Moving from Apache to FrankenPhp : how to manage local virtualhosts and PHP versions ?

[dah-HUB]

Hi,

Actually, I code apps in Laravel,
I wanted to test frankenphp locally; And if its Okay, move the Prod.

How I'm settings up things now :

• I create virtualhots in /etc/apache2/available-sites/ as this pattern : project name.customer name.local , Ex : crm.lestilleuls.local
• I also add those names to /etc/hosts
• All the the code is located in /var/www/html/ as /var/www/html/PHP version/customer name/project name/

Question 1 : How to manage multiple hosts (apps) in frankenphp ?

I slso use a script to switch PHP versions : 7.4 -> 8.1 -> 8.2 , by Enable/Disable Apache Modules (or services for FPM) + update-alternatives

Question 2 : How to manage PHP versions in frankenphp ?

Thanks for your Help

FrankenPHP is just a custom build of Caddy, you can manage your virtual hosts as with a standard Caddy installation using site blocks: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts#addresses

Supporting multiple PHP installations in the same process is currently not supported. You'll have to start a different instance of FrankenPHP per PHP version.

I don't want to install dnf now... I tried to compile using homebrew and xcaddy/go, but there are some errors

I think you should be able to

sudo zypper install https://rpm.henderkes.com/static-php-1-1.noarch.rpm
sudo zypper install frankenphp

Not sure though because I don't think zypper supports modularity.

And if that doesn't work you could definitely install the packages manually:

zypper install https://rpm.henderkes.com/x86_64/el9/php-zts-cli-8.5.5-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
zypper install https://rpm.henderkes.com/x86_64/el9/php-zts-embed-8.5.5-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
zypper install https://rpm.henderkes.com/x86_64/el9/frankenphp-1.12.2_85-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

But without updates, you'd be better off using docker instead (or installing dnf).

This added the static-phppackage but the package frankenphp wasn't found.
I wasn't able to make docker work. I'm using OpenSUSE Slowroll

I was able to compile it with php 8.2:

• xcaddy and watcher-c were build from source.

• Compilation required to manually copy /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/php@8.2-zts/8.2.30/include/php/Zend to /usr/local/include/Zend and /watcher/watcher-c/include/wtr/watcher-c.h to /usr/local/include/wtr/watcher-c.h

Compilation required to install these dependencies:

libsybdb5
libpq5
libaspell15
libpspell15

And I needed to edit the original compile command to:

CGO_ENABLED=1 \
XCADDY_GO_BUILD_FLAGS="-ldflags='-w -s' -tags=nobadger,nomysql,nopgx" \
CGO_CFLAGS=$(php-config --includes) \
CGO_LDFLAGS="$(php-config --ldflags) $(php-config --libs) -L$(php-config --prefix)/lib -Wl,-rpath,$(php-config --prefix)/lib -L$(brew --prefix pcre2)/lib" \
/home/david/go/bin/xcaddy build \
    --output frankenphp \
    --with github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/caddy \
    --with github.com/dunglas/mercure/caddy \
    --with github.com/dunglas/vulcain/caddy \
    --with github.com/dunglas/caddy-cbrotli

Then I had to: sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/bin/frankenphp
