New base image 5.1.0

[girish]

We have a new base image which is updated to the latest Ubuntu 24.04 (still not 26.04).

The new base image is:
cloudron/base:5.1.0@sha256:1c0666c9abe9e2090d33686826d4e97769b799124573118d41e0d7485135748e

IMPORTANT CHANGE 1: PHP is no more part of the base image. Given PHP is changing lot more actively than before and apps are requiring much more recent PHPs, we have split it out into another base image. PHP itself is only special because we have over 40 apps using PHP, so it made sense to share it.

IMPORTANT CHANGE 2: nodejs is not part of the PATH anymore. nodejs is also constantly changing and apps are requiring specific versions. There is a nodejs in the repo though (for the moment). You can get it by adding ENV PATH=/usr/local/node-24.19.0/bin:$PATH . This way it's clear that your app needs node 24.19.0.

PHP base images:
For PHP 8.5:
cloudron/php-base:8.5@sha256:6212759b8992bb2c09083c6ef12fa7a2bb75c13c9aa77a3dd94f593a5b63e1dd

For PHP 8.4:
cloudron/php-base:8.4@sha256:365607342e6b50f4f53d9b524313df4bfe654596baf762ee2e5af58c3498aa4b

The skills and docs have been updated to reflect the above images.

Is it just me (bad memory or mis-remembered) or is the base image now really 3.4Gb ?

I seem to recall it was about 850Mb (but I seldom trust my memory these days).

it's ~2.3GB for the base image here. Maybe the size depends on the backend being used. Large part of it comes from mongo tools, default nodejs, etc . There will be a base image 6.0.0 for the release after Cloudron 10 which will use Ubuntu 26. For that release, we plan to remove all these heavy tooling from the base image and make it a lot slimmer. Just had to prioritize getting Cloudron 10 over the line.
