Hello, Thank you for this, that's very re-assuring news regarding OpenVZ/Virtuozzo itself. I'm carrying out some testing for possible container operating system replacements for CentOS 8, and as per your recommendation I'm giving VzLinux 8 a go. However, one issue I seem to have encountered is a lack of any PHP packages in the virtuozzolinux-base repo for VzLinux 8.
I can of course obtain PHP packages in a variety of other ways from other sources, but before I go down that road I just wanted to check to make sure I'm not missing something obvious, and that it really is the case that VzLinux 8 ships with no PHP. We use OpenVZ for selling customer containers that are largely used for Web hosting purposes, so being able to provide the full LAMP stack is pretty much essential. -- Kevin Drysdale Senior Systems Administrator iomart Tel: 0141 931 6400 Fax: 0141 931 6401 https://twitter.com/iomart https://www.linkedin.com/company/iomart www.iomart.com iomart - any cloud. your way. ************************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential material.
