LAMP (PHP 5.5.9) for an old web application

[andirahmat]

Hi everyone.

I have this old web application from around 2011, currently i'm using LAMP running on vm/vps with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This web app limited to php 5.5.9 as this version included in ubuntu 14.04.

I wonder if anyone can accept my offer for this lamp stack build on Cloudron Platform. Requirement details would be around this : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04

Please let me know on the forum chat if you can help, we can discuss more.

@andirahmat I can assist in creating a custom LAMP app for this - however a few things to note before going forward:

1. You are asking for an app that will probably never make it to the app store (you will need to install and update via my custom code)
2. The software in question is not longer supported (PHP5, ubuntu 14.04, etc)
3. The security of the app will NOT be up to standards due to the above.

@murgero I did not expect it to be avialable on the app store. But i hope there will be php 5.5.9 docker images still available. And yes i fully understand about security risk, but i have no option until new version of the app finished.

May we continue discuss this on forum chat then. Thank you.

I think we will get this question again sooner or later.
Will you create a git repo / fork on https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron for that?

@BrutalBirdie The repo will be on the cloudron gitlab, but it will NOT be endorsed by Cloudron, it will not be official.

Sure! I am totally aware that this will only be custom app not supported or endorsed by Cloudron.
I never expected something else

@murgero I'm sorry to revive an old thread but I also need to run a PHP 5.x LAMP stack. I couldn't find the repo on the CR gitlab. Did it ever make it there?

[murgero]

@humptydumpty I have an alpha build of this but I have been so busy I never had a chance to complete it. I need to get back into it as @andirahmat was expecting it a long time ago

@murgero How hard would it be to create a PHP 5.6 version instead of 5.5.9?

Also, would any of the above custom repo's run on Ubuntu 20.04 or will I have to stick to an older version?

[murgero]

@humptydumpty 20.04 doesn't have any repos that would install 5.6 since it's EOL - but my current docker image can be easily swapped to 5.6.

I'm always for helping people out, and seeing people get help, especially in the right context... But this seems like it can more easily be solved by simply installing a regular LAMP stack on a VPS, with the version(s) you need. You could do it within 30 minutes. Why post such a request here? The minimum specs are clear about Cloudron!

If you actually don't know how to set up a LAMP stack, well, then drop me a DM and I can get you up and running.

[murgero]

@scooke You make a good point, places like DigitalOcean have pre-built VMs for LAMP, not sure about something as old as 5.6 but even then it takes no time to just install
