Acer for $275 🤣 Great work Omarchy community ❤️

Just tagged v3.6.0 beta for serversideup/php! 🥳 Say hello to Debian Trixie and pinned NGINX versions 👋 There's a lot of tooling in this release to make it easier to publish future releases, so stay tuned as I start working on v3.7 🚀 What's new 👇 github.com/serversideup...

I can't believe that @github.com has the New Release screen default to "latest release". This seems quite dangerous 🤠 I just accidentally published an open source release by pressing "ENTER" on my number pad instead of "." THANK GOD it was actually stable code 😅

What's an app that you really wish you could self-host?

Just pushed a cool CI update to serversideup/php 🤓 We pull official PHP information from php.net, but that doesn't mean a Docker image is available. If that's the case, we fall back to the latest available version and show a nice warning 👌

Building an open-source community is rewarding. I learn daily and meet new people. The key of quality growth is how to get help and support. Here's everything I learned on how to ask for help. Use it for your own community if you want 😃 serversideup.net/ask-for-help/

How do you organize your software project tasks? Here's an example how I organized SelfHost Pro for @danpastori.bsky.social while we work asynchronously. 🎨 Figma embeds natively ✅ Checkboxes for testing all features 🎥 Video for complicated parts 🗣️ Notion comments for questions

I've been quite busy lately 😃 SelfHost Pro is coming along well. I'm excited to showcase how this launch will allow anyone to sell self-hosted applications, regardless of the programming language 🥳
