#Devuan

If you are using PHP in apache (or likewise) and at cli, remember to check the alternative settings so you are running the correct version (the same version) of PHP.

E.g. update-alternatives (command can very on different flavours of Linux)


@Schmaker Yes, it might indicate, that the worker had tried to download a large video file or so and then parsed it in-memory. The worker is a CLI process, therefore you need to look in the proper php.ini file. Here on my #Devuan Linux it is /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini. Have you edited this file?

Since I moved server, I left behind my #Devuan install to restart from a #Debian 11 offered by my hosting provider which I immediately upgraded to Debian 12. This means I am back to #systemd land, and I'm already annoyed with it.

See, service mariadb [action] calls mariadb-admin that requires password-less root access (??) to localhost to do anything, which I don't allow for obvious security reasons.

On the other hand, systemctl [action] mariadb.service doesn't rely on mariadb-admin, but there's no graceful reload available either. 🤷‍♂️

I already miss /etc/init.d/mysqld [action].

Not thrilled that there’s no #NextCloud upgrade path between #PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.2 as I just changed #Devuan ’s major version.

This is because NextCloud refuses to upgrade more than one major version at a time, and on the upgrade path from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.2, NextCloud version 25 supports neither of them.

Currently compiling a PHP 8.1 executable to hopefully run the version 25 upgrade console command before I move on to version 26 which supports PHP 8.2.

Phew 🥵


How can the #devuan page be so snappy? https://www.devuan.org/

#Devuan 4.0 is released.

The usual disclaimer:
We Devuan users don't "hate" #systemd. We just don't want to use it, for various reasons. Free Software is about choice.

I currently have to stick with a much older version because my #systemd free #Devuan is not providing never versions of PHP than 7.0 ... I'm still patient about.

And it is a shame that many programming languages are not so well backwards-compatible like #Java was. Yes, was. Until #Oracle stepped in and messed it up. I cannot launch #Payara application server under latest Java 13 version while the specification says it should. Java saves the binary version number inside the compiled .class file so the JVM will automatically switch to the older standard. It is a shame, what Oracle did here. So I still with Payara 4.1 and #OpenJDK 8 for a little longer.

Yes, off-topic. But still relevant due to incompatible upgrades.
